Apache's mod_userdir resets global per-user permissions, when redefined in VirtualHost
Hi. I notice, that if i define either path or per-user permission (enabled/disabled) in VirtualHost directive, than all per-user permissions from main server config are reset to global permission (all-enabled or all-disabled). Particularly, this means, that if in mods-enabled/userdir.conf i have following .. UserDit /home/Public/*/www UserDir enabled UserDir disabled root and then redefine path in VirtualHost VirtualHost *:80 .. UserDit /home/Public/*/www/wiki VirtualHost/ or enable some additional user VirtualHost *:80 .. UserDit enabled user1 VirtualHost/ this _enables_ mod_userdir for root. Thus, in first case /home/Public/root/www/wiki and in the second case /home/Public/root/www will be served to the user by Apache. Is this correct behavior or i should file a bug?

It's possible. I've done it with aptitude by looking up each package
from the list generated by the command below and selecting the Debian
version instead of the deb-multimedia version.
aptitude search ~S~i~Omultimedia
With apt-get you would have to build up a big command line like
apt-get install package1/version1 package2/versions ...
because there are lots of interdependencies which would get in the way.
You can find packages from deb-multimedia without aptitude as well.
Like so
$ dpkg-query -Wf '${Package}\n' \
| xargs -d'\n' sh -euf -c '
apt-cache showpkg $@ \
| sed -ne
s/^Package: //p;
/^Versions:/,/^Reverse Depends:/{

I tried this on a wheezy installation, and it failed, so I tried
sending it to a 'dpkg.txt' and I got a null output on it although I
know that I do have some files from that repository. I'd like to know
how to get it working on wheezy please?
Ok. First, i'll explain what it does, and may be this will help you to
fix it,
because this command relies on names and output formatting and is not very
reliable, to be honest. I'll get list of all packages, like
$ dpkg-query -Wf '${Package}\n' | head -n3
ace-gperf
acl
acpi
then i execute short script. Though, script is executed for as many
arguments
as possible, this is just for performance reasons. I use `apt-cache
showpkg`,
because it displays version with path to corresponding repository
(repository
'Packages' file in fact, cached in /var/lib/apt/lists) and, if package is
installed (see note [1]), path to dpkg status file (/var/lib/dpkg/status).
Let's see how it looks:
# apt-cache showpkg hello
Package: hello
Versions:
2.8-2

2.6-1
(/var/lib/apt/lists/shilvana.local:3142_debian_dists_squeeze_main_binary-i386_Packages)
(/var/lib/dpkg/status)
as you may see, they have the form:
^version (path) (path)
Now to choose only installed packages, i should check, that one of package's
version lines contain (/var/lib/dpkg/status). And to determine from what
repository package came from, i should check other path entries. Let's
try it
with sed:
apt-cache showpkg hello \
| sed -ne
s/^Package: //p;
/^Versions:/,/^Reverse Depends:/{
\_^[^[:space:]].*(/var/lib/dpkg/status)_p;
};
I print package name, then for range starting at /^Versions:/ and ending at
/^Reverse Depends:/ i choose lines, which start not with [:space:] and
contain
(/var/lib/dpkg/status). Result will look like:
hello

Not recommended by grub, but it works. So each system-specific grub would. presumably, boot just that system. And what would the MBR grub do? Chainload a boot-time choice the others? Yes. So, the MBR grub must have separate config, which is maintained (i guess) by hand, and have menuentries, which chainload other grubs. In other words, this MBR grub's config hardcodes pathes to system-specific grubs. So, if something change in the partition layout (e.g. you install yet another linux distribution), you need to manually update MBR grub's config. Am i right? If so, what is difference with loading another config (`configfile`) instead of chainloading (`chainloader`) another grub? Well, i do not mean the difference, that in your case each grub will have all modules in its own grubdir, whereas in my case there is only one grubdir for all OSes, but many configs. I mean what is the difference in using this scheme? Has it some considerable advantages? E.g. is it much simpler? Or what? But, anyway, answering to the above question has sense only, if it is possible to install such scheme, but i can't do it. dpkg-reconfigure either does not ask where to install, or grub-install refuses to do so. I don't know how dpkg-reconfigure works (and don't want to know), but if i use grub-install from cmd it refuses to install into partition as well. I think, this is because grub have already been installed into mbr. And this is expected behavior, though, as noted in [1]: At least on BIOS systems, if you tell grub-install to install GRUB to a partition but GRUB has already been installed in the master boot record, then the GRUB installation in the partition will be ignored. May be i miss some option, but to be honest i do neither try hard to figure out why it refuses, nor i try to look into sources. Well, probably just because scheme with different configs works fine for me.

