similar to: would like more detail when /tmp directory is missing. patch for linux/syslinux.c

Under Aix directories have the mode 024xxxx instead of the customary 04xxxx. Because of this when you sync a directory to or from an Aix system it's never up to date. Here is a patch which fixes this. It causes rsync to look at only the bits that chmod actually influences, 07777, when deciding whether or not the modes differ. I was surprised there wasn't an existing constant for 07777,

Previously if you were root, and you tried to change directory into a directory which was not owned by you and not readable (eg. 0700 bin:bin), it would fail. This doesn't fail on regular directories because when you are root the kernel just ignores permissions. Although libguestfs in general tries not to duplicate kernel code, in the case where we emulate the FUSE access(2) system call,

Hi, while looking into Cygwin's tty code, I stumbled over this problem: Every time you log in to Cygwin via sshd, the pty's permissions are set like this: $ ls -l `tty` crw--w--w- 1 user group 136, 2 Aug 27 13:06 /dev/pty2 Since Cygwin sets the permissions more tight to begin with, I was wondering why the permissions are this open. Turns out, sshd sets them like this:

The primary purpose of the attached patches is for portable OpenSSH to support changing expired passwords as specified in shadow password files. To support that, I did a couple enhancements to the base OpenBSD OpenSSH code. They are: 1. Consolidated the handling of "forced_command" into a do_exec() function in session.c. These were being handled inconsistently and allocated

I am using Ferret for a Rails app in which Rails runs as one user but I have other processes that run as a different user that modify the ferret index. This is done in large part to mitigate the damage if a major exploit is found in Rails again. The problem is Ferret creates all its index files with rw for the user only. I have included a small patch that changes Ferret to create these

The Linux/Unix-port of OpenSSH-1.2.3 in sshd.c:allowed_user() denies Login to users with an empty shell-field in /etc/passwd. According to the docs this is wrong and an empty shell-field should default to /bin/sh. I'm sure that this is what was intended, because code and comment get it right in sshd.c:do_child(): * Get the shell from the password data. An empty shell field is

I was encountering a strange message about "faked authloop for illegal user". It turned out the allowed_user function was disallowing passwd entries with a blank shell field, which is supposed to be equivalent to "/bin/sh".

Hi everyone, We are trying to port our own windows application to SUSE linux.Our application uses SetFilePerm() api defined in commondll.dll.We would like to know whether there is a linux equivalent of windows commondll.dll in wine... If not then what could be the possible alternative to make this api function exactly as it does in windows. Waiting for an early reply, Thanks and Regards,

This is a corrected version of the patch I originally submitted on September 5th, and resubmitted on October 14th. I have removed the changes that added $(CFLAGS) to the link-only invocations of gcc. Otherwise, the patch is the same as before. My thanks to Paul (prj@po.cwru.edu) for noticing my error and kindly correcting me. ** text of original letter, with corrections ** I had to make some

I had to make some patches to rsync to get it to build on VOS. We are a POSIX-96 (but not Unix) system. Here is the subset of the patches that I think are general to all platforms. I have tested these here. I was surprised that CPPFLAGS is not available to the compilation rules in the Makefile. Most other packages (e.g. Samba) seem to allow CPPFLAGS to be set by the user.
