[opensuse] Re: Wanna umask inhereted from parent directory
Fajar Priyanto wrote: Hi all, Most of the time I administer Redhat server. However, recently I spend more and more time exploring Opensuse. There's one thing that I don't get it yet regarding sgid and umask in Opensuse. In RH, when I create a directory say 'test', chmod it 3770. It will look like this: drwxrws--T 2 root sales 4096 2007-05-23 08:16 test Then, when I create a file inside the directory, it will have permission like this: -rw-rw-r-- 1 geecko sales 4 2007-05-23 09:14 filegeecko (notice the rw-rw-r--). I just tried this on both RedHat 3 4 and don't see this. I think it just has to do with whatever your umask is for the user 'geecko'. This can be set in a bunch of different places, and usually has a default value assigned in a few places, but can always be changed by the user. In your case, your umask is 002, while in other places, like the default umask for openSUSE, it is 022. You can see what the umask is via the 'umask' command. I do the same in Opensuse. But, the file created in the directory have the permission: -rw-r--r-- 1 geecko sales 4 2007-05-23 09:17 filegeecko (notice the rw-r--r--). This permission makes other user in sales group cannot edit geecko's file. User geecko has to specifically set the permission to 664 on the file. How do I achive the default umask inhereted from the parent directory? I read some suggestions from google to adjust the global default umask, but I think it's a bit risky, or is it the only way? This isn't possible under standard Linux usage. Files and the like don't inherit properties from directories, save in the special case you are doing here, which is setting the setguid bit on a directory, which means by default, files created are in the directory's group. You can set the default umask, but it can be overridden by a user. If you want user 'geecko' to create these group writable files, just change the umask in geecko's .bash_profile or .bashrc file: umask 0002 As mentioned, ACLs could probably fix this too, but those are necessarily enabled on every filesystem. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ UNIX is user-friendly.

If you don't want to do this, there is the possibility to use access control lists (ACLs); the default ACL determines the access right of newly created files. I don't know if the global umask setting is sufficient for you, so I stop here with the explanation; ask, if you need more info. But note: both methods don't support changing the access rights of files that are created elsewhere, e.g., in a personal directory, and moved to the shared directory. (That's because moving doesn't create a file, it just changes the directory entry. (Reality is even more complex, but hopefully you'll see what I mean.)) Hi Joachim, Do you know where I can set the umask globally in Suse? However, I don't think setting up the umask globally would be as safe as in RH, because Suse doesn't use the concept of UPG (user private group). So, if I set the umask globally, then it means every user can access those files and directory in the test directory. You can create private groups manually, when you create a user. However, I agree that the current SUSE configuration, where anyone can read personal folders is bizarre. It's beyond belief that SUSE would combine a common users group with such a default mask. Yes, you're right. The combination of a default umask of 022 and a generic user group of 'users' is pretty insecure.

That is definitely not right. Your source is the udp port only, and the
file /var/log/skot is not a Unix stream.
You definitely do not want to include the UDP source in the one that
comes in the .conf file, because you wish to have separate output. Make
your own source, it is much easier (you don't have to create any filters
this way):
1. remove the udp stuff from source src .
2. then add the following three into the .conf file:
source my_src { udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port 514); };
(Note here that you can bind this to a specific device, if that device
will have a fixed IP.)
destination my_dest { file(/var/log/skot ); };

S O L V E D !
Thanks to all who participated especially Darryl - The answer was
staring me in the face all the time. At the very top of the file gives
the clue
All that is required is simply
source src {internal(); udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514)); };
This line is present in PC IP that receives the data and without a
destination will default to the system log messages
Open KSystem Log - Default log is the system or messages file - The data
is all present and changes before my eyes.

However, the Installation Source section consistently refuses to allow me to add a new a new catalogue. I have tried numerous different servers and directories. I keep getting the same message box: Unable to create installation source from URL path Details: Unknown source type for path Try again? where path is filed out with the latest server and directory attempt.

After you add the entries to your .Xmodmap file in your home directory, and run xmodmap .Xmodmap, then test your keysym entries by running the xev experiment again... this time you should see the keycode and the keysym binding. You are now ready to have KDE do something with the keysym bindings. You do this within the Control Center using the following directions: Pull up the appropriate control center panel with : SUSE === Control Center === Regional Accessibility === Hotkeys 1) Create an action group name based on your keyboard... mine is a Dynex internet keyboard... so I just called my new group Dynex. 2) Create an action subgroup under that for Firefox (you can have many groups and subgroups, like one for Thunderbird) 3) Under Firefox create a K-menu Entry simple a) call it search(no quotes) (it will be used to start firefox) b) click keyboard shortcut... and press the button on your keyboard for starting firefox... the keysym bound for that button will fill in the shortcut box... we're almost done c) click menu entry (it will contain the program name) and enter firefox (no quotes) in the field d) click Apply 4) [ let's do another one for the forward button ] 4) Under Firefox group create a Keyboard Shortcut Keyboard Input simple a) call it page forward (no quotes) b) click keyboard shortcut and press the forward multimedia key on your keyboard to fill in the shortcut keysym binding c) click keyboard Input Settings and make the keyboard input Alt+Right and send input to active window d) click Apply Simply repeat these instructions for as many keys as you want to define all 19 keys on my Dynex are configured to do something... keep in mind that these bindings only work while kde is up and running... for instance, I have a key that ejects my cdrom (and also closes it) from the keyboard... but I cannot use that button to open the cdrom door from my black screen consoles... nor does it work in run level 3. Of course the keyboard can be mapped for run level 3 also... but that is another story. Also, the keyboard shortcuts for the apps you are configuring must be known to you... for instance you must know that Alt+Right is the page forward in Firefox. The first few of these you dink around with will be a little confusing, but after you do a couple you'll have the whole keyboard mapped in no time. Caveat: If you're using gnome, consider using KDE just kidding... there is probably a way to do this same thing in gnome... but I don't have a clue how because...