Useless entries in grub.cfg (with non-matched kernel and root, e.g. kernel from stable and root from testing) or probably even no correct one - is normal for 30_os-prober and 10_linux scripts. I don't think, that there is a simply way to fix them. Though, here is quote from [1] about making grub2 able to boot two OSes without useless entries: __QUOTE__ I'll use following terms: - grubdir is directory, where all grub modules and other stuff have installed by grub-install. It is usually /boot/grub, but may be set to 'DIR/grub' using '--boot-directory DIR' option of grub-install. Here suggested two schemes for booting several Linux systems with grub2. They are designed to satisfy following requirments: - update-grub should work in all Linux systems and does not break anything. - No incorrect and useless menuentries, which often generated by /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober script. - New linux system should not ruin boot, if update-grub will accidently run on it with default config. - OS kernel and initrd should be stored on corresponding OS root partition. This is OS-dependent data and i don't want to store it in shared location (like shared boot partition). Also, if OS will be moved to some other computer, kernel and initrd will still be there. Generally, there is two approaches to this problem: - One main config (grub.cfg), which have created and updated by hand (or some other method, but not by update-grub), and many OS-specific configs, which have generated and updated by update-grub from corresponding OS. Main config should find and load OS-specific ones. - One merged config. Merge should occur during generation or update by update-grub from any OS. Because each OS may run update-grub, second approach requires each OS to have specific merge script in the /etc/grub.d, and if it is not there (for newly installed OS), update-grub will overwrite grub.cfg making all other systems unbootable. Hence, i'm not considering second approach further, and choosing first one. Main grub config should be stored on the shared boot partition, but OS-specific ones may be stored on either shared boot partititon as well or on OS root partition. I can't definitely say, that OS-specific grub config belongs to OS or to grub. On the one hand, OS-specific config is generated using OS-specific scripts from /etc/grub.d, and, hence, belongs to OS. But, on the other hand, grub-mkconfig and scripts from /etc/grub.d may read files from grubdir and make some choices depending on their content (and they actually will), hence, OS-specific config depends on particular grub installation and belongs to grub. In other words, OS-specific grub.cfg depends on both OS configuration and bootloader features available. __END_QUOTE__ Note, that suggested above approach requires one edited by hand grub,cfg along with automatically generated others.

On 09/15/12 18:23, lee wrote: Can't we have a boot manager which is independent of the installed OSs? Grub kinda does its own thing already, and if there was something like a standardised API through which OSs could tell the boot manager how they are to be booted, we would install the boot manager as the first thing and only once. Then we could install as many OSs (or at least Linux versions that comply with the standard) as we like, each of them telling the boot manager how to boot them. You wouldn't have the problem you have now anymore. All of this can be implemented with grub (grub2 at least). And one of the approaches, is to have (main) grub config, which loads OS-specific ones. The main grub config should only know where to find OS-specific ones and should _not_ be updated by update-grub from any OS. The os-specific ones, on the other hand, should be updated by update-grub from corresponding OS. The main config must be updated either manually, or by some other method (using standardized API, as you said). Anyway, this is exactly what described in article i mention earlier. And may be it's a bit complicated, but it works. What if you install a tiny minimal Linux version only to get grub installed and exclusively use that version of grub for booting? The Debian installer and the package management would have to be fine without installing or updating grub, and you would have to boot into your minimal version to update grub from there. Is that possible? Grub from this minimal linux should somehow figure out which OS root corresponds to which kernel, or where to find /boot corresponding to some OS. Default grub2 scripts can't do this (at the time, when i have checked). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

But who actually creates links: insserv or update-rc.d ? And who actually calculates dependencies? And what does update-rc.d really reads from LSB header: only default runlevels or all fields or nothing (all reads insserv)? Unfortunately, i don't know perl to read update-rc.d sources. Anyway, it seems, that following pairs # insserv script and # update-rc.d script defaults and # insserv -r script and # update-rc.d script remove do exactly the same thing and i didn't notice this for the first time. RAID-Server:/etc/init.d# update-rc.d usage: update-rc.d [-n] [-f] basename remove update-rc.d [-n] basename defaults [NN | SS KK] update-rc.d [-n] basename start|stop NN runlvl [runlvl] [...] . update-rc.d [-n] basename disable|enable [S|2|3|4|5] -n: not really -f: force From the man page: NAME update-rc.d - install and remove System-V style init script links When run with either the defaults, start, or stop options, update-rc.d makes links /etc/rcrunlevel.d/[SK]NNname that point to the script /etc/init.d/name. This is insserv duty to install init script links. Try reinstall init script with insserv: frist - remove, and then install again. # insserv -r init_script_name # inssert init_script_name It would be a lot easier just to create the link by hand. As Arno pointed out, however, there's really very little or no operational impact to the kill script for runlevel S being missing. Then, what's the purpose of having S in 'Default-Stop' ? In /usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/README.runlevels.gz written, that switching to single user is done by switching to runlevel 1, so it's runlevel 1, who should have K script, but not runlevel S. Well, if i understand correctly, Reading through the man page again, I can across this, however: If defaults is used then update-rc.d will make links to start the service in runlevels 2345 and to stop the service in runlevels 016. So that's why it didn't create the runlevel S script. This behavior is the legacy behavior, mandated by the existence of a file named .legacy- bootordering. Sure enough, the file is there. Legacy behavior is to create K scripts at runlevel S ? I may be wrong, as usual, but as i understand runlevel S is not legacy, it is just runlevel not to be switched to directly and its scripts runs only once at system boot, and never again at any runlevel switches (hence, it does not need any K scripts and should not be in Default-Stop). As i understand update-rc.d manpage, .legacy-bootordering simply disables dependency resolution according to LSB header and, hence, assigns to script specified on cmd number (for SXX/KXX) instead of calculated one. And the same for runlevels, but it does not obsolete in any way runlevel S. 2011/11/24 lrhorer lrho...@satx.rr.com: Dmitriy Matrosov wrote: 2011/11/24 Arno Schuring aelschur...@hotmail.com: lrhorer (lrho...@satx.rr.com on 2011-11-24 03:38 -0600): [..] It seems, that 'insserv -d' also reorders other init scripts (though i don't understand why) Um, because it is supposed to? I mean, the whole point of dependency based booting is to make sure the proper services are all available when they need to be, and the mechanism of that is the ordering of the scripts.

