Added 'exit 0' To The Bottom Of .bashrc, Now What?

Centos 6.5

I ran into an interesting problem (on reddit) that I figured I could solve, but I have not been able to. Its simple,.. I added 'exit 0' to /root/.bashrc, and now I am trying to log in via ssh.

Everytime I do, it immediately exits when it runs the .bash_profile, which sources .bashrc, (which is immediate upon 'logging in')

I've tried:

Code:
ssh root@192.168.1.50 -t vim
vim scp://192.168.1.50/.bashrc
vim scp://192.168.1.50/root/.bashrc
ssh root@192.168.1.50 bash --norc
ssh root@192.168.1.50 /bin/bash --norc --noprofile
ssh -T root@192.168.1.50 "mv /root/.bashrc /root/.bashRC"
scp .bashrc root@192.168.1.50:/root/
ssh root@192.168.1.50 /bin/bash --norc --noprofile -vvvvvvvvvv
ssh -vvvvvv root@192.168.1.50 /bin/bash --norc --noprofile
ssh -vvvvvv root@192.168.1.50 /bin/mv /root/.bashrc /root/.bashRC
ssh -t -t root@192.168.1.50 << EOF
mv /root/.bashrc /root/.bashRC
EOF
ssh -t -t root@192.168.1.50 --norc << EOF
echo HELLO > /root/.bashrc
EOF
ssh -tv root@192.168.1.50 rm .bashrc

So,.. I am unable to get back into the system (as root, no other users exist) after adding 'exit 0' to .bashrc

Anyone feel like explaining why all of these failed (aside from saying SSH interactive logins run the .bash_profile/.bashrc files) or, offering a suggestion that works? Seems like if you have the root password, you should be allowed to modify the login process... since... you know... you are root.

Sed: Transforming 'ls-laR' Output Into A List With Absolute Paths

Hello, this is my first post
First i would like to thank you all for answering other people questions because I've been able to learn from the forum a lot.

I need your help with something.
I have standard output from 'ls -laR /etc' command which looks like this:
Code:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d:
total 4
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root  29 Apr  1 00:46 .
drwxr-xr-x. 5 root root  54 Apr  1 00:43 ..
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 232 Apr  1 00:46 00-keyboard.conf

/etc/xdg:
total 12
drwxr-xr-x.  4 root root   36 Apr  1 00:43 .
drwxr-xr-x. 87 root root 8192 Apr 12 13:53 ..
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root    6 Jun 10  2014 autostart
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root   17 Apr  7 01:25 systemd

by using sed command:
Code:
sed -e '/./!d' -e '/^total/d' -e '/\.$/d' -e 's/:$/\//' list.txt

I have transformed it to the following form:

Code:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 232 Apr  1 00:46 00-keyboard.conf
/etc/xdg/
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root    6 Jun 10  2014 autostart
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root   17 Apr  7 01:25 systemd

and now I would like to achieve absolute paths at the end of each row

Code:
-rw-r--r--.  1 root root  232 Apr  1 00:46 /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root    6 Jun 10  2014 /etc/xdg/autostart
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root   17 Apr  7 01:25 /etc/xdg/systemd


How do I join(merge) filenames with corresponding absolute path to their parent directory?



I know how to extract filenames using awk and get this:
Code:
00-keyboard.conf

autostart
systemd

but I don't know what to do next. Should I use some hitech sed option or go for loop or try with arrays? Help. Heeeelp

Slackware 14.0 - End User Changing Password Failed

Hi all,

I am slackware 14.0 user. Recently I face one problem. As a root i can change one of my normal user's (assuming Peter) password. However, when I login as Peter, and try to change the password, the system does not allow me to renew my password.


root@slackwa /etc# ls -la | grep shadow
-rw-r----- 1 root shadow 9 Nov 29 2013 gshadow
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Jun 20 2013 gshadow-
-rw-r----- 1 root shadow 2272 Apr 12 22:44 shadow
-rw------- 1 root root 2274 Apr 12 21:40 shadow-
root@slackwa /etc# ls -la | grep passwd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2362 Apr 12 12:58 passwd
-rw------- 1 root root 2306 Jan 8 17:38 passwd-
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2305 Aug 11 2014 passwd~


peter@slackwa ~$ which passwd
/usr/bin/passwd
peter@slackwa ~$ ls -la /usr/bin/passwd
-rws--x--x 1 root root 68725 Sep 14 2012 /usr/bin/passwd*

peter@slackwa ~$ passwd
Changing password for peter
Old password:
Incorrect password for peter.
The password for peter is unchanged.

