Procmail as local MDA in cronjob - suid or not?

Hi board,
I am using (and maintaining) the logcheck package on AUR (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8426). This periodically greps various logfiles for suspicious messages and, if it finds some, sends them (with mime-construct (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34903)) to admin. Recently I am getting "insufficient privileges" errors from procmail in the process. I think - but I don't fully understand the code of the programs involved - that mime-constructs is trying to use procmail (or my esmtp's sendmail?) but procmail is run without the necessary privileges to deliver mail to admin's mailbox. (Or with insufficient privileges to pick up some temporary file?)
Now, on procmail's manpage it says that using procmail as an MDA requires procmail's suid bit set, which is not the case in our distribution. I was not able to find out if this has changed recently or has always been the case. (A possibly relevant bugreport (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14410) with 'works for me' status.) If I chmod u+s procmail, then the whole thing works. Now the question is: Is this at the core a general issue, calling for a bugreport in procmail, or is it a special case, and if so, should I perhaps be using another method of getting it to work?
Thanks for any comment.

Please also check the F1 help for the package field e.g. in SE80, SAP standard is in range A-S and U-X, namespaces start with "/", so you should be save. I am using the T namespace for temporary stuff since a long time and did not have a problem so far.

Thank you very much for this remark, I checked F1 help for the package field and in fact as you mentioned these ranges are for local objects.
Once again, thank you very much for your help.

Error: 3816: Local System Creation during install was not successful.

Hello,
This is our first time installing Oracle Wokflow 2.6.3 Standalone.
We are having problems with the Event Manager.
When we access the event manager pages:
pls/wf/wf_event_html.listevents?resetcookie=T
pls/wf/wf_event_html.listsystems?resetcookie=T
etc.
We get this error:
Error: 3816: Local System Creation during install was not successful. Please review the install log file for errors.
Error Stack:
WF_EVENT_HTML.isAccessible(EVENTS)
WF_EVENT_HTML.ListEvents()
     The installation was successful.
     We cannot change the Local System in the Global Workflow Preferences option.
     The table WF_systems is empty.
     Should the local system appear in this table?
Thanks

Software component sap.com/LM-TOOLS with version 7.00.9.3 is found on the system but in the stack it is listed with version 7.00.9.0.
Software component sap.com/SAP-JEECOR with version 7.00.9.1 is found on the system but in the stack it is listed with version 7.00.9.0.
You are trying to upgrade a system with the lower version of sap.com/LM-TOOLS and sap.com/SAP-JEECOR. The other thing I notice is that if you are upgrading to EhP4/EhP1 NW then the version of LM and SAP-JEECOR should look something like 7.01.3.0.
Are you using MOPZ to download EhP's ? As the error message says synchronize the system with SAP Solution Manager and then generate a new stack file.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

What action dom i take for this error message "C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\physics.pdf could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences"?

I get this message when I try to download a pdf file from a website.
"C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\physics.pdf could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences."
This is a new error. There used to be no problem.

Do you have any setting for MP3 in Tools > Options > Applications ?
You usually need the QuickTime plugin to play MP3 files on Windows because that is the only plugin that supports that file extension if there is no MIME type specified to play the file with another plugin like Windows Media Player or RealPlayer.

Creating a symlink directory on a network share to a path below a mapped drive letter, local path, or UNC path does not work

Am I correct in assuming I can not create a `symlinkd` to a network share, local path, or a UNC path on a network share that will be accessible by clients?
###Mapped drive letters don't work:
1) navigate to a network share:
pushd \\windows2008server\share\
2) make a hardlink:
mklink /d test_sharedir t:\directory\
dir .\test_sharedir
#Directory of Z:\test_sharedir
#File Not Found
UNC paths don't work:
1) navigate to a network share:
pushd \\windows2008server\share\
2) make a symlink:
mklink /d test_dirunc \\windows2008server\share
dir .\test_dirunc
#Directory of Z:\test_dirunc
#File Not Found
I can create a functional `symlinkd` on a local drive to a mapped drive letter or a UNC path.
Are my assumptions above correct?
We are in the middle of a migration and have created two symlinkd to UNC paths for shared DLLs, one below c:\windows\system32\ (directing to a share containing 64-bit DLLs) and one below c:\windows\syswow64 (directing to a share containing 32-bit DLLs).
On the file server, we have had a path to 32-bit DLLs (from Windows 7 clients: s:\dll\). I am attempting to rename this directory so that it is accessible via "s:\dll32\" and would like to create a symlinkd that links "s:\dll" to
"s:\dll32" [again where S: is a mapped drive on a Windows 2008 server]. How do I do this?
Thanks,
Matt

Hello Mandy,
The link you sent me is for Netapp CIFS server daemon contained within DataOnTap (the Netapp OS) to follow symlinks. I am inquiring about the Microsoft products Windows Server and Windows 7.
To gain a better understanding of the Microsoft Windows Server and client (Windows) CIFS stacks and interaction of the stacks, I have referred to Figure 6 "Server Message Block Server Model" within the following (albeit older) document: http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/8/0/2800a518-7ac6-4aac-bd85-74d2c52e1ec6/tuning.doc
You will see the following:
I assume that the Windows Server CIFS server service must be "smart enough" to determine that a CIFS client is attempting access to a SYMLINKD and actually fill the request by following the SYMLINKD. The CIFS server service does not appear
to operate like this.
1) Am I correct in my assumption that the CIFS client (redirector) and the CIFS server (server) do not following symbolic links (whether they be file or directory)?
2) If not, how do I submit a feature request for this so that it can be reviewed and approved or not approved for inclusion/hotfix release?
Thanks for your time,
Matt Brown
[UPDATE]
Note that you can use a `directory junction` instead of using a SYMLINKD, to link to LOCAL resources (source). However, `directory junctions` do not allow access to resources over UNC.

How can I delete local schedule tasks, if they do not show up in the left ARD pain

In ARD you can schedule task on the local machine.
Usually you can see the scheduled task in the left pain of the main window.
I deleated some schedules tasks, but the tasks continue excute every morning.
Is the a way to find these invisable scheduled tasks and remove them.
I would be happy to know if a data base needs to be edited or a file deleated
Cheers
Gifford

what dose the invisible task do?

C:\users\owwner\AppData\local\apple\applesoftwareupdate\itunes64.msi can not be found

itunes on my boys computer got corrupt. I believe it was when I tried updating. Anyhow, I have downloaded teh current itunes file from apple and when I install it a window comes up that says it can not find C;\users\owner\appdata\local\apple\applesoftwareupdate\itunes64.msi
I have done a search all over the computer and that file does not exist. I tried repairing itunes in control panel and it comes up with the same message. I tried deleting itunes in control panel and the same thing.
I tried deleting all files that contained itunes or apple in my compter because I thought there might be some hidden file that was saying there was an older version still installed and keeping if from installing right.
Any ideas how to get itunes back on this computer? It will not load.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

The Report Server page comes up on local server, but the page does not open from clients

Hello,
The Report Server Page opens up just fine on the local server, but page does not open up from desktops and client PCs. SSRS is installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server and with SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2
Clients are using IE 11 and they see:
Oops! Internet Explorer could not connect to tumdv-fsql01
How can make this site accessible from clients?
Thanks
Paul

That did not work.
What port numbers specifically does SSRS use? I will check the firewall.
http://100.100.100.100/CengeaReports/Pages/Folder.aspx
When I add the IP Address and try the link again, IE says "This page can not be displayed". When I try the Fix connection problems, IE says:
"The website is online, but it is not responding to connection attempts."

Testing local is fine, but online is not working

I made a gallery and tested locally (inside flash mx
environment) and it's working great. It can connect the database
(my web hosting is mediatemple) with no problem. Sending and
receving queries are okay too.
But when I upload this file online (swf), somehow it doesnt
work at all.. it returns an error message when loading the php.
I do retrieveXML.onLoad = function (success), it returns
false.
I'm pretty sure the path to php is correct because I sue the
absolute path.
Any idea?
For your reference:
http://ivankandi.com/fusion/retrieve.swf
Thank you

Sorry but with that limited bit I can't give you much help.
One thing that is strange is to just post it as a swf. I don't know
if that is part of the problem or not. But generally it should be
embedded in an html page. That is the first thing that I would try.
It might also allow the browser to catch an error message –
or maybe not.
The other frequent cause of "it works in the testing
environment, but not online" is that you haven't coded it properly
to wait for external resources to load completely.
I'm not sure exactly which class you are using, but does your
code include myXML.onLoad or some such?

Local Interfaces in WebLogic 7.0 Not Faster Than Remote Interfaces?

I was curious how much faster calling business methods in
a stateless session EJB in WebLogic 7.0 would be through
a local interface than calling the same business methods
through a remote interface. I timed both ways of calling
the same methods and much to my surprise the times were
nearly identical. I double-checked that in one case I really
used the local interface (using ejb-local-ref, local-jndi-name,
local interfaces in source code). Does anybody (perhaps from
BEA) have an explanation for this? By the way, I ran the
same experiment with other J2EE application servers such
as IBM's WebSphere 5 (Beta) and there was a tremendous
performance difference between local and remote interface
usage.
Thanks,
Reinhard

"Reinhard Klemm" <[email protected]> wrote in message

I appreciate your response and, at the same time, I am somewhat
surprised about it. Here are the reasons for my surprise:
1. Your response indicates that WebLogic uses RMI for
EJB local method calls, i.e., even if the client is on the same VM.
I would have assumed that WebLogic would bypass RMI in such
a situation.That is not what I said. Local interfaces wont use rmi.
But remote interfaces do better if the call is from the same VM. This is
weblogic rmi optimization. Please see Rob's posting also.
2. Other J2EE application servers fare a lot better. In one
experiment, I timed WebLogic against WebSphere 5.0 Technology
for Developers (i.e., WebSphere 5.0 Beta, which is expressly
NOT for performance testing) and against the Sun Reference
Implementation. Here are the numbers for calling business
methods in a stateless session EJB through its local interface:
WebLogic: 5.15 ms on the average
WebSphere: 0.41 ms on the average
Sun Reference Implementation: 0.11 ms on the average
This indicates to me that both WebSphere and the Sun Reference
Implementation are better optimized than WebLogic by excluding
RMI when making local EJB calls.

Can you post some numbers so that we can visualize the difference.
Please add the numbers with other J2EE appserver also.
Otherwise top of my head, the reason is:
Weblogic rmi is well optimized for the calls with in the same JVM andsame
J2EE application.
This could be the reason you are not seeing much difference.

How can I listen to the local radio on my ipod when not on wifi?

I used to have an ipod nano and was able to listen to local stations on the radio without being connected to wifi and now I have an ipod touch and no longer have that option. Is there anyway that I can listen to the local radio stations on my ipod touch without being connected to wifi. I know there is an adapter that I can get to plug into my car to listen to the radio on my ipod but I have a radio in my car so that defeats the purpose.
If anyone knows a solution please let me know.

do they have an adapter that doesn't require that it be plugged into the car, just the phone. Also if they do what is it called and where can I get one.

Local client copy profile SAP_CUSV: Configuration not working

Dear Experts,
My configuration client is 350 and my new client is 100 in same DEV system. Client 100 is copied from client 000 with profile SAP_ALL. Then I created a local copy from 350 using profile SAP_CUSV into same client 100. After that I am facing issues under HCM module. All the HCM configuration that works well in 350 does not work in client 100 even the standard header configuration of PA30 does not work. All the customizing entries are however present in HCM configuration tables but system seems not to read anything from HCM configuration. Apart from screen headers, the configuration done by consultant also has conflicts and system shows an error to maintain entries in tables which are already maintained and visible in configuration tables in 100. An example of error in which system gives error of maintaining Payscale Type and Payscale Area in table T510 is attached where as the entries are maintained in given table.
Best Regards,

Hi,
Please check the following notes.

