[opensuse] Setting up sftp for users (suse 11.0)
by James D. Parra 23 Dec '09

23 Dec '09

Hello, I currently have vsftp running with ftp users who are chrooted into their home dir's and not given a shell; /bin/false. Having difficulty setting up sftp access for one user and wondering if anyone has any instructions. When using sftp, I'd want the user to be chrooted into their home account and not be able to execute anything but ftp commands. Any suggestions? Many thanks, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

But I think it is in the documentation section of the installable packages in yast, I think. I have the custom of looking there to see what is available. On old versions there were some interesting books, even some in Spanish. >> . Or else, >> look it up in google, it is also online, html and/or pdf.

Yes, it went out when Novell went in, more or less. It is a sad loss to me, the books were really good.

Ah. As I have all of them installed, it is a simple matter of listing the directory. Let me see... cer@nimrodel:~> ls /usr/share/doc/manual/ apparmor-admin_en opensuse-gnomequick_en opensuse-kdequick_en opensuse-manual_en opensuse-manual_en-pdf Mmm... ¿reference? Now, which would that be... :-? Ah, yes, look: cer@nimrodel:~> ls /usr/share/doc/manual/opensuse-manual_en-pdf APPARMOR-admin_en.pdf opensuse-gnomequick_en.pdf opensuse-kdequick_en.pdf opensuse-reference_en.pdf opensuse-startup_en.pdf It is inside the "opensuse-manual_en-pdf" directory, and probably the html version is in opensuse-manual_en, too. Yes, it is: /usr/share/doc/manual/opensuse-manual_en/manual/book.opensuse.reference.html Found! By the way. Time ago, apache came with a sample configuration that, amongst other things, had links to the documentation in the default page for the "server". There also was "search" (via "dig") available on all docs, man pages, howtos, etc. It was handy. This setup has, I think, dissapeared. - -- Saludos Carlos E.

[opensuse] zypper ps The following running processes use deleted files:
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 23 Dec '09

23 Dec '09

After my last zypper update I got the message that several running processes were using deleted files. Among others skype, xawtv and others used by me as user. I have always wondered if it would not make sense to stop using all programs before updating with e.g. Yast but never saw anything in this direction. Now it seems reality that active programs are running with deleted files. Did Yast have an own solution or is it zypper specific? Could one see the same info with Yast and which Yast specific command should be used? After leaving KDE with Ctrl Alt Backspace and logging in again I ran zypper ps again and found that all programs used by user were okay again but three PID belonging to root were still there. before I start killing PID from files who are anyhow deleted I would like to know what would be the recommended way to solve the case of deleted files. zypper ps The following running processes use deleted files: PID | PPID | UID | Login | Command | Service | Files ------+------+-----+-------+---------+---------+--------------------------- 1090 1 0 root kdm /usr/bin/kdm (deleted) /usr/bin/kdm (deleted) 3240 1 0 root polkitd /usr/share/mime/mime.cache | /usr/share/mime/mime.cache 30823 1090 0 root kdm /usr/bin/kdm (deleted) /usr/bin/kdm (deleted) You may wish to restart these processes.

[opensuse] does network-manager-vpnc work in 11.2?
by Nico Sabbi 23 Dec '09

23 Dec '09

Hi, I'd like to upgrade to 11.2, but I'd like to know if network-manager- vpnc works correctly in 11.2. In 11.1 it doesn't work at all: I can edit the settings but no connection is ever established (tried in both kde and gnome).
