problem with rbash and su
Hi It seems that if I set up a user baduser with home directory /home/baduser and shell /bin/rbash then when that user logs in they cannot cd nor execute commands with /. This is what one would expect. However if that baduser uses #su - baduser to again login from their shell then they can cd anywhere they may have permissions (group perms for example) and can execute commands with / in them... basically all of the protections of rbash are gone... the shell running is in fact rbash though... here is the output of ps. BTW my example is for remote users... but this same baduser could walk up to anyones desk and use anyones shell (console, xterm) to simply su - baduser , give their password, and they are able to bypass the goodness of the rbash restrictions... Is this a bug? Something I didn't configure (obviously I can do a lot of other things to limit the user)? If a bug - against rbash/bash or against su/login? I did google briefly and also checked outstanding bash bugs on bugs.debian.org but didn't see this come up.

dpkg mysql 4.0.18 and subqueries
Does anyone have experience running successful subqueries with the debian packages mysql server? I see from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Subqueries.html the following. 14.1.8 Subquery Syntax A subquery is a SELECT statement inside another statement. Starting with MySQL 4.1, all subquery forms and operations that the SQL standard requires are supported, as well as a few features that are MySQL-specific. I show dpkg -l mysql-server ii mysql-server 4.0.18-8 mysql database server binaries on my box... have people installed the latest mysql-server independently with ease or is there a newer version upstream being released soon? Thanks for any info. Shawn Lamson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Try minicom, tip, and cu. Use whatever best fits your taste.
tip doesn't even exist in the repository (at least not by that name)
and minicom seems too much for what I want. So I tried cu:
~$ cu -c 5551234
cu: must specify system, line, port or speed
Usage: cu [options] [system or phone-number]
Use cu --help for help
ok... so let's try:
~$ cu -l /dev/ttyS0 -c 5551234
cu: No matching ports
I don't know what it is about modem-related programs and their
manpages, but they are among the most confusing manpages in existence.
I swear someone invented ethernet one day out of frustration of trying
to get an understanding of dialing out on a modem. Am I supposed to
have a config file? Where should it be? The man page and --help output
make mention of a named port. This sounds like a funny concept to me,
but it does suggest a config file is necessary. Unfortunately the man
page makes no mention of where that config file should be or more
importantly how it should be structured.
From the cu man page:
cu locates a port to use in the UUCP configuration files. If a
simple system name is given, it will select a port
appropriate for that system. The -p, --port, -l, --line,
-s and--speed options may be used to control the port selection.
Since you are doing that assignment via the options you should be able
to skip the UUCP config files.
What if you just do
#cu -l ttyS0
??? Can you then just send commands to the modem? Try ATDP. Also make
sure you have permissions set on the device file - /dev/ttyS0 or S1 or
whatever - try chmod 777 /dev/ttyS0 if you aren't sure.
Let me know what happens as once I take my box down and throw in a
serial port I plan to do this as well (this has been my plan for about
18 months) if it goes well for you I will *finally* get to it though!

Re: Doesn't MY_ENV=abc printf ${MY_ENV}\n suppose to print abc?

According to my understanding of the manual page,

Should have print abc. But it does not:
$ MY_ENV=abc printf ${MY_ENV}\n
What am I missing?
The MY_ENV=abc printf syntax sets the environment variable for the
printf subprocess. And, in fact, when printf runs, MY_ENV is truly set
to abc. However, the ${MY_ENV}\n is expanded *before* printf is
executed, and since MY_ENV is not set in the existing shell, the
expansion results in an empty string. The printf command doesn't even
see MY_ENV in its arguments, all it sees is a single argument that
looks like ``\n''.
Can you elaborate a little more on this? I am curious, too. After
reading your email I tried this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ unset COMMAND
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ COMMAND=printf $COMMAND x${COMMAND}\n
bash: x\n: command not found
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ COMMAND=printf $COMMAND x${COMMAND}\n
xprintf
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
So it seems that the variable is not assigned even for the subprocess.
Does the shell see programs to execute before it looks to do variable
substitution? I know the first things it sees are pipes and redirects
but I don't know more.
I must admit I had never thought of just running a command
after an assignment so it has never come up. Bug hunting is great, but
if the OP needs a solution for something, what about this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ unset MY_ENV [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ (MY_ENV=abc
printf x${MY_ENV}\n) xabc
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo x$MY_ENV
x
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
The parens make a subshell which is the new environment I assume the
the man page is talking about, right?

Only if it comes across a file that has not already been downloaded would it get the file from the web. I've experimented with lots of wget's command line options, and it seems to me like it ought to be able to do this, but I haven't been able to get it to work.

Re: automount permissions problem

I have a usb media reader than handles smartmedia, compact flash, etc. It works fine in the sense of being able to put media into it and mount the media, using the usb-storage module, and copy files off the media. The devices look like scsi disk drives, as expected with the use of usb-storage. It would be ideal to be able to use autofs to mount these drives, as I do for my dvd and cdrw drives, so I added the appropriate entries into auto.mount, the control file for my /mount automount directory. It looks like this: # Automount map file # 6/4/02 nl # #format: # key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location dvd-fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev,exec,user :/dev/dvd cdrw -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev,exec,user :/dev/cdrw floppy -fstype=vfat,nosuid,noauto,user,nodev,unhide:/dev/floppy cf -fstype=vfat,ro,nosuid,noauto,user :/dev/cf sm -fstype=vfat,ro,nosuid,noauto,user :/dev/sm /dev/cf and /dev/sm are symlinks to /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1. The media cards automount all right, but the protections on the directories created by autofs is rwxr--r--, which means I cannot cd into or list the files in subdirectories on the media unless I become root, which is not ideal. And that's the problem. I don't have this problem with automounted cd's or dvd's - the protection mask for those is rwxr-xr-x, so all works fine. Is there something I should have done in the auto.mount file? Is this something about the way the cf and sm cards work (they are formatted in a digital camera, so I don't really have any control over how various bits are set in the filesystem. Any thoughts/help appreciated. I don't use automount but to get proper permissions for my vfat fs's i use this type or entry in fstab /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win98 vfatdefaults,gid=6,umask=002 then as long as I am in group 6 ( disk on my box ) I have read access...

I invite you to try a free sample of Debian, if it meets your specifications you may keep it with no charge. Visit: http://debian-cd.rutgers.edu/images/i386/ Generally a complete install entails the first three CD's, but can be accomplished with only the first if you wish. This is only one of the many ways to acquire Debian. You can always visit http://www.debian.org for more information.
