Bash issue on solaris 8 ( Segmentation fault for non root users)

Hi,
This is solaris 8 on sparc and a NFS file server for the NIS+ environment. As supposed to be this file server is nis+ client.
Now this issue happens only sometimes and goes away on its own but it did not this time.
I connect to file server using ssh, system closes my session,
this is ssh -vvv log , copied here : http://pastebin.ca/1633893Please note that my shell is /bin/bash. It worked 99% time but not now, nothing is changed on system.
If I ssh root@fileserver then ssh connection works fine. root can also run bash command. and run other commands in bash
For a normal user with csh if the user tries "bash" , then gets
user@fileserver%> bash
Segmentation Fault
I am thinking this is somewhere related to rpc but I do not see any errors on nis+ server nor on fileserver.
%>truss bash o/p is here :
http://pastebin.ca/1633907Please let me know what is this issue related to. If by stopping/restarting a process helps that would be great.
one more thing to note is, other nis+ clients can mount shares from this fileserver properly and authentication also works fine on them even for users with /bin/bash shell and bash does work manually also.
If you need any other info, please let me know
Please help!
Thanks!

Anyone any idea? I thought the truss o/p copied in pastebin might be very useful
Additional info, for someone with /bin/tcsh as shell, when su - <user> from root account, following messages come up
free(4b31688) bad block. (memtop = 4b7e400 membot = 9c9a0)

[SOLVED] Systemctl poweroff etc hangs for non-root user

Hi. I recently messed up /etc/passwd and /etc/group as explained here . It seems it might be related.
The problem I have now is that the power management commands (systemctl {poweroff, hibernate, suspend}) "hangs" for my non-root user. They do nothing, and are not even logged to the journal.
When run as root they all work just fine.
I've tried reinstalling systemd, but not its dependencies.
Maybe systemd had a user or group that got lost from the files?

NetworkManager applet doesn't prompt for VPN secret for non-root user

I'm using NetworkManager in GNOME DE. When logged in as non-root user, I'm unable to connect to a vpnc profile.
* As non-root, I am able to add/remove/alter/connect to WiFi network profiles with no trouble.
* As non-root, I am also able to add/remove/alter vpnc profiles.
* However, the VPN group key and VPN user password do not appear to store properly when adding/editing the profile as non-root. I can enter them, but when I bring the dialog back up, they are always blank. Even so, I can see an entry for vpnc in the Gnome keyring.
* When I slide the on/off switch to try to connect with the vpn profile, there is no prompt for the VPN group key or password. The switch just slides back to Off immediately and I can see the text 'authentication required' flash briefly where it shows the connection status. After that flashes, the connection status is back to 'Not connected'. No error message displays.
* If I sign in as root, there are no problems. The VPN 'secrets' will save properly in the dialog, and also if I leave them blank, I'm prompted for them when I activate the connection.
* Creating the connection as 'root' is not an option, as this doesn't appear in profile list when signing on as non-root.
Any ideas on where to look or what to check? As mentioned above, non-root can maintain WiFi connections through NetworkManager just fine, so the problem appears localized to VPN 'secrets'. Also other applications (i.e. Evolution) have no trouble in dealing with authentication.
I do have polkit installed:
extra/polkit 0.110-2 [installed]
Application development toolkit for controlling system-wide privileges
extra/polkit-kde 0.99.0-2
Daemon providing a polkit authentication UI for KDE
extra/polkit-qt 0.103.0-2
A library that allows developers to access PolicyKit API with a nice Qt-style API
community/polkit-gnome 0.105-1 [installed]
PolicyKit integration for the GNOME desktop

Update/more information on this...
My typical/preferred setup for my VPNs is to save the VPN group key, but to be prompted for my VPN user password on each connect. So, this is how I was trying to setup in the applet. Interestingly, I have found that if I save BOTH of the 'secrets' to the keyring, then I can connect!
The behavior is still as above in the dialog -- both secrets are blank if I edit the connection, although they are present in the Gnome keyring. As long as they are BOTH there, I can connect fine. But, if I have either of them set to 'Always Ask', then I am not prompted for them and the connection fails.
Although I can work with this, I would certainly still like to figure out what is going on and fix it, as it does bother me that it works that way:
* Why can't the dialog redisplay my secrets when I edit a connection as non-root?
* Why doesn't Always Ask work to prompt me for secrets when running as non-root?
Any ideas? I've used the Gnome/NetworkManager/vpnc combination on other desktops (this is my first Arch), and I have never seen anything like this.

