If you like running QEMU as a normal user (very common for TCG runs) but you have to run virtiofsd as a root user you run into connection problems. Adding support for an optional --socket-group allows the users to keep using the command line.

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,

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

OpenSSH 3.4 has just been released. It will be available from the mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/ shortly. OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0 implementation and includes sftp client and server support. We would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their continued support and encouragement. Changes since OpenSSH 3.3: ============================

Our linux distribution at my job didn't include a /tmp directory. When ever I tried to use syslinux, I would get the following error: ./syslinux: No such file or directory I modified the code to report this: ./syslinux: Cannot access the /tmp/ directory. This would have helped me a lot rather than having to download the source and run it through the debugger to figure out that my /tmp/

Hi, I'm been using Samba for some time and I have been bugged by a problem with SourceSafe. I finally took some time to see what is going on and found the source of the problem (well, not in the source code though). I'm partially responsible, I have Unix files with the following rights "r--rw---" and Samba does not deal with these very well. I am now makind sure that this case

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,

Hello samba guys and XFS guys, I am now using Linux-2.4.5-1.0.1_XFS and Samba 2.2.2. Try to create a samba share on a XFS volume, for example, we create a directory named 'public', and set its default acl on 'public' as 'u::rwx,g::rw-,o::r--,m::rwx', . Under Linux box, try to create a file named 'file_linux' under directory 'public', On Samba client (Win2K)

Gerry, all: HELP! On mandriva, I compiled samba from source and got it running, but I cannot connect from windows. (see my post from earlier "[Samba] Compiling and Configuring Samba for Mandrival") I think this relates to the group/SID changes discussed in the release notes. However, I'm not smart enough to figure it out. The tarball compiled and installed fine. It

Solaris 8, Samba 3.0.1, Winbind with LDAP backend and security = ads. This may or may not be a problem, depending on what is "expected behaviour". We came across a user that was defined both locally and in AD. Their local primary group, call it "localgrp", was not the same as their global primary group, call it "globalgrp". One important note is that by using an

Problem is apparently with locking issues, disabled oplocks in the [general] section, and the problem actually got worse... Here's what happens: User-A part of group1, opens Excel file off of share, saves, exits... User-B (or even User-A for that matter) tries to re-open same file, get error stating it's locked and can only open for read-only access... Both users in the same group, and

Previously we had assumed that when running as root, libvirt would always run qemu as a non-root user (eg. qemu.qemu), unless you modify a global configuration file (/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf). It turns out there is a little-known feature to make libvirt run qemu as root without modifying any configuration files. We have to add a <seclabel/> element to the appliance XML: <seclabel
