Write permission on remote machine

2004-11-09 Thread Bill Flanagan
Trying to back  up one Linspire 4.5 machine to another, installed Konserve and 
configured for an smb connection to reach the backup directory.  Konserve fails 
for lack of write permission on the remote machine.

Checking:
--remote machine has the directory set to share, with write permission for user 
and group, no password required.
--local machine (where Konserve runs) shows that BU directory in Network 
Browser (the Samba shares), but right-click/properties/permissions shows that 
the local machine does not have write permission on that directory.  Attempts to 
change permission locally fail for lack of permission (catch 22?)
--have configured both machines for same user name (root) with same password, 
and put that into the dialog about client authentication of remote sessions 
(part of control-panel/network/network-file-sharing).

Does putting a name and p/w into local client authentication conflict with a 
remote directory having no p/w requirement?

Any pointers on things to look at?
Thanks,
Bill

 Telnet client negotiates nothing.  Text you type is sent,

 replaced by "\r\n".  Text that is received is just
displayed as-is.

 As an experiment to find out how hard it would be for you
to determine this

in 121 seconds by
 running strace(1) on telnet.
 I tried using ltrace(1) to determine the same information,
but after 149
 seconds I realised that it was not the right tool and
would not be able to
 provide me with the information.  Ltrace displays the
values of pointers
 instead of the data it referrs to.  I could have used "-S"
which might have
 been more useful, but there's no point when strace(1) is
available.

 Then I decided to solve it properly.  Firstly I read
rfc854 and rfc855 (the
 base RFCs on TELNET) which didn't clarify this issue.
Then I put a telnet
 daemon on port 23 and straced a telnet connection to it.
The telnet client
 started with sending a sequence of NVT protocol commands
to it which were
 responded to.  Then I put the telnet daemon on port 1000
and repeated the
 test, this time the telnet client didn't start sending any
NVT commands until
 after it had received some (the server had shown itself to
be a NVT protocol
 server not a web server or whatever else I may have chosen
to run on that
 port).  NVT is totally bi-directional so it could run
either way.  This took
 me 821 seconds.

 Chris, most people here would not be able to do what I
just did.  However I
 believe that you are able to do everything I did (although
it may have taken
 you a bit longer).  I think that you should be answering
questions of that
 nature not asking them.

 I often see questions that I don't know the answer to, and
research them for
 the benefit of the person who asked and everyone else on
the list.  It is a
 great way to learn about things if you've got some spare
time.  This is why I
 think that you should have researched and answered if
someone else had asked

 Try this:

 apt-get -f -o APT::Force-LoopBreak dist-upgrade

 If that doesn't work, try without the -f.  If you have no luck at all, you
 may have to log in as root (i'd recommend not using su, sudo, etc.) and do
 the following first:

 dpkg --force-depends -r libpam0g

 The dpkg and apt packages do not depend on this library, so there should
be
 no problem with removing it long enough to get your system upgraded.  Of
 course, any running services might not work very well. :)

 Thanks,
 Shawn

It's a circular pre-depends.  I'm appending my previous email on the
subject.  I've seen a few posts that say my method works, but I still
don't guarantee it :)

 However, I'd like to update the installation to at least frozen, and
 probably to unstable -- and that's where the problem comes in. After doing
 the base install, I add the frozen line to sources.list, do `apt-get
 update` -- all of which works as expected.

 Any attempt to install pretty much anything after that won't work, because
 of some problem between debianutils and libc6. It looks to me like they're
  mutually pre-dependent, or something. Here's the error output from
 `apt-get install libc6`:

I was able to get around this, but I DO NOT recommend that anyone use
my method!!  If you do, don't tell me about how screwed up your system
got.

Ok, it appears that libc6 predepends on a version of debianutils that
provides readlink.  debianutils predepends on a version of libc6 =
2.1 ... catch-22.  However, a *brief* glance at the libc6 pre-inst
indicates that readlink is being used to preserve time zone
configuration info.

I decided that breaking time zones was not a big deal.  Of course,
this particular machine is not mission critical, so I must stress
again that this worked for me, it probably won't work for you.  if it
does, cool.  If not, you've been warned twice :)

I created a file /usr/bin/readlink with the following contents:

  #! /bin/sh
  true

I then installed libc6 using a --force-depends (this is your third
warning!  This is not a good idea!)  I found the libc6 deb in
/var/cache/apt/archives, so I cd over there and type

  dpkg --force-depends -i libc6_2.1.3-4_i386.deb

Directly afterwards I ran apt-get:

  apt-get -f install

Luckily, everything still worked, and I was able to proceed to
`apt-get upgrade', etc.

I'm fairly insane so the above is FYI :)

Luck,

 Bill;

 I had this awhile ago and if I recall correctly an apt-get -f install did
 the trick. Although it may have been more than just that. Maybe I used the
 dist-upgrade again, can't remember.

 I would suggest running:

 apt-get update

 apt-get -f install

 Maybe someone else can give better detailed advice, but I do know I got it
 fixed somehow and didn't have to reget all the archives.

 Tom
