How to login as a non root user into linux server after rebooting

Hi,
Even though it is not related to Oracle, but i assume that all you are aware about linux.
I wrote a script to make DB up automatically when i reboot the server. But i have to login into the sever as the nonroot user instead of root user automatically.
How can i do this?
Thanks
Mahi

Getting slapd to dump core when installed as a non-root users on linux

Doesn anyone know how to allow slapd do dump core when running on linux(redhat as4) while being installed as a non-root user?
I have tried the normal route of setting core to unlimited and that user to unlimited also in limits.conf.
I can do a kill -11 $pid with an instance running as root to get a core but no luck with an instance as a non-root user.

I forgot to mention that I'm running 6.1.

Xscreensaver fails when non-root user logs in

Hi,
My system is running Solaris 10 (10/08) with trusted extensions enabled.
The problems I am having is when I login as root, the Screen Lock menu item is enabled and I can lock the screen
However, when I login as a non-root user, the following error message is displayed and the Screen Lock menu item is not available:
There was an error starting up there screensaver.
Failed to execute child process "xscreensaver" (No such file or directory)
Screensaver functionality will not work in this session.
Instructions from around the web say to include /usr/openwin/bin in the PATH env variable in the .profile (or in my case .bashrc) to fix the problem. However, I've tried that without success.
I tried running /usr/openwin/bin/xscreensaver-demo. But the demo indicates that the xscreensaver daemon is not running and when I try to start it (via the demo) the daemon fails to start.
So, anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Paul W.

DougArthur: Your a champion. Running Sol_10.x86 on a VM virtualbox guest on my laptop a server at home. And well my last place of employment U2 after many login/out operations. I've noticed the exact same issues. I played around with the xscreensaver-demo which only appears to correct the issue "failed to execute child process" No such file or directory. Touched the .xscreensaver
etc. As you have quickly identified. Adding the system directories to the jds files did the trick. Wonder if this will be implemented into the next releases. I've seen this all the way up to U6 for workstation and or console use. Annoyances this wonderful OS has become. As it seems the little things cracking thru. Well done. Sparc versions same issues. Something needing attention
for the devo people to change. Small correction. Double "=" in a path statement might cause a buffer run. Change the PATH statement too PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/dt/bin: is syntax I entered 1st crack of fix. Voila she's operating as normal now! Great work.

How to make none root user to connect to TCP Port (web ports)

how to make none root user (any user)
to connect to TCP Port 80 or port 81 or any port less than 1024
cause i have web server i want to run and stop service with none root userand on port 80 and port 81
can you help me and give me steps

I believe Solaris 9 also has RBAC control. If so then all you need to do is present the uid with the PRIV_NET_PRIVADDR privilege. See the privielegs(5) manpage for more information on the subject.
This privilege will allow the userid to bind to ports < 1024. You can give a user this privilege either by using usermod (you will probably need the auth_attr(4) manpage as well) after which you need to login again. Or you can try using ppriv to modify the privileges on the users shell.

And this can be used to the incident priority (same technique can be used for problems):

//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();

Setting previleges to a non-root user account to access ports

Hello ,
I am tring to do an icmp-ping to a machine in the network from an application by connecting to icmp port through a raw socket.
My question is i am able to connect to icmp port using raw socket only in root user account. But my application should run under a non root user account and do the ping for me.
1)How do i set previleges to a particular user to access icmp port?
I am running the application on solaris 9
2)I read a paper on net saying ports from 0 to 1024 can only be accessed by a root user account?
Why is this and what can be done for a non-root user account to access these ports.
3) Is this possible in solaris 9.
Thanks in Advance,
cheers,
pal

There is only one solution: create a new Standard user account and set it as your auto login account, if you use that feature.
Using what you describe is mostly a false sense of security. Were someone to hack into the computer they could hack into the standard account, so you would not wish to keep any sensitive data in that account. Other things to consider:
Turn on your Firewall in Security & Privacy preference panel.
Use software to mask your online presence such as ProxyCap 2.03, MacProxy, Proxifier, or Hotspot Shield.

Running VMware Server 2 services as a non-root user

Hello,
I have switched from VirtualBox to VMware Server 2 on my Arch64 server and the transition has been relatively painless. I am at the point now where I want to run VMware's services as a non-root user account (I have a service account called "svc-vmadmin" that I'd like to use). I'm generally not comfortable running services as root, but at the same time I'm conscious of the time and effort required vs. overall benefits.
I've done the usual Google searches and even checked the VMware Server 2 user guide and the VMware community, but I can't find specific details on how to achieve this.
Is this even plausible in a Linux environment? I used to run VMware Server 1 under the SYSTEM account on Windows Server, so I'm hopinga similar thing can be done on Arch.
I would greatly appreciate any information or personal experience that fellow Archers can share.
Thanks,
Thom

System services are handled by launchd.
If you look in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ you'll see a plist file for each service including org.isc.named.plist, the plist for named.
If you edit this file you'll see it's an XML document that describes the service and how the OS should handle it, including the part:
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/usr/sbin/named</string>
<string>-f</string>
</array>
Just append another entry in the array that says <string>-u nobody</string> (or whatever username you want to run as.

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.

