[Bug 40189] Re: autofs needs to be restarted to pick up some shares

2010-10-13 Thread Paul Omernik
I am noticing this in my Maverick installations, and am now seeing it in
some of my 10.04.1 installations as well.  I did not have this issue
with 10.04 or previous, though I was (am) affected by the boot priority
of NIS bug (569757), which affects auto mounts.

It seems that Hans' post #25 has alleviated the issue for me on one
Maverick system; I've yet to upgrade/triage further Lucid/Maverick
systems.

[Bug 623294] Re: /etc/init.d/x11-common's chmod 1777 fails to clear setuid and setgid

2010-09-04 Thread Paul Omernik
Ralph, It seems that some 10.04 installs have a root account in
/etc/group and some don't.  I have checked about half a dozen machines
and there is no obvious rhyme or reason between which have root in
/etc/group and which don't.  There are two that were clean-installed to
10.04 back in April which do not have root in /etc/group, while one
machine that I clean installed yesterday does have a root in /etc/group.

Either way, inclusion of root in /etc/group (or changing to a numerical
group zero in /etc/init.d/x11-common) both seem to fix this issue.

[Bug 623294] Re: /etc/init.d/x11-common's chmod 1777 fails to clear setuid and setgid

2010-09-03 Thread Paul Omernik
I had this problem and resolved the issue by editing /etc/group to
include a

root:x:0:

line.

What was happening was that the line

chown root:root $SOCKET_DIR

which is responsible for the ownership of /tmp/.X11-unix in
/etc/init.d/x11-common was calling the root group, which is not created
when enabling the root user.  Including a root group in /etc/group fixes
this issue.

The issue can also be addressed by changing the root group to a zero (0)
placeholder: root:0, but this seems like the poorer of two options.
