similar to: rsync and BSD file flags.

Hi, first of all, sorry for taking so long. Unfortunately, some other tasks kept coming up. Anyway, attached is the version of the flags patch, that is based on the one I'm using with 2.6.9. It is against the rsync-3.0.0pre9 release. I've included the option name change from the repository, so the option is now called --fileflags. Improved from the previously distributed version is the

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

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

``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

Is there an r function that will be able to identify the computer the code is running on? I have some common code that I run on several computers and each has a database with a different server name - although the content is identical. I need to set thisServer depending on which machine the code is running on... something like... if(pcname = pc1) thisServer = 'SERVER1' if(pcname = pc2)

Hourly I have an rsync job backup /home to /home/backup. I have 24 directories (one for each hour): home.0 ... home.23 Here is the script I am running via cron: #! /usr/local/bin/bash dest=`date +%k | sed 's/ //g'` linkdir=`date -v-1H +%k | sed 's/ //g'` chflags -R noschg /home/backup rm -rf /home/backup/home.$dest rsync -ahHP --numeric-ids --delete --stats --link-dest=../

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone, One quick question: Is it safe and/or sensible to rename the root account, so that the only uid 0 user on a system is something different to root? I can see how this would be effective against external attackers who have no knowledge of the internals of the system as they would spend pointless hours trying to crack a user which doesnt

Hi, I'm running 4.8-STABLE but I'm having some problems installing a new kernel. (in /usr/src make installkernel). mv /kernel /kernel.old operation not permitted My securelevel is currently set to -1 (kern_securelevel=-1) and kern_securelevel_enable="NO" I have already executed chflags noschg /kernel and /kernel.old (while in single user mode). What am I missing? Thanks.

Hi *, it seems rsync with --fileflags isn't able to work on (already) hardlinked and immutable ("schg") files on FreeBSD. The following scripts will create a simple example for this behaviour: -------------------------------------------------------------- #! /bin/sh # # set -x DIR="/var/tmp/rsync_$(date +%s)/" mkdir "${DIR}/" # Preparing dir_A mkdir

Hello all, I have trouble to use rsync (tested with 3.0.2 and 3.0.3pre2) on MacOS X 10.3. Rsync always seems to stop when working on open files (?). Source is my laptop hard disk, destination a USB attached external drive. If I stop Firefox for instance all runs smoothly. This is how I built rsync: #!/bin/bash # VERSION=3.0.2 VERSION=3.0.3pre2 DIR="rsync-$VERSION"

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

Hi All! rsync-3.0.6 with fileflags.diff under FreeBSD 8.0-RC1: if there is a file with uchg or schg flag in source directory and it's hard-linked (usual case for /usr/bin), then rsync cannot create the link in destination directory. Error message: rsync: link "/tmp/s/a" => b failed: Operation not permitted (1) The problem is that it's not allowed to link a *chg'ed file.

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.

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