[Solved] Non-root user cannot access mounted ntfs filesystem

Hi -,
i have a dualboot system (arch/xfce + win7) and i use a ntfs partition /dev/sda2 to store files i use with both operating systems. I added the partition to fstab and it gets mounted, but i cannot access it with my non-root user. With root it works fine...
My fstab:
# cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
LABEL=home /home ext4 defaults 0 1
LABEL=root / ext4 defaults 0 1
LABEL=swap swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 /media/sda2 ntfs defaults 0 2
Is there any option that allows all users to use the mounted device? Or how is this usually done ...
Last edited by muzzel (2012-05-30 20:39:58)

See: NTFS-3G for important setup information.
My fstab line looks like:
/dev/sdb1 /media/Win_USB ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=users,fmask=113,dmask=0022 0 0
This sets up some important parameters which the NTFS-3G Wiki Page covers. Basically, "ntfs" is only a basic driver and is built into the kernel. "ntfs-3g" is a much better, and less disk-eating, driver that you should install and use if you need the drive in Linux any more than occasionally. My fstab line makes my user (1000) the owner and the masks lets me write and etc to it. When you install NTFS-3G it is automatically used when you use the mount command to mount NTFS drives. In fstab, as above, you would specify it explicitly.
You can find your own user number by entering "id" at a terminal.

Mounting usb devices as non-root user ??

How can a non-root user mount a usb flash device?
As root, the device is mounted as:
mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1tod0s2:c /mnt
The vfstab entry for this is as follows:
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2:c /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2 /flash pcfs 2 no -
This is running Solaris 8 on a SunBlade150

Hello.
I had the same problem.
If you do not have root rights on the computer the answer is: You cannot mount the device.
I had root access and I wrote a C program that (un-)mounted all possible device files (the "s2" devices as well as the "s2:c" devices because some flash devices come without partition table).
I chowned the file to root and set the "set effective user ID" bit in the file's permissions using chmod after logging in as root - so any user can start the program.
I think this is the most flexible variant because USB devices sometimes are assigned other device names.

Non-root user can't start Apache on port 443

Today I've been attempting to get SSL working for my Oracle Applications 11i (11.5.10.2) installation and I just hit a small problem. I've followed all of the Oracle literature I've come across, which instructed me to create a new (non-root) user to own the database tier and the applications tier. I've also followed the instructions for configuring SSL ([Doc 123718.1|https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:6976756808231635106::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,123718.1,1,1,1,helvetica]) and the SSL wizard in OAM defaults to the standard HTTPS port (443). However, because 443 is a privileged port, a non-root user cannot bind to it. In other words, the Oracle literature itself has led me to an impossible situation. This is what I see in the Apache error log:
[Fri May 15 15:05:03 2009] [crit] (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to port 443
At this point, I see two choices:
1. Run the application tier services as root.
2. Change the SSL port to something greater than 1024 (i.e. 4443).
I'm leaning towards option #2, since option #1 negates the advantage of using a non-root user to begin with. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Does Oracle have any recommendations for this scenario?

Hi,
You just need to start Apache as root (not all the application services). For Option 1, the application tier files should be owned by applmgr/oracle user (not root), and for Option 2, you do not need to change the port (though it is valid option). Just follow the steps in the following document.
Note: 356080.1 - How to run Apache on Port 80 in Apps 11i
https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=356080.1
BTW, this is mentioned in the document "if you have chosen port 443 (or any port under 1024) for your SSL port, you will have to start Apache as root".

Hussein

Running as non-root user

How do I run the application server instance as non-root user on port <= 1024?
I am using Sun One Application Server 7.0
Thanks in advance
Sri.

Two options:
1) Start an instance using the root user, but configure the instance to switch to a non-root user upon startup. Use the "User" directive in the init.conf file of an instance to specify the user
http://docs.sun.com/source/816-7155-10/crinit.html#17116
You should also see the "Run As" setting of an instance in the administrative GUI.
2) Via the ndd command, you can set the smallest non-priveleged port number. See ndd documentation concerning the following setting:
tcp_smallest_nonpriv_port
Once you make the ndd setting, you can use a non-root user to listen on a port number that is equal to or greater than the value of the tcp_smallest_nonpriv_port setting.

I got the warning "there is a non-root user account with the UID 0 in your system" on installing some software and on running in the terminal... dscl . -list /Users UniqueID , there are indeed 2 users with UID 0, root and me who is admin too. Also cannot log in to keychain - related?

does this help?

Getting file descriptor counts as a non-root user

I have a number of scripts running on Solaris 8 and Solaris 10 systems that currently run as root in order to read file descriptor counts from various processes. currently they do something like: ls /proc/$PID/fd | wc -l to get a count of file descriptors for a given process $PID.
These scripts need to be migrated to run as a non-root user. This means that my method for obtaining file descriptors will only work if the script owner and process owner are the same - this is not always the case however.
For Solaris 10, I can assign the privilege proc_owner to the script owner - this works fine.
For Solaris 8 I'm stuck.
Does anyone have any idea how I can read a file descriptor count from an arbitrary process as a non-root user on Solaris 8 ?
Thanks,
Nick

For Solaris 8 I'm stuck.
Does anyone have any idea how I can read a file descriptor count from an
arbitrary process as a non-root user on Solaris 8 ?As I'm sure you suspect there isn't a way to get around the all privileges
or none arrangement in Solaris 8. One workaround option though is the
recently announced Solaris 8 Migration Assistant 1.0 which allows you to
run a Solaris 8 container on Solaris 10 SPARC systems. A good collection
of the relevant links are here:
http://blogs.sun.com/dp/entry/solaris_8_migration_assistant_1
With this option your Solaris 10 script process with the proc_owner
privilege could also be run against the processes in the Solaris 8
container.
Hope this helps.
