[CentOS] find out who accessed a file

Hey guys, Is there any way to find out the last user to access a file on a CentOS 6.5 system? Thanks Tim -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailma

[CentOS] user nobody can't access file

Hey guys, I need to give the 'nobody' user (which is what our apache runs as) no password access to a file, via sudo. This is what I've tried: nobody ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /var/www/qa/launchpadnew/site/ftp_check.php But if I become the nobody user and try to access the file, it tries to pro

[CentOS] iostat a partition

[CentOS] disk space trouble on ec2 instance

Hey all, Ok, so I've been having some trouble for a while with an EC2 instance running CentOS 5.11 with a disk volume reporting 100% usage. Root is on an EBS volume. So I've tried the whole 'du -sk | sort -nr | head -10' routine all around this volume getting rid of files. At first I was gett

[CentOS] selinux allow FTP

Hey folks, How would I allow a user to connect to an FTP server, upload and download files and delete files as well, if that server is in enforcing mode for SELinux? I'm using proftpd 1.3.5 on CentOS 7. Thank you! Tim -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B _

Re: [CentOS] selinux allow FTP

Re: [CentOS] selinux allow FTP

Guys, I hear all your arguments against using FTP. I completely get all that. But I am making things a little bit safer by using virtual users that have no access to the file system. The ftp user account has a shell of /bin/false. And I was able to get proftpd working with SELinux using setsebool

[CentOS] SELinux kills Cassandra based website

Hey all, There's a website I help run that uses the Cassandra DB as its database. I notice that if I run the web server in SELinux permissive mode, the site works fine. But if I put it into enforcing mode, the site goes down with this error: Warning: require_once(/McFrazier/PhpBinaryCql/CqlClien
