So you tell me that there might be criminals who pose as small Web site producers who use the work for B&B owners to produce something that attacks my Linux browser with flash plugin? Or who produce fake sites with B&B information and seed that information in tripadvisor and other rating sites so that people like me visit them? In my world, back-on-the-envelop risk analysis tells me that I can take that risk. There are much more important things to pay attention to, securitywise, IMHO.

[opensuse] How do I set group rw on an nfs4 share?
by lynn 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

When I create a file in an nfs4 share, I want it to be group rw. This is what I've tried so far: cat /etc/exports /home *(rw,no_root_squash,sec=none:sys:krb5:krb5i:krb5p,no_subtree_check,insecure) 1. Make a folder to share: hh3:/home/CACTUS # mkdir -m 770 dropbox hh3:/home/CACTUS # chown root:suseusers dropbox 2. Mount the share: hh3:/home/CACTUS # mount -t nfs4 hh3:/home /mnt 3. Look at the acls: nfs4_getfacl /mnt/CACTUS/dropbox A::OWNER@:rwaDxtTcCy A::GROUP@:rwaDxtcy A::EVERYONE@:tcy Set an acl so that members of suseusers have rw on the share: hh3:/home/CACTUS # nfs4_setfacl -a A:g:suseusers@hh3.site:RW /mnt/CACTUS/dropbox hh3:/home/CACTUS # nfs4_getfacl /mnt/CACTUS/dropbox/ A::OWNER@:rwaDxtTcCy A::GROUP@:rwaDxtcy A:g:suseusers@hh3.site:rwaDtcy A::EVERYONE@:tcy 4. Back in the unmounted directory, the acl + has appeared: hh3:/home/CACTUS # ls -la dropbox/ total 8 drwxrwx---+ 2 root suseusers 4096 Feb 19 10:55 . drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Feb 19 10:55 .. 5. On the mounted share, the acl + is not visible. steve6 can create a file but it is _not_ group rw: steve6@hh3:~> cd /mnt/CACTUS/dropbox/ steve6@hh3:/mnt/CACTUS/dropbox> touch hola.txt steve6@hh3:/mnt/CACTUS/dropbox> ls -la total 8 drwxrwx--- 2 root suseusers 4096 Feb 19 11:02 . drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Feb 19 10:55 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 steve6 suseusers 0 Feb 19 11:02 hola.txt Steps 1-5 were repeated with chmod g+s on /home/CACTUS/dropbox with the same outcome. 6. Recreate the share but this time with a posix acl: setfacl -d -m g::rw /home/CACTUS/dropbox steve6@hh3:/home/CACTUS> touch dropbox/h steve6@hh3:/home/CACTUS> ls -la dropbox/ total 8 drwxrws---+ 2 root suseusers 4096 Feb 19 11:13 . drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Feb 19 11:11 .. -rw-rw---- 1 steve6 suseusers 0 Feb 19 11:13 h Now when steve6 creates a file it _is_ group rw. = posix acl is working. 7. Mount the new posix share and test again: hh3:/home/CACTUS #chmod g+s /home/CACTUS/dropbox hh3:/home/CACTUS # mount -t nfs4 hh3:/home /mnt hh3:/home/CACTUS # nfs4_getfacl /mnt/CACTUS/dropbox/ A::OWNER@:rwaDxtTcCy A::GROUP@:rwaDxtcy A::EVERYONE@:tcy A:fdi:OWNER@:rwaDxtTcCy A:fdi:GROUP@:rwaDtcy A:fdi:EVERYONE@:tcy steve6@hh3:/mnt/CACTUS/dropbox> touch h2 steve6@hh3:/mnt/CACTUS/dropbox> ls -la total 8 drwxrws--- 2 root suseusers 4096 Feb 19 11:19 . drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Feb 19 11:11 .. -rw-rw---- 1 steve6 suseusers 0 Feb 19 11:13 h -rw-r----- 1 steve6 suseusers 0 Feb 19 11:19 h2 hh3:/home/CACTUS # nfs4_getfacl /mnt/CACTUS/dropbox/ A::OWNER@:rwaDxtTcCy A::GROUP@:rwaDxtcy A::EVERYONE@:tcy A:fdi:OWNER@:rwaDxtTcCy A:fdi:GROUP@:rwaDtcy A:fdi:EVERYONE@:tcy hh3:/home/CACTUS # nfs4_setfacl -a A:fdi:GROUP@:RWX /mnt/CACTUS/dropbox hh3:/home/CACTUS # nfs4_getfacl /mnt/CACTUS/dropbox/ A::OWNER@:rwaDxtTcCy A::GROUP@:rwaDxtcy A::EVERYONE@:tcy A:fdi:OWNER@:rwaDxtTcCy A:fdi:GROUP@:rwaDxtcy A:fdi:EVERYONE@:tcy steve6@hh3:/mnt/CACTUS/dropbox> touch h3 steve6@hh3:/mnt/CACTUS/dropbox> ls -la total 8 drwxrws--- 2 root suseusers 4096 Feb 19 11:21 . drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Feb 19 11:11 .. -rw-rw---- 1 steve6 suseusers 0 Feb 19 11:13 h -rw-r----- 1 steve6 suseusers 0 Feb 19 11:19 h2 -rw-r----- 1 steve6 suseusers 0 Feb 19 11:21 h3 Still no group rw on created files. = nfs4 acl is not working as expected. Workaround. Round peg, square hole: #!/bin/sh while true; do $(chmod -R g+w /home/CACTUS/dropbox); sleep 2; done Question: What am I missing? How do I set files created on an nfs4 share to take group rw? Thanks, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] configuring inn for mailing list gateway
by jdd 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