I'm running 5.9.6-2, and haven't figured out how to run it as a system wide daemon yet, so I'm still doing the fetchmail -d 300 when I log in. Anyway, for some reason it stopped retrieving mail. I killed the process and tried running it with the -vvv options to see what I could see. Well, it would see a bunch of messages (around 220) and crap out when it started to retrieve them. I wish I had saved the output, but I didn't (sorry). I did a little looking around in the archives and found a reference to an issue with it when retrieving a lot of messages. I use my Yahoo mail account for the list so I just logged in via http and deleted a bunch of the list messages. I then tried running fetchmail again, and it worked like a champ, grabbing the 5 messages with ease. My question is...anyone else experiencing this and know how to address it? I have the same problem w/ my Yahoo account. On a retreival of a certain message server drops connection. You have to go into webmail account (which may be inaccesible for around 10 mins or so after attempt), and move all messages to a different folder. Then go through all of them until u see a You browser sent a malformed request to the server. Delete move that message. All the messages you could read through web interface are safe to move back into Inbox and receive with fetchmail. After a while problematic message gets accesible again. I have no Idea what is causing this a effect, by message from certain people on the list seem to become problematic more often then others.

Re: 2.4.16 kernel crashed
I have been using 2.4.16 since it came out and hadn't had a single problem. On the other hand xscreensaver and xlock has always been trouble. A crashed GL application sometimes will leave your video card in such a mess that even kiling X right from under it will not reinitialize it. Generally this would noy affect ability to remotely connect unless the GL application didn't crash but instead is hogging system resources. I haven't seen this happen with xscreensaver, but xlock had done similar things to me a few times. So, I don't really believe that this is related to kernel version, although since DRI support has been rewritten in 2.4 series, that might cause some trouble.

Re: Games - A question
One of the main rules in computer security is that CLIENT SECURITY DOESNT WORK. I. e. if you have an untrusted client running your software there is always a way to circumvent any kind of security you put in place. You can make it increasingly difficult, but you can never make it secure. A couple of exzmples: When Diabolo came out the manufacturer claimed that they made the network play unhackable, since they used some encryption on the player files, secure protocol and what not. Cheaters started to appear after maybe a month or two after the release. I have once talked to a guy ( system programmer ) who was hired to break dongle based security on one of the 3D modeling software packets. The reasons were legitimate, the company that hired him, bought several hundred licenses, and aparently sooner or later the dongles got all mixed, so they needed any copy of the the software to run with any dongle or without a dongle. The guy told me things unimaginable such as physical defects on the CD to prevent copying, program files that are completely different on disk and in memory, complex routines that query the dongle etc. etc. etc. It took him about 6 months to figure it out, but he did. That is the point. You cannot secure something that is not under your full control.

AFAIK ssh2 package is non-free, and I always thought it was not OpenSSH. Furthermore, it is orphaned and will probably be dropped soon. OpenSSH in sid is version 2.9p2 . Maybe that is what you want? Again, either pinning or grab a source and build , or try pinning. I am using sid, and never tryed pinning, so I don't know if it can break anything. I'm trying not to cause myself a lot of problems later when I start updating packages..

Generic advice. 1. Get a set of small screw drivers, grounding strip and a set of small stickers, the kind you can write on. 2. Clear some large table space. 3. Put laptop on table space, ground yourself and start taking it apart. 4. Every part you take lable with a sticker and write a number on it, so that you are sure what order you took parts out in. Also if a part is affixed with screwes, put screwes together with the part itself ( like on top or right beside ). 5. When you see the battery - replace. 6. Reverse things you did in step 4.