Mount point won't allow read/write for non-root user

Any ideas why this particular fstab line leads to root user only read/write for any disk referenced in my fstab?
Example:
UUID=496E-7B5E /media/STORAGE vfat defaults 0 0
I have tried all variations of what "defaults" should be (rw,suid,dev,exec)
I had even added uid=0777, and no matter what options I add there, doing
sudo mount -a
or with the line in fstab commented out and
mount -t vfat -U 496E-7B5E /media/STORAGE -o defaults
causes the same issue.
Results in every filesystem there to be mounted as read only for me as a user, and I can only write to them as root.
Weird
I have run
sudo chmod -v -R a+rwx /media/STORAGE
and similarly
sudo chmod -v -R 0777 /media/STORAGE
Both were tried on the directory as mounted and unmounted. When mounted, the verbose output DOES NOT error out and shows property change of the files
Oddly, if no fstab reference is used, the disk shows up in the dolphin panel, and can be mounted in that manner and it is read write as a usual user.
Using a Chakra-live installed with Unetbootin, so perhaps that is the issue... so
How is mounting through dolphin handled and what might I use at the command line to accomplish this same routine, as I only need one partition to mount read write when the system starts, so maybe I can add the command to rc.local

LdapList as none root user

Hi,
I am running into a strange issue that when I issue an ldaplist command through a "none root user", the system indicates the following error :
ldaplist: LDAP configuration problem (Unable to load configuration '/var/ldap/ldap_client_file' ('').)
When I issue the same command as root, I have no issues doing so.
I already tried to change the permissions on the ldap config files, though that did not help.
I am using DS5.2 on solaris9.
Thanks for helping out here.
-Ives-

Just found the issue.
In fact the problem was that the /var/run/ldap_cache_door did not have read access for others.
Adapted that file solved the problem.

SQL tab not working in V2.1 EA1 for non-DBA users -- how to fix?

In v2.1 EA 1 the tab to show the SQL script (DDL) in the object browser is not working for non-DBA users. In the prior version, these users would see a message about DBMS_METADATA and then the message would indicate that an "internal generator" would be used to generate the DDL script. After that brief message the DDL would show up as expected. This doesn't seem to be the case in the newest version.
I issued the following two grants to a particular user which worked, but I am reluctant to issue the grants to "PUBLIC".
SQL> grant execute on DBMS_METADATA to XXXXX;
SQL> grant select_catalog_role to XXXXX;
So, my questions are:
1) Will the old functionality (that didn't require these privileges) be added to V2 at some point?
2) What security implications are there for issueing the above grants to PUBLIC?
NOTE: After granting execute on the DBMS_METADATA package, it still didn't work. I left that grant in place and granted SELECT_CATAOG_ROLE, so I can't say for sure that the 1st grant was required.

An OEM account is separate from the database account. You need to use OEM UI to create an OEM account, however, for certain tasks to be done in the databases which OEM is monitoring they will also require separate database accounts within those databases. For example, to view the performance tab in OEM UI, a database account is required.
OEM only has two types of users, i.e. Super Administrator and Administrator, but don't go by the names. You can grant an OEM 'Administrator' account access to specific targets and what they can do within OEM, such as only viewing reports, targets, and so on. For access within a database, the user created need not be a DBA either.
I hope you understand.

Acrobat 7 requires admin password at every launch for non admin users?

acrobat 7 requires admin password at every launch for non admin users?
any one with a solution or similar problem?
thanks for any help.

I've been avidly following all of the threads regarding this issue...yet none of the solutions have worked for me. I've got 11 Mac users that do not use the Creative Suite..only Acrobat, Quark, etc. I've tried installing and re-installing through both Admin and User accounts, I've tried the AdobeBib XML change, I've tried enabling Root and installing, changing permission on the Acrobat folder, etc. all to no avail. I still get asked for Admin Authentication every time Acrobat and Distiller are opened (except on the Admin account side). This is happening on one particular Mac (G4, 1GB Ram, OS 10.4.3) for both Acrobat Standard 6 and 7 as well. The biggest issue that also happens in tandem with the Acrobat installs is the inability to print from Quark. I get the following error when printing: "The process "pictwpstops" terminated unexpectedly on signal 6." Because of the necessity to print Quark documents, I have uninstalled all Acrobat on the machines until we can get a fix. This resolves the printing problem with Quark. The only option left is to set up all users as Admin accounts - which I really do not want to do. Any other suggestions out there? I've got more information available if needed.

