.profile And Bash.rc

Changing umask value for files and directories take effect after reload:
/etc/profile
/etc/bashrc
default permission for all users:
-rw-r--r--
above permission is edited to:
-rw-rw-r--
If a specific user in group having only read permission to a file/directory is created before reload,and Linux server reloads, that user gets rw permission to that file/directory. what is the alternative of securing:
/etc/profile
/etc/bashrc
apart from giving the two files access to root user only, and locking out all other users?

Hi,

In first place i would like to give you a brief about my current setup and my requirement.
I have 80% of the machines with CentOS 6.5 installed rest 20% windows 7. I have OpenLDAP v2.4 for user authentication.
In linux environment all linux machines are configured in such a way that whenever a user logs on to system with the help of OpenLDAP credentials he gets a default desktop rather Mandatory Profile is implemented in this setup. Now my goal is to enable OpenLDAP users logon to windows machines and get the same Mandatory profile setup done here. So far SambaPDC helped me to authenticate LDAP accounts on Windows clients machines but the Manadatory profile thing isn't working well at all due to posix acls issue. Now i am working with Windows Server 2012 r2 server so as to integrate with OpenLDAP for getting this Mandatory profile thing done. Is there any way i can sync all OpenLDAP accounts to Active directory or rather make my windows server a member server for OpenLDAP domain.

Please help me on this. Thanks in advance!!

Hi folks,

I have a very basic question for you if you don't mind. Whenever I open a terminal, I get this

Code:

 bash: /etc/profile.d/touchpad.sh: No such file or directory

followed by the usual prompt.

A few weeks ago I made a script called touchpad.sh, which would run whenever I opened a terminal. In the end, I deleted it because it wasn't doing what I wanted it to do. But some file is clearly still pointing to it. I've searched high and low for the source of this error, i.e. some reference to touchpad.sh, but I cannot find it. I've looked in ~/.bashrc ~/.profile and a few other places I can't remember offhand that I found on the Internet. Can anyone tell me where this reference is most likely to be? While it doesn't cause any problems and I can still use the terminal without a problem, it's a bit annoying and considering the amount of time I've spent trying to solve this problem, I'd be most grateful if someone point me in the right direction.

I'm running Sparky Linux (Debian Jessie) 64-bit (XFCE install) with Enlightenment Desktop on Lenovo T420.

Thank you in advance.

After install linux and configured a user to what I want (e.g.
Desktop settings, Firefox settings etc.) - how can I copy this entire setup to a newly create user?

Appreciate any advise.

I am looking to display the w (who) command to show only the

This shows some what hard to read and the columns don't line up correctly


is there a way to tab them in to columns that line up properly, or even something similar to the TOP command where the list will keep refreshing?

Hi, i know this could seems like a "simple" question but after a lot fo try i can't seems to make it works, i am stuck on this. I am working on a sbc6000x board, linux 2.6.24, an embedded system.

I am working on a pretty nice project which when called like this run perfectly :
Code:

cd /bin
./apps

(/bin/apps don't works, it must be ./apps from the directory)

After searching a little about the startup i learned about rc.local and created it in /etc/init.d, rc.local look like this :

Code:

#!bin/sh
# /etc/rc.d/rc.local: Local system initialization script.
#

cd /bin
./apps
cd

Sadly it seems it is never called. I was thinking about maybe add cd /bin, /.apps to the end of the etc/profile but i don't know if profile can run command aside from simple scripts call.

Does anyone has an idea on why this don't work or on how i could do this ?

hi guys, im trying to understand the bash rules or hash tag rules.

my understanding is the the everything to the right of the bash command is not executed? is this right? and you disable it by using a new line to enter executable commands?

Hi I'm using Ubuntu Server;

I added 'export PERL5LIB=/www-data/lib' on ~/.profile for uwsgi to use this environment variable , is that right?

And I need to autostart 'uwsgi uwsgi.ini' as a user 'webmaster' every time I boot.
How can I get this job done?

Hello,

In debian I created a new user "myUser".

In /home/myUser/.profile

I added "mysql -u user -password"

So automatically after login to linux terminal the user is logged in mysql command line.

What I need to do is to exit terminal after user exit mysql, so he want have access to comand line.

Bash interactive behavior is started when the bash command is called upon without non-option arguments, except when the option is a string to read from or when the shell is invoked to read from standard input, which allows for positional parameters to be set.
