So I discovered yesterday that if puppet changes the gid of a group it doesn''t go through the file system and update them with the new correct gid (at least this was the case on RHEL5 and client puppet v2.6.16 and puppetmaster 2.7.12). Now I thought that it might be possible to have puppet execute something like find /home/ -group <old_gid> | xargs chgrp groupname. However

A change was recently introduced into uidswap.c to cover the case where the user is root. The change is "&& pw->pw_uid != 0 &&". /* Try restoration of GID if changed (test clearing of saved gid) */ if (old_gid != pw->pw_gid && pw->pw_uid != 0 && (setgid(old_gid) != -1 || setegid(old_gid) != -1))

Hi Rich, This patch attends to remove the user accounts in the guest, I send this out to request your comments, if the concept is correct and you can point out some syntax error for me. Thanks a lot, Wanlong Gao Remove user accounts except the root user. Signed-off-by: Wanlong Gao <gaowanlong at cn.fujitsu.com> --- sysprep/Makefile.am | 2 +

Hi, the below patch solves the same problem for gids as has already been solved for uids. Windows has no concept of permanently changing the identity. It's always possible to revert to the original identity.

Hi, I'm terribly sorry that I missed this before 3.7p1 was out. The permanently_set_uid() function fails on Cygwin since the test to revert to the saved uid unfortunately works on Cygwin though it shouldn't. The reason is that a Windows NT process always can revert to its previous privileges. There's no such concept of giving up rights in a process permanently. This is only

Aloha, I'm curious about the following code at line 203 in uidswap.c: /* Try restoration of GID if changed (test clearing of saved gid) */ if (old_gid != pw->pw_gid && (setgid(old_gid) != -1 || setegid(old_gid) != -1)) fatal("%s: was able to restore old [e]gid", __func__); This causes permanently_set_uid to fail in the following case: $ su Password: ???????? #

I found this site https://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/CentOSUpgradeTool Is this still the case - there is no upgrade path from 6 to 7 ? I have a few remote servers I'd like to upgrade (if possible). Thanks, Jerry

Everyone, about 4 years ago, I tried to install CentOS 6 on a Supermicro server with SCSI drives using a LSI raid system. I could never figure out or find a way to make the installation disc of Centos 6 identify the SCSI drives. The installation disc for Centos 5 identified the SCSI drives without a problem. I finally gave up on Centos 6 and installed Centos 5 and the system has worked very

I've been hard hit by the lack of CentOS-6 documentation mentioned in another thread. The openLDAP setup has been changed completely between CentOS 5 and 6, and I haven't been able to find any reasonably coherent instructions explaining how to upgrade. If anyone knows of such a document I should be most grateful to learn of it. Actually I have openLDAP working (though unencrypted) with my

EHLO, Somehow I don't think it makes any sense to test whether the gid/egid can be changed, if the original uid happened to be root. Root can always change the gid/egid anyhow. So, I would like to propose the following change to 3.9p1... --- uidswap.c.orig Sun Aug 29 15:43:57 2004 +++ uidswap.c Sun Aug 29 15:44:05 2004 @@ -201,7 +201,7 @@ #endif /* Try restoration of GID if

Hi I've been reading every documentation available for creating smb domain groups and users, mapping domain groups and users... still learning... Every document I read states that root should be modified to RID 500, by running ' pdbedit -U `net getlocalsid | cut -d ":" -f2 | tr -d ' '`-500 -u root -r', but I always get root to RID 1000 and its domain group RID