Re: [opensuse] Re: KDE question?
On Tuesday 22 May 2007, BandiPat said: Actually, I think you'll find that SuSE's KDE has been touched quite a bit by the SuSE developers. There are lots of differences, some noticeable, others not so, but several changes. Just take a look at another distro using KDE that uses the standard packages from kde.org and you should immediately see some differences. Also, take a look at SuSE's src.rpms to see what patches, etc. they do. Lee is right - we patch the kde.org tarballs extensively. SUSE does after all have more KDE developers than any other distro, AFAIK, and it would be a shame for us to have to play frozen-bubble all day. Some reasons for these changes are: *) adding changes from SVN branch since the kde.org release *) making our bugfixes available before the next kde.org release *) adding our features from before next kde.org release *) adding our branding *) adding features that aren't accepted upstream yet due to feature freezes, eg. the Kickoff menu, Beagle integration, or Novell GroupWise support *) making distro dependent integration changes that are out of the KDE project's scope, e.g desktop startup time fixes or improving Gnome app help support in khelpcenter Most of these changes are below the waterline and just make for a better user experience. Stephan Binner used to keep tabs on all the distro patches with a list at http://ktown.kde.org/~binner/distributor-patches but it is somewhat out of date - we had to shut him up somehow ;). I count 172 patches vs today's kdelibs3 and kdebase3 3.5.7 packages. You can install the kde.org files without expecting problems, but your best bet would be to continue with the SuSE builds, if you are satisfied with their changes and additions. Usually SuSE is pretty good at keeping abreast of the latest versions, Can you think of any exceptions? :) but again, if you prefer to stay on the edge, KDE from kde.org won't kill ya! Too much that is. ;-) I'd contend that just due to the bug fixes and branch changes, SUSE rpms are more current than the kde.org tarballs.

Okay, just for everyone's knowledge, Vista has this annoying habit of asking if I want to save a password. On my sites, I have several with similar domains and differnt passwords.

John Perry The behaviour you describe is standard, and has been, on Linux, since X came in (early-mid 90s). The Alt-Fn statements you have seen refer to swapping between black consoles. So, from one black cosole, say Console 1, you can swap to any other, say Console 5, with Alt-F5. Of course, Alt-F7 will take you to the console which is running X. From an X console, however, to get to any other console you must use Ctrl-Alt-Fn. So Ctrl-Alt-F1 will take you to black console 1, for instance. The reason X is different is that, depending on the window manager, Alt-Fn will have some other function in X. This again is standard. Overall, nothing whatever to be concerned about!

John Perry The behaviour you describe is standard, and has been, on Linux, since X came in (early-mid 90s). The Alt-Fn statements you have seen refer to swapping between black consoles. So, from one black cosole, say Console 1, you can swap to any other, say Console 5, with Alt-F5. Of course, Alt-F7 will take you to the console which is running X. From an X console, however, to get to any other console you must use Ctrl-Alt-Fn. So Ctrl-Alt-F1 will take you to black console 1, for instance. The reason X is different is that, depending on the window manager, Alt-Fn will have some other function in X. This again is standard. And that's why it's easier to just get in the Ctrl-Alt-Fn mode, because that works from either a virtual terminal or X.

I read some suggestions from google to adjust the global default umask, but I think it's a bit risky, or is it the only way? Phil answered your question how to enable the RH behavior by setting the umask globally. If you don't want to do this, there is the possibility to use access control lists (ACLs); the default ACL determines the access right of newly created files. I don't know if the global umask setting is sufficient for you, so I stop here with the explanation; ask, if you need more info. perhaps I don't understand your problem, but could you not just put umask 002 (or whatever you desire) into .bashrc in the /home/geecko directory?

Changing the umask globally for all or even for one user may not be what the OP actually wants. I just wanted to add the hint that there are also the ability to use ACLs to control the access to shared directories.

Fajar Priyanto wrote: Do you know where I can set the umask globally in Suse? For all users: create /etc/profile.local with the umask command. For a group of users: Place it in their ~/.profile. However, I don't think setting up the umask globally would be as safe as in RH, because Suse doesn't use the concept of UPG (user private group). So, if I set the umask globally, then it means every user can access those files and directory in the test directory. Yes, that's right. This setting is only sensible if you don't use users as the group for these accounts, but a specific (different) group. You mean ACL as in extended ACL from setfacl? Yep. As an example, I use the following ACL setting on a SVN repository directory to ensure that www-data has always read access and group texcatal has write access, on newly created files in that directory tree: comedy:~ # getfacl /home/ctan/texcatalogue_svn getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: home/ctan/texcatalogue_svn # owner: ftpmaint # group: server user::rwx user:www-data:r-x group::r-x group:texcatal:rwx mask::rwx other::--- default:user::rwx default:user:www-data:r-x default:group::r-x default:group:texcatal:rwx default:mask::rwx default:other::--- (Btw, this is the SVN repository that drives the TeX-Catalogue, at http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/catalogue.html.) I think I can try create the UPG situation like in RH, but it means I have to remove all related users from the 'user' group. Not practical. Then ACL might be the way to go. Or, after some browsing on /etc/apparmor directory, I think it's possible to set the umask for the 'test' directory and files. Sorry, can't help with AppArmor; I don't use it.
