From time to time i can't mount floppies (as a regular user) because something (yast?? suseconfig??) is removing the suid bit from mount. Who is doing it and how can i stop him doing it? (i have security setting on secure and i would prefer to leave it that way) How can i allow remote users login to the server through X (xdm) but without starting xfree on the machine. I mean i want users to login through X remotely but not locally.

Set 'check permissions' to no in rc.config. l41484@alfa.ist.utl.pt wrote:

----- Original Message ----- From: <l41484@alfa.ist.utl.pt> | | From time to time i can't mount floppies (as a regular user) because | something (yast?? suseconfig??) is removing the suid bit from mount. Who is | doing it and how can i stop him doing it? (i have security setting on secure | and i would prefer to leave it that way) When SuSEconfig is run, by default it checks the permissions & ownership of various files listed in the files /etc/permissions*. If the permissions/ownership of any file are different from that file's listing in the relevant /etc/permissions* file(s), the the permissions/ownership of the file will be changed to whatever the listing in the relevant /etc/permissions* file(s) dictate(s). The actual /etc/permissions* file(s) that is/are used depends on your config; by default SuSEconfig uses both /etc/permissions.easy and /etc/permissions.local. If you would like SuSEconfig to do these permissions/ownership checks, you will need to change the line for /bin/mount (preferably in all of the /etc/permissions* files). The format of the /etc/permissions* files is simple; take a look at the comment at the top of /etc/permissions.local (PS -- these files are actually use by chkstat, a cute little perl script) If you do NOT want SuSEconfig to do these checks, set CHECK_PERMISSIONS to "no" in /etc/rc.config. | How can i allow remote users login to the server through X (xdm) but | without starting xfree on the machine. I mean i want users to login through | X remotely but not locally. Run xdm. The default SuSE xdm config (@ least in 6.2) is a little shaky but it will be sufficient to get you up and running. If you want to tweak the xdm configuration there will be a lot of man page reading. :) To start xdm, just type ``rcxdm start'' as root. Remote users can then connect to your box; if they are running Linux w/ XFree86, they can do something like ``Xwrapper -query your.xdm.box''. (If you have KDE installed you'll probably wind up running kdm when you do ``rcxdm start''; I don't use KDE so I can't help ya there.) | TIA. | Greetz, k /* ** Keith Warno ** Make Us An Offer, Inc. ** Real-Time Online Haggling ** http://www.HaggleWare.com/ */ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
suid bit was removed due to secured permissions settings (in YaST) Simply edit /etc/permissions.secure and change the following lines: /bin/mount 755 /bin/umount 755 to: /bin/mount 4755 /bin/umount 4755 then run SuSEConfig. l41484@alfa.ist.utl.pt wrote:
