&lt;p&gt;At any Linux/Unix forum a large number of posts have to do with sed and awk - how do I do this, how do I do that?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can see using sed.   It's quick, it's simple  (unless we are doing something complicated) and easy to learn.   On the other hand, we have "awk", which is nasty and error prone even in its most basic invocations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This post was prompted by a forum posting at another site where someone had a script that echoed "Pass' or "Fail"  and he wanted "Pass" in green and "Fail" in Red.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A customer reported that a Linux machine used for ssh access (to in turn give telnet access to an ancient SCO machine) was refusing logins.   I asked him to try logging in as root at the console; he was unable to do so.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I arrived on site, I found that I could not login as he had said.  I rebooted to single use mode and started peeking around.  The machine had been hacked; there was little doubt about that.  It's HOW it was hacked that bothers me,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yesterday a customer called because he needed to be able to write into a certain share on his Samba server.  I ssh'd right in, made the change to the config file, restarted Samba  and shot him off an "All set!" email.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Such confidence had I that immediately after hitting send, I left my house to do some errands and when I realized I had forgotten my phone, I didn't even bother to go back for it:  everything is under control, all pigs are fed and ready to fly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I admit that I have done a "chmod 777" when I should not have.  Almost always that came from haste or frustration.  Not frustration with Unix permissions, but frustration with whoever had daily care responsibility for the system - their inability to understand permissions might have driven me to this.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sometimes it hardly matters.  At many small businesses, everybody has "got root"  anyway and has learned that this magic incantation will "fix" problems.   Well, until it breaks a setuid program, of course.  Nobody, NOBODY ever learns "chmod +w", do they?&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Prevent deletion or moving of files  by Anthony Lawrence</title>

&lt;p&gt;You need to let users create files in a common directory, but you don't want them to be able to delete other's files.  Or you've put certain files, directories or symlinks into a user's home directory and don't want them to be able to mess with any of those.  What can you do?&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;"t" bit&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you create /foo and do "chmod 1777 /foo", you'll have a world-writeable directory with the "text bit" set.  Any user can create files here, but they can only delete files that they own (root can still rm anything).   That's ownership as listed in the "owner" column of an "ls -l".   Group ownership doesn't  come into play here although it does change responses a bit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am working on building a Linux box to replace our old SCO Openserver machine, and I had a spare Digi host card and concentrator, so I needed to install &amp;amp; configure those. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 was not listed, so I called Tech Support to ask which version I should try.  The tech said to try dgap-1.3-15.src.rpm, the most recent beta version of dgap from Digi's website. He said that if I wanted support I would have to pay $75, as the PCI host card whose serial # I gave to him had its warranty expire in 2004. Fine, I proceeded on my own, as usual.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, given that I installed RHEL 5.3 from rpms, and did not
compile my own kernel, I figured that I would be missing some packages,
but it turned into a major pain. First of all, Digi's instructions
require rpmbuild, so thanks to pbone.net, I got
rpm-build-4.4.2.3-9.el5.i386.rpm, and that installed nicely. Then, the
dgap source said that it needed elfutils, so I eventually found the
elfutils matching my version on RHEL5 elfutils-0.137-3.el5.i386.rpm.
Oddly, when I checked rpm -qa | grep elfutils, my RHEL5 had
elfutils-libelf-0.137-3.el5 and elfutils-libs-0.137-3.el5, but not just
the plain elfutils.... Whatever, that rpm'ed fine. But then, the dgap
install got most of the way finished, and complained that it needed
curses (funny, I had already been providing some of those!). When I
checked my rpms, I had ncurses but not curses. I tried setting curses as
a symlink to the most recent ncurses library but that did not work. I
Googled around, and one linux site said that I needed the ncurses-devel
package, but when I downloaded and tried to rpm that one, it said that
it needed some other libraries, so I decided to go home at that point.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>How to use multiple consoles in Single User mode  by Anthony Lawrence</title>

&lt;p&gt;Single user mode (init 1, init S) is sometimes necessary but inconvenient.
Why not have tty2 (or any other tty) available to use with the console Alt-Function keys?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the old SCO systems, I could just do &lt;a href="http://aplawrence.com/SCOFAQ/FAQ_scotec6init4.html"&gt;"init 4"&lt;/a&gt; and that would enable all 
the virtual consoles.   Linux systems don't provide this capability so directly, 
but it's easy enough to get what you want.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>SELinux:; Tech Words of the Day </title>

&lt;p&gt;SELinux is a &lt;a href="http://aplawrence.com/Words/2004_12_20.html"&gt;Mandatory Access Control&lt;/a&gt; system.
You can get an idea of how you'd configure this at my &lt;a href="http://aplawrence.com/Linux/basic_selinux.html"&gt;Selinux on FC5&lt;/a&gt; article even though it's a few years old, but before you read that, just let me put on my flame proof suit here... ok, I'm ready:  I almost always disable SELinux sooner or later.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yeah, really.   I think SELinux is a wonderful, wonderful idea.  If used 
properly, it really can help make your system more secure. My problem 
is that it doesn't get used properly.   So upgrades get done and the 
people who do the scripts forget all about SELinux and what YOU get is 
a broken app or a broken system.   This happens all too frequently, and unless you are 
willing to have constant vigilance, SELinux (or lack of due digilence 
with regard to it), will bite you sooner or later.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Facetwin logs wrong ownership  by Bill Mohrhardt</title>

&lt;p&gt; I have about 600 files in my shared drive /1/users/prog. Now, I unfortunately created many of those files when I was logged in as root. So, each time I call up a File Browser window on my Linux box to view /mnt/narcoa/1/users/prog, Facetwin writes a message to /usr/adm/syslog every time it finds a file in my /1/users/prog that has ownership other than prog! I often wondered why there was such a delay in building the window. I did a series of chown &amp;amp; chgrp, and removed some really old files, and now the window comes up in one-tenth of the time. I really need to check other users' shared drives as well, this is one big reason why my /usr/adm/syslog gets so bloated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wonder how many of us dinosaurs are out there who might benefit from it? I think it is an issue unique to Facetwin, but I have not tried samba yet, so maybe that wastes time updating similar logs. I have similar messages that come up in the case of one machine shared by multiple users. The /etc/rc.local executes the smbmount as one user, but when another user is logged on, and browses the shared drive, the /usr/adm/syslog is like the energizer bunny, it keeps going, and going....&lt;/p&gt;
