Simply create a new user and a new group:
sudo adduser foo
Then, change the group of the file:
sudo chgrp foo /app/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf
And add the write permission:
sudo chmod 664 /app/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf
Executing /app/syslog-ng/sbin/syslog-ng should, according to the ...
On this answer, what does it take for ldap user to run these commands given in answer... does it require to add an entry in sudoers file?
@Kusalananda I did not get why sudo is used in the answer? Generally sysadmin(root) should run useradd commands. Isn't it?
@overexchange I would advise using more your head and relying less on people doing the heavy thinking for you. It will be so much harder to learn things if you keep doing it as you have been doing. Usually the learning curve is a bit steep, but as soon you are higher up in the curve, the perspective will change.
Question to those who've used Git Bash for windows: I'm trying to make a symbolic link to my desktop. When navigated to the desktop, if I create a file it shows going through on the command line, but it does not actually create a file. It does create an instanced version of said desktop
I would think it would have to do with my link not being correct, however if I create a file on my actual desktop it does show up in that instanced version too
@Kusalananda Like anything that is always there, once the novelty wears off...I am a bit demanding with my web user experience, I often adblock elements of pages pretty much everywhere.
Would you guys mind if I ask a short question, that I don't think is worth of a full question on the site? (Should it be more than a tiny oversight or similar, then I'll naturally turn it into a site question)
The dpkg-query command has the nice -f option And among the avaliable fields are the fields Filename, Size, MD5sum, but they are empty Am I just using the command incorrectly, or what's up with that?
But no, this sounds like it really would be better on the site. Both because that's where questions belong and because this chat isn't very active. You'll get way more eyballs on the site
I don't have access to a Debian machine at the moment (I use Arch) but I tried on an Ubuntu server and it complained about dpkg-query: error: unknown option -M
I'm currently trying to get some info about the installed pakages und systems that use dpkg. So I tried to use dpkg-query. Most placeholders work fine and I get what I need, however I noticed that the placeholders Filename, MD5sum and Size are always empty.
Simple command to see the issue:

I should note that I need a portable solution. Aka I only have sh and the very basic utils available, as that script is designed to be run on as many different systems as possible (the user will know about that. Not spyware but monitoring)
I'm trying to collect all packages installed through dpkg in a JSON file.
I tried this script:
echo [ > installed_packages.json
dpkg-query -W -f '{"name":"${binary:Package}","version":"${Version}","short_description":"${binary:Summary}","description":"${Description}","author":"${Maintainer}","l...
To launch a root shell on machines where the root account is disabled, you can run one of:
sudo -i : run an interactive login shell (reads /root/.bashrc and /root/.profile)
sudo -s : run a non-login interactive shell (reads /root/.bashrc)

@FaheemMitha that’s what’s “funny” about the quip: you can disembowel a kitten with any tool eventually (basically you end up using your hands), it’s just horrific for the kitten
@overexchange The user rightly uses sudo since they assume that you are not using an interactive root shell. Working at an interactive root shell is not something that you would like to do for several reasons, for example, if you forgot to exit the shell, a coworker or somebody else may access the session as root, and also because it's easy to make mistakes (everyone makes them) and mistakes made as root are obviously more dangerous than mistakes made by an unprivileged user.
Evil thought of thay...starting creating a MySQL admin user called Administrator ....maybe some customers start annoying the Windows team if MySQL links to AD
@William This would probably be possible in vim, if one's able to rebind the page up/down to work as ctrl+u/d... I can't unfortunately test anything right now.
