similar to: chown command goof up

In a moment of epic stupidity, having ran out of space on the root partition of a server due to /var chewing up the space, I added a separate drive for the purpose of mounting it as /var To do so, I mounted the new drive as /var2, cp -R (in hindsight should had rsync to preserve attributes), deleted the original /var to free up space, edited fstab and rebooted... unsurprisingly to a fubar'd

Here's the checklist I have so far: 1 - /home partition - separate drive 2 - Files copied to the second drive: /etc/X11/xorg.conf rpm for RPM forge /etc/yum - entire folder /etc/yum/repos.d - entire folder /etc/yum.conf /etc/yumex.conf /etc/yumex.profiles.conf 3 - Files installed via Yum(ex) - Hmmm, need to figure this one out. Any pointers? -- --- David Woyciesjes

Centos 4.3 Hi All: I just shot myself in the foot by change the owner/perms on the contents of the root directory (my bad!!!). I have done a quick compare with a running RHEL3U8 system and think I have every thing back to what it should be except for new directories media and selinux. Can someone out there currently running 4.3 send me an "ls -l" of their root directory so I can make

F12, libvirt 0.7.1-15, qemu 0.11.0-12, 32 bit I recently discovered that libvirt is stealing ownership of my disk images. How can I make it stop? I have a disk image in my home directory, owned by matt. When I create a domain that uses the disk it gets chowned to qemu.qemu. When the domain terminates it is owned by root.root. I've lost access to the file. It has been suggested that the

Looking for recommendations.... On WinXP, I use MusicMatch Jukebox version 9 for all my tinkering with mp3s. What do you guys use that would match the functionality of MMJB? I'm mainly interested in the music library setup of MMJB... -- --- David Woyciesjes

Need some pointers here. I've got CentOS 4.4, and I want to control my OSX 10.4.9 box via VNC. It connects, and I get a little dot for the mouse cursor, but just a black screen. I can see the mouse controlling the OSX desktop... Here's the output when I start in a terminal: [d at f ~]$ vncviewer VNC server supports protocol version 3.889 (viewer 3.3) VNC authentication succeeded

Hello, I've been trying to figure this out for some time and can't quite nail it down, despite searching the internet, and a couple of samba books. Here goes: I'm running "Version 3.4.3-3.3.1-2341-SUSE-SL11.2" of Samba on OpenSUSE 11.2. Here are some relevant excerpts from my smb.conf file: [global] ... security = ADS ... winbind separator = + ... log level = 2 ...

This past Tuesday (2/22/07) my flash drive started acting really strange - it only worked intermittently and would disappear right after an access or two. Yesterday it stopped working altogether - I couldn't even access it through my WinXP-on-VMWare. I rebooted my machine, and it worked fine after that. Is there some time limit on how long a USB flash drive will work in CentOS or is this a

Here's the problem, I upgraded all of my 7960 phones to SIP. Now my boss wants to carry his phone with him between offices. The other office has CCM which is set up for Skinny. Now I have to put SCCP back on a 7960 phone and it won't take it. Does anyone have an example of config files for sccp. Are they the same as config files for SIP? I've never had to go back to Skinny once I

Hi, I've just upgraded our dovecot installation from 1.0.15 to 1.1.13. This went smoothly and just worked -- thank you very much for writing such a high performance and robust piece of software. However, we have a shared mailbox that people can subscribe to. After upgrading to 1.1.13 ... dovecot tries to create a dovecot-acl-list file in the top level of this ... but it creates it

I've put a Nvidia Quadro card in my machine. It was first detected as Quadro4 200/400 NVS. I have the pigtail for dual monitors. I've tried tweaking the xorg file to get it working, to no avail. So I then downloaded the 9631 version driver from Nvidia. The readme for the newer files said that they didn't support this card. I run the installer, it builds the module, but gets

Hi there... Foolish me.... all was going sooooooo well and then I got a wild hair and updated to the latest clamav .92 today. It is possible I should have just done an rpm update install yet there were some changes in ClamAV lately and I didn't know how well that would go. up till now I spec'd and rolled my own Clamav RPMs without milter somewhat recently ClamAV changed from having a

Hi List :) So, I have a folder1, its owner is user1 who has r+w on the folder. User2 is the group owner who only has read access (when I say user2, I mean the group called user2, because when you make a new user the OS can make them their own group). You can see these permissions below: [user2 at host test]$ ls -l drw-r----- 3 user1 user2 28 Nov 2 16:17 folder1 How ever user2 can not

hey list, we are currently migrating our users from novell to samba. now we have one problem: in novell we could give e.g. user1 access to users2 home share so he could modify, delete or add files on this share. in samba we defined a global homes share that is mapped on logon. so how can we give user1 the needed rights? here is the definition of the homes share in smb.conf: [homes]

What can I look at to understand why chown keeps saying user does not exist. wbinfo -u/-g returns the user information klist -v shows kerberos is working net ads join works fine wbinfo -t shows secret is fine aix does not have getent so I can't run getent passwd -- is there something equivalent on aix? /usr/lib/security/methods.cfg has: WINBIND: program =

Dear All. I have a file server. I installed the samba on it to store the document. See below for the security : - group : + g1 : user1, user2,user3 + g2 : user4, user5,user6 + g3 : user1,user5 - folder : + folder A : set permission chmod 775 and group chown root:g3 The problem is when the user1 modified a file in folder A then that file add the group g1 automatically.
