Talk:New Plugger How To

sudo

I moved the rootfs supplied with a recently delivered SheevaPlug to a SDHC card and created a new userid. When I tried to get sudo working, I got the error sudo: must be setuid root. It appears the permissions on /usr/bin/sudo were incorrect.

root@debian:~# cd /usr/bin
root@debian:/usr/bin# ls -l sudo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 114976 Nov 15  2008 sudo
root@debian:/usr/bin# chmod +s sudo
root@debian:/usr/bin# ls -l sudo
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 114976 Nov 15  2008 sudo

Has anyone else seen this problem?

/tmp

My /tmp was set to 755 permissions. A quick check of my x86 Ubuntu Hardy box shows 1777 permissions. Any idea why the strange permissions on the plug? It caused problems with mod_mono shared memory.

Apt Dirs

My solution is: 1. nano /etc/rc.local

1a. comment out "#mkdir -p /var/cache/apt/archives/partial"

1b. put /etc/mkaptdirs

2. nano /etc/mkaptdirs

2a. put this there:

#!/bin/bash
if [ -d "/var/cache/apt/archives/" ]; then
 if [ -d "/var/cache/apt/archives/partial" ]; then
   #ok
 else
  mkdir /var/cache/apt/archives/partial
 fi
else
 mkdir -p /var/cache/apt/archives/partial
fi

2b. chmod 755 /etc/mkaptdirs

3. Ready - will make dir only in not already exist