Trying to lock out Solaris 11 non-root users but not working-

Hi,
We are trying to lock out non-root user after 5 unsuccessful login attempts by editing the policy.conf file but it's not working..It's working in the global zone but not in the non-global zones. Is there something else we need to do?
This is Solaris 11 with Solaris 11 NGZs.
kind regards

It works exactly the same way in the global and non global zone cases. This code is 100% userland so it doesn't mater if it is running
in a global or non global zone.
Note that you do need to configure policy.conf in both the global and non global zone.
Are both configured similarly with respect to nameservices ?
Currently we only support lock_after_retries for the local files nameservice.

How to allow access to winrs for non-admin user?

I have Windows Server 2012 (and Server 2008, but it is next priority) to monitor it using txwinrm. txwinrm library internally is using WinRS protocol. I have to monitor it using least privileged user, but don't know how to configure access for him.
All I managed to do - is to configure remote Powershell session for my user, but it's look like that winrs and powershell sessions have different security descriptors:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName 192.168.173.206 -Credential (credential Administrator $pwd) -ScriptBlock { 2 + 2}
# gives 4
Invoke-Command -ComputerName 192.168.173.206 -Credential (credential lpu1 $pwd) -ScriptBlock { 2 + 2}
# gives 4
winrs -r:192.168.173.206 -u:Administrator -p:$pwd 'powershell -command "2+2"'
# gives 4
winrs -r:192.168.173.206 -u:lpu1 -p:$pwd 'powershell -command "2+2"'
# Gives Winrs error: Access is denied.
Configuration for my user is following:
(Get-Item WSMan:\localhost\Service\RootSDDL).value
# O:NSG:BAD:P(A;;GA;;;BA)(A;;GA;;;S-1-5-21-3231263931-1371906242-1889625497-1141)S:P(AU;FA;GA;;;WD)(AU;SA;GWGX;;;WD)
(Get-PSSessionConfiguration -name Microsoft.Powershell).SecurityDescriptorSddl
# O:NSG:BAD:P(A;;GA;;;BA)(A;;GA;;;S-1-5-21-3231263931-1371906242-1889625497-1149)S:P(AU;FA;GA;;;WD)(AU;SA;GXGW;;;WD)
(In each security descriptor my user is given general access to protected object).
So what security descriptor should I set to make my winrs query work for non-admin user?

Hi Bunyk,
I can not recreate the erroe you posted, and please also post the screenshoot in your convenience.
I tested with a non-domain user but has the local admin permission of the remote computer, and this worked, before running the remote cmdlet in powershell, I also configured the TrustedHosts.
In addition, the access denied could be also caused to the Protocol Filtering on the remote server, for more detailed information, please refer to this thread:
winrs error:access is denied
I hope this helps.

[SOLVED]Xorg won't work for my non root user

I installed Arch Linux 2009.08 x86_64 Core inside Sun VirtualBox 3.0.8 and got up to the part of the Beginners' Guide that tells me to test X and it can never work for my non root user. Funny thing is, I tried running it as root and it worked even though my root user has no ~/.xinitrc file. Running startx or xinitrc as my non root user I get a small (maybe 400x600) white terminal but can't use my mouse or keyboard.
After looking over the guide and doing a step I forgot and adding in all of the extra stuff the guide says might help I can use my mouse and keyboard in my non root users' small white terminal but X still won't start properly with xterm even though I put 'exec exterm' in my non root users' ~/.xinitrc file. Please help. Thanks for any help guys.

I don't get it .. this sounds like xterm is starting up successfully (xterm is a small white terminal). Easiest way to get X up and running (imo) is
sudo pacman -S gnome gdm xorg xf86-input-evdev
sudo /etc/rc.d/hal start
sudo /etc/rc.d/gdm start
I didn't know that's what xterm was, thanks for telling me. Noob mistake.

I received a notice that there is an update for my Lightroom 5. I have the non-creative cloud version. Is the update available for non-cloud users? It says to download click the link and it takes me to Cloud free trial screen.

It is the same installer. You can run it as 30-days trial (CC version) and decide later for CC or stand-alone. To license as stand-alone, follow this guide.
If you already have the LR6 license key, you can enter it during setup and do not need to follow the guide.

