  keep fedora up to date using apt
Posted by: anyweb - 2005-03-27, 11:06 PM - Forum: Fedora - No Replies


if you want to automate fedora keeping up to date, and you use apt (as in apt-get)

 

then try this (as root)

 



Code:
vi /etc/cron.daily/apt.sh




 

 

then paste the following into the blank file

 



Code:
#!/bin/sh
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y




 

now save the file and make it executable

 



Code:
chmod +x apt.sh




 

to test it try doing this

 



Code:
sh /etc/cron.daily/apt.sh




 

and you'll see something like the following:

  My fluxbox desktop on gentoo
Posted by: andreas - 2005-03-26, 10:55 PM - Forum: Linux - Replies (3)


bah. The fluxbox and (xmms) theme is called LDC, [get]. I'm using the really nice artwiz font called snap, and the thing in the upper left is torsmo [get], with a custom, gentoo-colored interface. If you want the config-file for it, ask me. The wallpaper is called 'Chronicles Of Time', made by dilekt @ deviantart, [here], his wallpapers are awesome, you should check them out. (I don't have to tell you that those terminals are aterm's.)

  PAM Problems
Posted by: xDamox - 2005-03-25, 05:10 PM - Forum: Remote Access - Replies (6)


Hi,

 

I was wanting to setup SSH so that users SSHing into my machine would be in a chroot. well

I notice PAM supports this feature so heres what I did:

 

first I added a user to the machine called test I issued the following command:

 



Code:
system-config-users




 

Once I added my user I when to the /etc/security/chroot.conf and added the following:

 



Code:
test /home/test




 

Once that was done I when to /etc/pam.d and edited the SSHD file and added the following:

 



Code:
session    required      pam_chroot.so




 

Now that I did that I edited sshd_config to use pam and also set UsePrivilegeSeparation value

to no. now that was done I did:

 



Code:
service sshd restart




 

and when I did ssh -l test localhost I logged into test and was able to cd /

 

the security logs show the following info:

 



Code:
Mar 25 15:56:07 localhost sshd[6432]: Failed gssapi-with-mic for test from ::ffff:127.0.0.1 port 33182 ssh2
Mar 25 15:56:07 localhost sshd[6432]: Failed gssapi-with-mic for test from ::ffff:127.0.0.1 port 33182 ssh2
Mar 25 15:56:10 localhost sshd[6432]: Accepted password for test from ::ffff:127.0.0.1 port 33182 ssh2
Mar 25 15:56:10 localhost pam_chroot[6433]: /home/test is writable by non-root




 

any ideas?

  fedora problems
Posted by: ge5239 - 2005-03-24, 04:21 PM - Forum: Fedora - Replies (12)


yo yo yo ;)

first time user with linux, and already i got a bunch of problems, "looking good!".

 

first, installed fc3 three times now, first said it worked, but then i got "could not load os" when i tried to start.

 

second time it hung itself during installation

 

third time then, installation works, but then same "could not load os". then, mainly by accident, i booted up with my windows XP cd in the cd-reader. forgot the hit "any key" and look at that, fedora started!

 

fixed the settings, got my login, pass etc. fedora loading, typing in login + pass. and im in! it's loaded! so, then to my first problem:

mouse doesnt work! not sure if the usb is working, since the light on it is off, should be a nice blue light when mouse is online. tried to get myself somewhere with keyboard, but without success, really annoying! only keys that seems to be working is ctrl+alt+delete (log off / turn off), and print screen.

 

second problem is about the booting my fedora. after "veryfyin DMI Pool DATA", then a _, then nothing happends.. insert the win cd, and it works just fine, but then i cant even remove the cd when started, nothing happends, stone dead! reaction on cd is nada..

 

not that handy with computers, was just really annoyed after a virus in my windows so i've changed. ppl told me to use linux, that it wasnt that difficult, and then that they've never seen someone with so many problems in such short time..

 

some stuff i picked up during startup.

first the Veryifying DMI Pool Data, where it gets stuck if i dont have a cd in.

second, hmm, this is in swe, but "s

Hey everyone,

Just though I would send a post and try to get myself involved. I'm fairly new to the linux scene. I've had a long time interest but never seemed to have the time to get into it. I come from a 85% PC environment running mostly NT boxes witha few solaris, and maybe 1-2 Linux boxes. Now I'm in a 95% Mac environment and am learning how to administer a few linux boxes. Should be interesting. I'm working on configuring a FC3 box from scratch and sending up services like email, samba, DHCP, DNS and etc. Anywho looking forward to working with everyone!

Cheers!
