I am familiar with /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch and, in fact, modify it to inhibit removal of files from /tmp. In the past this has worked. Under F15 it has not. Two or three weeks ago I deleted it from /etc/cron.daily but older files _still_ get removed from /tmp. I've rebooted at least once. I'm not sure if it happens at bootup or while the system is running, but something is still removing files from /tmp. Does anyone know of another mechanism for this? I would check for the low-hanging fruit. Exactly the nature of your modifications to tmpwatch. Without knowing its history, its possible that its options have changed, and your custom changes no longer do the same thing they do before. Double-check the manpage. Especially since, I see, /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch is %config(noreplace), so if tmpwatch's options have changed, and aren't backwards compatible, and updating the tmpwatch package won't clobber the existing file, as a result the options you have in there may no longer work. Well, as I said in my OP, tmpwatch is no longer even involved. I removed it from /etc/cron.daily. So unless it's ghost is still there, I'm at loss to explain the behaviour. FYI, my mod to tmpwatch was merely to comment out the lines: #/usr/sbin/tmpwatch $flags -x /tmp/.X11-unix -x /tmp/.XIM-unix \ # -x /tmp/.font-unix -x /tmp/.ICE-unix -x /tmp/.Test-unix \ # -X '/tmp/hsperfdata_*' 10d /tmp When files continued to disappear, I moved tmpwatch out of /etc/cron.daily. Alas, they still do. Or, perhaps, gathering some more data would point to the likely culprit. If the files in your tmp get deleted after a consistent period of time, that would offer a clue. They seem to disappear after about 14 days. But it might be slightly more or less. Untouched files get removed. And directories containing untouched files get cleaned out leaving an empty dir behind. This is just But, sometimes, tilting at windmills is not very productive. /tmp's never meant to be used to archive anything. I wouldn't put anything in /tmp that I'll want to make sure it'll still be there, tomorrow, even if nothing supposed to get nuked from there for weeks. Might be easier to change one's habits. Something I've done for a decade w/o issues is hardly tilting at windmills. Be that as it may, I have become extremely curious as to what in F15 might be doing the deed. I'd create a folder in my home, or in my Desktop directory, for stuff that I haven't yet decided where it needs to go, permanently. Right now I'd simply like to understand why F15 (and I suppose F16) behaves this way. F13 and prior certainly didn't. I never ran F14.

Encrypting swap
I'm setting up a laptop with encrypted btrfs root. Problem is, I can't seem to find a way to encrypt the swap so that it would be usable for hibernation. * Simple setup for encrypting swap uses a random key generated on each boot, so resuming doesn't work. * Using the same key for swap root is not recommended because some tool caches the password, making the whole thing meaningless [1] * Using a swap file doesn't work because btrfs is Copy-On-Write, so the filesystem may get messed up by hibernate/resume process. I'm not sure if the same key problem exists in Fedora 16, I've tried setting it up this way and I'm able to boot but not resume. Any help appreciated!

[389-users] Solaris client, behavior differences?
Hi, My colleague and I are working on migrating from Sun One Directory Server to 389 Directory Server. We have successfully configured 389 Directory Server on Centos 5.7. We've been able to successfully setup Multi-Master Replication and have joined (or at least it appears to) a Solaris 10 Client. Here is a quick breakdown of what we're observing... Solaris 10 host, as a 389 Client... ... can perform ldapsearch (using both directory manager proxyagent bindDNs). It will return all entries (when using directory manager as the bindDN) or a limited amount (2000, when search using proxyagent bindDN), as specified by the configuration. ... using ldaplist requires an escaped wild card to list most of the DB, again I'm assuming it is inheriting the proxyagent limits. ... executing getent passwd or getent group returns ONLY the local users groups. Solaris 10 host, as a Sun One Client... ... using ldapsearch exhibits the same behavior. ... using ldaplist requires no wild card, we can simply execute ldaplist passwd and get, surprisingly, all entries in the DB. ... can execute getent passwd or getent group and see all LDAP users and groups. Is this normal or have we screwed up some config somewhere? We have yet to move on to tackling the PAM stack since we're trying to see if this config is viable. At the moment, as a local user on this 389 Client, we cannot su to another LDAP user. It just says sorry, /var/adm/messages just reads su : [auth.crit] 'su USER' failed for LOCAL USER on... We can su to another LDAP user as root w/o the need to specify a passwd, which I'm assuming is the only reason that works. My colleague is going to work on finding a viable PAM config. Any clues, leads, or references you can provide us for either anomalies would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time, --Raf -- Rafael A.

Since both nice and ionice are designed to run only a single command I'm not sure if the following would work: ionice -c3 nice -n19 process It looks like to me that ionice is going to run nice who's going to run the task. Another option is to ionice bash but by default the process is not started in a shell so I would have to script it: #!/bin/bash ionice -c3 $$ nice -n19 process --- end --- I tried examining the first example using pstree but I don't think the processes stacked.

Even when you use comma-separated addresses (allowed when not using
the '!' operator), iptables actually creates separate rules in
response to the command. I believe that's what you need to do in this
situation
in theory yes
but practically the reject of this rule would be triggered
a secuity auditor from a customer is whining the he no longer
can make security-scans and it will get hard to arue that
we can not whitelist him in this case :-(
Ah, wait a minute. If he cannot make security scans neither can
anybody else. So defacto his job is finished.
For any exception you place into the rules to allow him to scan you must
think VERY carefully what it's effects will be. You might accidentally
open up the internal network to him leading to a false positive detection
from his security scan.
You might sit down with him and work out a plan for what should be done
so he can do his job and you can have the recent rule still protecting
your network. Collaboration and education may be your best friend here.
He is, after all, really an ally even when taking on the mantle of an
adversary for security auditing. Besides, you might get the delight of
seeing the lights go on in another person's head when he grasps just what
it is you did which is keeping him, and all others who look like malicious
access attempts, out of your system. Lead him gently to the knowledge and
the results can be more than worth your time and effort.