Hello :-) I try to configure inn and mailman as gateway for only one mailing list :-( I have mailman running and from there it seems easy to feed the news server (not yet tried) I now try to install inn. Right now it seems to work. I can connect to the server with thunderbird but I have a "Erreur avec les groupes (NNTP) : You have no permission to talk. Goodbye!" message On a first step I would like to open the group for anybody (on a second step, I would like to limit it to the mailing list subscribers, but I will see this later) I don't find the way on the inn faq port 119 is open and masqueraded from the gateway. I didn't have this error message before masquerading, so I beg it's inn that give it? there was an other server at the same URL before (dead), do this can give a problem? openSUSE 12.1 everywhere any help? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I don't know if I made clear that I want to create a news group, for the use of my lug. This group have to be freely accessed by anybody, but do not need to be feeded (but can be without problem if somebody wants) by the way here is the mode: /usr/lib/news/bin/ctlinnd mode Server running Allowing remote connections Parameters c 10 i 50 (0) l 5000000 o 1011 t 300 H 2 T 60 X 0 normal specified Not reserved Readers follow enabled Perl filtering enabled any link to a recent documentation should be appreciated thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

It's not that these sites want me, I want them. For example, many touristic sites (B&Bs, small hotels, restaurants) are flash only. I'm quite sure that they didn't choose that technology. Some small company came in, presented some shiny lively method to be "on the Web", and the owners purchased it. Prices are ridiculously small for such work, you won't get real designs that way. (This is a statement of fact, I often contract good communication designers.) How shall those owners know that it's bad technology that they choose? They are no technicians. Most of them don't even know to operate the Windows system properly. E.g., I have restaurants that send around their changing menus be email -- in Excel format... Those few restaurant owners that I talked about that couldn't even understand the problems. One of them asked me to change it and set up a new process. When she heard about our hourly consulting rates, she staid with the Excel solution... And if I'm planning a holiday or some trip, I want to know about the opportunities for eating, tasting wine, going out, and sleeping. And I won't let technical snobbiness get into the way of that information gathering.

[opensuse] boot installed system
by Istvan Gabor 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Hello: My mbr was overwritten by windows. I would like to boot an installed opensuse 12.1 and reinstall grub onto mbr. Earlier in such cases I could use the install DVD to boot an installed system (in repair installed system menu). The repair option has been removed from openSUSE 12.1 install DVD. (It seems I read about this somewhere that there was not enough resource to maintain it.) Is it possible to use the 12.1 DVD and load an installed system? How?

[opensuse] firefox won't show data on certain websites
by George Olson 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Howdy, I have certain websites that I frequently use, but for some reason firefox won't show the data on those sites. They work fine in google chrome, and sometimes in konqueror (although sometimes also it shuts it down). I would like to upload a copy of screen shots to the web and provide a link so people can see what I am talking about. What do people use to upload a screen shot? I can't remember the address.

[opensuse] KDE SFTP accessing local machine
by Swapnil Bhartiya 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Hi, I am trying to access local machine over WiFi in KDE using sftp:// but when I enter username password of the machine I want to access it says incorrect. I can very easily do that using Nautilus, is there any bug or am I missing something? Is there any tool similar to Nautilus' Connect to Server in KDE?