One thing I can assure is the password I input is correct. I have another slackware 14 running on Dell R410, but it does not has this problem.


Please kindly advice. Thank you.

Root Terminal: 'Granted Permissions Without Asking For Password' - Is This Normal?

I am using debian 7.7 stable and when I open the root terminal it asks for the password.

But if I open it again, I get the message: 'Granted permissions without asking for password. The /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator program was started with the privileges of the root user without the need to ask for a password, due to your system's authentication mechanism setup'.

Oh, really? Because I don't remember setting up any 'authentication mechanism setup'.
How can I change this so the root terminal always asks for the password?
Do I have a trojan already? Because I installed the OS just a few days ago.

Thanks very much.

Space Disk "used" In Df Is Nowhere To Be Found With Du

I am facing an issue with a filesystem (/dev/sda3); I see space used on it (around 365GB) when I am looking at the host with "df -h" command.

Code:

I have looked if any hidden file might cause the issue, no joy.

Code:

So I try to find where the space is used with a "du -sh" command

Code:

So as far as I understand, only /hadoop is a suitable suspect (as cumulative size of all the other folders on "/" are well below the 365GB)

Code:
[root@srv_omega hadoop]# cd /
[root@srv_omega /]# cd /hadoop

dr-xr-xr-x 27 root root 4.0K Apr 30 15:12 ..

All folders from 1 to 15 are on different filesystems, so the folder disk16 seems to be the only option but there is nothing in it.

Code:
[root@srv_omega hadoop]# cd disk16/
[root@srv_omega disk16]# ls -lrtha
total 8.0K
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4.0K Jun  5  2014 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4.0K Jun  5  2014 .
[root@srv_omega disk16]#

I just don't get it; no folder seems responsible for the "365Gb"...

Any idea on how I could try to find out where those "365GB" are ?

Where Is Root Terminal In Debian 8

The previous Debian versions had root terminal application that I could use with line commands that I could copy/paste. I cannot find that anymore in Debian, only XTerm which I cannot copy/paste text from it. Any idea what I could use?

Cron Ignoring Changes Made In File

Hi,

i have a small problem on my system... I recently wrote a small bash script and added it via crontab -u root -e and it's executed as it should.
Then a few days after i did edit my bash script, but once it is run by cron it doesn't reflect the changes i made to the script. I did manually restart crond, tryed sync, moved my script, renamed it even rstart the server - no success.
If i run my script manually it returns me the expected output.
part of my script (/root/sd.sh):
Code:

Ln With -t Option, To Create Relative Symlink Not Working

I'm trying to recreate a relative symlink, to link "asymlink" to "somedir/actualfile" in /root/test/ but its creating 2 symlinks instead.

Code:
[root]# ln -t /root/test/ -s somedir/actualfile asymlink
[root]# ll /root/test/
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   18 Feb 16 06:15 actualfile -> somedir/actualfile
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    8 Feb 16 06:15 asymlink -> asymlink
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 16 06:15 somedir

I can do it with
Code:
cd /root/test
ln -s somedir/actualfile asymlink

but I'm trying to avoid the cd, and also avoid using the full path.

Does anyone know why the -t flag isn't working as expected?

Become A Root Wiht Public Key Access

Hello Everyone,

I have a question about how to give sudo privileges to a user that log in via public key without password.

I created a normal user and I added this user to the "visudo" folder with ALL privileges.

when the user is logged in the system via public key and the user wants to become a root, a password is requested but i don't want to type the password.

Also to add the public key to the root it is not possible because i track the user log in in the system and if they log via root i cannot do that.

Thank you in advance.

User Permitted To Run Command,execute Program As Root And After Execution, Exit Root

when a command is typed(i.e. /path/to/the/program), as a normal user, he should be able to run that command , execute that program as ROOT and log out root after the execution is completed.
Only one user should be able to do it.
Hence, I have created a new user vj and added the following command in visudo:
Code:
vj ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /path/to/the/program

Now user vj will be able to typein the command.

What I need is that the program which is been called must run as if it is run by a root user,and when the program is completely executed, exit the root user.

How do I proceed?