Please help ASAP, as this is effecting our testing team. I have tried to copy individual tables also using a transport request number and SCC1 to copy it to the target client. This is also taking quite a long time.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Abdul,
What does your system log say ?
Check this SAP Note
Note 579783 - CC ERROR: Loss of data - table not copied
run the report RSCC_VERIFY to check if the table is consistent within the source client.
SAP will only provide support for RSCC_VERIFY messages if there is a specific problem in an application in the target client that can be assigned immediately to the messages.
RSCC_VERIFY is delivered with SAPKB46B49, SAPKB46C35 and SAPKB46D24. In older releases, you can create the report in the ABAP editor (transaction SE38) in accordance with the attached advance correction. Use the development class or the STRM package for this.

Select from local (tmp) Table in Function - Table not found

Hi,
I want to create a cursor which selects from a Table which does not exist in database.
I create this table as local table (how is it called? nested table?).
Not shown in the code but I want to fill this local table later.
After filled my cursor is going to use this filled table.
When try to run I get the error Table or View does not exist at the "FROM TempTab_var T1;" of my cursor.
This is my simplified code:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION PC_RL_MTA_PMT
RETURN PC_RL_MTA_TYPE_PMT
IS
result_out PC_RL_MTA_TYPE_PMT;
TYPE TempTab_record_type IS RECORD
    (ID int);
TYPE TempTab_type IS TABLE OF TempTab_record_type
          INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
TempTab_var TempTab_type;
CURSOR TempCursor3_var IS
    SELECT    ID AS ID_var
    FROM    TempTab_var T1;
BEGIN
RETURN result_out;
END PC_RL_MTA_PMT;
Any Ideas whats wrong?
Thanks very much in advance.

Disk image can mount from local terminal with "open" command but not via ssh

I have a disk image "backup_image.sparsebundle". If I go to the terminal on my machine and type "open backup_image.sparsebundle" the disk image mounts as expected. No problems. If I secure shell (ssh) log in from a remote Mac and execute the same "open backup_image.sparsebundle" a warning dialog pops up and states that "The following disk images couldn't be opened" followed by my disk name. This is incredibly odd because it used to work just fine. I didn't think there were any ACL differences between a local terminal shell and remote ssh. I mean a shell is a shell right? Or, it used to be and now it isn't? I'm not doing anything obviously incorrect (to me); I'm the same user locally and remotely, same path to disk image. This used to work fine before Mountain Lion.
Background: All of this started because I wrote a script that would ssh in to a remote machine, open the disk image on that remote machine, mount it across the network over afp and rsync. If I leave the disk image mounted on the remote machine, the script runs fine but if the image is close and I try to remotely open the image as I always did, it fails. The only thing that has changed in the system is, now, both machines are running Mountain Lion. Odd.
Suggestions?

Storing the password for the remote disk image in the local keychain of the computer running the script (in to a variable), then passing it accross to the remote machine worked. I'm not sure why all of this changed moving from Lion to Mountain Lion but I suppose it is slightly more secure.
To programatically mount and sync a remote encrypted disk:
#!/bin/bash
if [ -n "`mount | grep ~/sync`" ]; then
echo "Already mounted"
else
pw=$(security -v find-generic-password -w -D "application password")
ssh -o ConnectTimeout=1 [email protected] "echo $pw | hdiutil attach /Users/user/backup_image.sparsebundle"
mkdir ~/sync
mount_afp -s "afp://matdup01:[email protected]/Disk Image" ~/sync
fi
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Mount succeeded!"
else
echo "Mount Failed"
exit 0
fi
rsync -vrxtu --delete-before --exclude _* "/Volumes/Media/new Media/" ~/sync/new\ media/
umount ~/sync
rmdir ~/sync
exit
