I'm not sure where else to ask about this, so please excuse me if this is the wrong forum. In trying to remove a 'nodump' flag on a directory with the 'chflags' command I have noticed that the 'nonodump' flag does not function. I see an open PR for the problem: o [2003/01/09] i386/46912 johan chflags nonodump fails I was wondering when this might be dealt with? Else is there another way to remove the flag? Thanks in advance, Sean. Sean Pag...

Hi, I've changed rsync to support the BSD change file flags. However, this raises some compatibility problems, especially when including it with the -a option. If the remote host does not understand the new option for updating file flags, the user gets an error message about an unknown option. How should I handle this? If you'd like to look at the patch (and preferably integrate it with

hello, does somebody know how to circumvent that "extra file access restriction feature" introduced in osx some time ago ? i already tried adding rsync binary to programms with "full disk access" privilege ( system-prefs -> security & privacy -> privacy -> full disk access)? , since running as root is not sufficient - but it does not work. i want to make sure

``You do not want to overbuild your security or you will interfere with the detection side, and detection is one of the single most important aspects of any security mechanism. For example, it makes little sense to set the schg flag (see chflags(1)) on every system binary because while this may temporarily protect the binaries, it prevents an attacker who has broken in from making an easily detectable change that may result in your security mechanisms not detecting the attacker at all.'' Wouldn't it be better to detect /and/ p...

...vent that "extra file access restriction > feature" introduced in osx some time ago ? It may not be possible. Based on experience with FreeBSD, from which much of OSX is derived, I suspect you may be running into issues with "file flags"; check the OSX documentation for the chflags system call. In FreeBSD, I've seen that same error message when rsync attempts an operation that would violate chflags restrictions. > i already tried adding rsync binary to programms with "full disk access" > privilege ( system-prefs -> security & privacy -> privacy...

Hello, What do you recommend for keeping track of user activities? For preserving bash histories I followed these recommendations: http://www.defcon1.org/secure-command.html They include using 'chflags sappnd .bash_history', enabling process accounting, and the like. My goal is to "watch the watchers," i.e. watch for abuse of power by SOC people with the ability to view traffic captured by sniffers. I plan to use sudo to limit and audit user activities too. I may also try some...

I'm currently administering a machine about 1500mi from me with nobody local to the machine to assist me. Anyways, my only access to this machine is via SSH, no remote serial console or anything. When I try to do a "make installworld" I end up with install: rename: /lib/INS@aTxk to /lib/libcrypt.so.3: Operation not permitted very shortly thereafter. I cannot boot

Hi, I am looking for some R code, which will delete all files in a Folder that contains both Locked and Unlocked files. There are many, therefore i would like to delete all files programmatically in one go. I used following code : ## "SS" is the Folder name including entire path which contains Locked and Unlocked files. file.remove(file.path(ss, list.files(ss))) [1] FALSE Warning

Hi folks, I have a samba file server joining a Windows 2k AD as member server. I wonder how I can setup the files on the samba share to be modifiable by users, but no one can delete them. Is it possible? linux chattr command doesn't seems to help, and I can only setup windows share permission (full control, read,write) for the samba files from windows interface, not NTFS detailed permissions.

...vn or some such thing...I suspect unicode problem? Searching on svn user list I found a msg about a similar problem where some one suggested using sudo fs_usage -w | grep svn in one terminal and then doing the commit from another. However I didn''t find any chfags (I am still not sure what chflags are) set by svn. I appreciate any help on this. TIA, bakki

I've searched the archive for references to FreeBSD's file flags and rsync but only found one reference to it dated back in 2002. It refers to a --flags patch that I don't see available anywhere: http://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg03878.html Is there a patch for preserving FreeBSD's flags like schg? (i.e. immutable) My current configuration: Two FreeBSD 4.11