How to create a domain for a non-root user using the JES installer

Some questions have been circulating on what are the steps to create a whole domain configuration using a non-root user. Here is one method that you can try....
- Login as user "testuser", all operations are using the user I want to start the whole domain with
- cd to the testuser home directory and created apptest (mkdir apptest)
-created domain
/opt/SUNWappserver/appserver/bin/asadmin create-domain adminuser admin adminport 4849 --domaindir /testuser/apptest testdomain
Please enter adminpassword>adminadmin
Please enter adminpassword again>adminadmin
Please enter the master password>adminadmin
Please enter the master password again>adminadmin
- created nodeagent
/opt/SUNWappserver/appserver/bin/asadmin create-node-agent user admin port 4849 password adminadmin agentdir /testuser/apptest testnode
Please enter the master password>adminadmin
- Start the domain
/opt/SUNWappserver/appserver/bin/asadmin start-domain domaindir /testuser/apptest user admin testdomain
Please enter password>adminadmin
Please enter the master password>adminadmin
Domain testdomain started.
- Start the nodeagent
/opt/SUNWappserver/appserver/bin/asadmin start-node-agent user admin agentdir /testuser/apptest/ testnode
Please enter password>adminadmin
Please enter the master password>adminadmin
Command start-node-agent executed successfully.
- create instance
/opt/SUNWappserver/appserver/bin/asadmin create-instance nodeagent testnode user admin i1
Please enter password>adminadmin
Command create-instance executed successfully.
- start instance
/opt/SUNWappserver/appserver/bin/asadmin start-instance --user admin i1
Please enter password>adminadmin
Command start-instance executed successfully.

And this can be used to the incident priority (same technique can be used for problems):
private int GetIncidentPriority(EnterpriseManagementGroup emg)
try
//Get the incident settings class
ManagementPackClass mpc = emg.EntityTypes.GetClass(new Guid("613c9f3e-9b94-1fef-4088-16c33bfd0be1"));
//Get the emo for the incident settings
EnterpriseManagementObject emo = emg.EntityObjects.GetObject<EnterpriseManagementObject>(mpc.Id, ObjectQueryOptions.Default);
//Get the priority maxtrix and convert to XML
if (emo[mpc, "PriorityMatrix"].Value != null && emo[mpc, "PriorityMatrix"].Value.ToString() != "")
string sMatrixXML = emo[mpc, "PriorityMatrix"].Value.ToString();
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.LoadXml(sMatrixXML);
//Get the guid strings for impact and urgency (note - xml goes by urgency then impact)
string sUrgencyGuid = "04b28bfb-8898-9af3-009b-979e58837852";
string sImpactGuid = "11756265-f18e-e090-eed2-3aa923a4c872";
foreach (XmlNode urgencynode in xmlDoc.ChildNodes[0].ChildNodes)
if (urgencynode.Attributes.Count == 1 && urgencynode.Attributes["Id"].Value.ToString().ToLower() == sUrgencyGuid)
foreach (XmlNode impactnode in urgencynode.ChildNodes)
if (impactnode.Attributes.Count == 1 && impactnode.Attributes["Id"].Value.ToString().ToLower() == sImpactGuid)
XmlNode prioritynode = impactnode.ChildNodes[0];
return Convert.ToInt32(prioritynode.InnerXml);
return 0;
catch
return 0;

Solaris Weblogic 8.1 Server - starting Weblogic as non-root user

Hello,
Currently we are starting weblogic 8.1 server as the root user, but would like to start as a non-root user.
(our unix team isn't too happy giving us, the dev team the root password!).
Is it possible to start Weblogic 8.1 on Solaris 8 without the root password?...If so, can you point me, where I can find more information in the documentation, please.
thanx,
Vishwa

If you have managed to boot the server before in the past you should have a config.xml.booted file in your domain. Try using this to boot, if it works you can diff it with your possibly mashed config.xml to see what went wrong.

Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

You can burn a plain CD/DVD by just dragging the photos there; but, that may or may not be playable by everyone. To be sure that the result would be playable in any computer or CD/DVD player, it would be better to use either one of the apps already on your system - such as iPhoto. I don't use that myself - I use other third party software - but take a look at iPhoto help. And, you could make it more interesting by creating a slideshow - also in iPhoto, or iMovie. To give it the final cool touch, bring it into iDVD to give it a polished look if you'd like. You can burn it then from any of the above.
If you happen to have Toast (an excellent burning app), you could use that as well (that is my preferred way to work). In Toast, you have multiple choices: burn a data CD/DVD for Mac only, for Mac & PC, etc, burn a picture CD, video DVD, etc, etc.
