• Error 13 when packing a bundle.

    From Bill McGarrity@1:266/404 to Digital Man on Tue Feb 21 00:44:00 2017
    Hiya DM...

    Using: SBBSecho 3.00-Linux r3.28 Feb 8 2017 GCC 4.9.2 invoked with options: -linf

    The past two days I have been getting Error 13 in a few bundles sbbsecho is trying to create. I am contributing these to possible permission level for each BSO bundle. Problem is, it doesn't happen all the time... only with an imported file using smbutil. Sometimes the bundle gets zip'd correctly, other times I get the Error 13 as shown below.

    Example of a good packing...

    Take a look at your /home/pi/binkd-1.1/sportnet/outbound directory with:

    ls -alh

    Then check the permissions on 00960001.hlo specifically. You may need to use chown to change the permissions of that file so that it will continue. And with

    that said, you mentioned it seems to happen on locally imported messages with smbutil. Make sure all of your scripts that use smbutil are executed by the user you want these file permissions to be, or things will start going haywire.

    Looks like at some point something accessed 00960001.hlo and changed the permission. Did you accidentally run smbutil with root at one point when testing to see if it would work from the command line before setting a script in motion?

    OK... I'm running the bash script we discussed a week or so under crontab.
    I would agree with your assesment as rar as root but why does it work for
    some zipped bundles and not others? In the script I use chmod 777 to the
    .txt files created by perl so they have ALL access.

    Looks like at some point something accessed 00960001.hlo and changed
    the permission. Did you accidentally run smbutil with root at one
    point when testing to see if it would work from the command line
    before setting a script in motion?

    Again, if that was the case smbutil being run as root, why would it not
    effect the other bundles being made to other nodes?


    I'll do the ls -alh later and see what's going on.

    Thanks...

    What user created the 00960001.hlo file? What are the permissions on the file? Can you paste the output from "ls -l /home/pi/binkd-1.1/sportnet/outbound" here?

    Also, chmod only makes the file readable/writable/executable. It does not set ownership. "chown" sets the user and group. You shouldn't really need to chmod anything as sbbsecho creates the proper read/write capabilities. However, you may need to "chown -R <user>.<group> <directory>/*" if something is changing ownership.

    I'll do the ls -alh later and see what's going on.

    If you do choose to continue to use chmod (aside from chown), you may want to consider using either 666 (-rw-rw-rw-) = readable and writable to all, 664 (-rw-rw-r--) = readable and writable for file owner and group, and readable to everyone else, or even 660 (-rw-rw----) if you want it for that specific user and group only. Your outbound directory's contents do not need to be executable

    (which the 7 adds).

    It varied. I'm going through doing chmod's on the ones that seem to be giving me problems. Two nights ago it was 5 .hlo files, last n ight it was two that I tracked down and manually did a chmod on them. I'll hopefully see tonight if there are more.

    Nick was kind enough to give teh same advice as you. I'll get it worked out and thanks so much for the reply.

    chmod most likely isn't needed at all, since sbbsecho creates those files with workable permissions. It's most likely something being ran (whether it be sbbsecho or smbutil) was accidentally used by root at one point, or binkd was accidentally ran as root once or something.. but chown should probably fix this

    at some point.

    Unfortunately you'll probably have to go through and make sure your entire sbbs

    directory is owned by the "pi" user and whatever group it belongs to for things

    to work properly. Rather than looking everywhere with "ls -alh" you can simply run "chown -R <user>.<group> /home/<user>/sbbs/*" without quotes. If binkd is not under your sbbs heirarchy, you probably want to do the same for that directory as well.

    A crontab created by the specific user, and not root.. correct?
    Meaning you did

    "crontab -e" as the user you wish to run as (with no sudo).

    Yes, no sudo. it's under Pi

    I take it "Pi" is your user? Is that what you login with? Or is it "alarmpi" or

    "pi" or .. I'm not sure what your actual user is.

    OK.. let me check that tonight to see if there are any further issues.

    Ok.

    I'll fine tune it once I get this issue resolved. First play on the
    BIG field then downsize.. LOL!!

    Permissions and ownership have always been a pain in the ass. I eventually just

    ran everything as root, since it's only a Rpi, and it only contains BBS related

    stuff. If some retard really wants to try to guess my (quite) long root password, they can have at it. :)

    Appreciate your help...

    No problemo. Besides the current development of software I use here, this is one of the very few things keeping interest in the hobby these days. :)

    Hiya Nick...

    So then the problem seems to be when the file is created. Is
    something else touching that file besides sbbsecho?

    Yes, but last night instead of the 5 or 6 errors I was getting, there
    was only two so I isolated those and did a chmod as well.

    chmod most likely isn't needed at all, since sbbsecho creates those
    files with workable permissions. It's most likely something being ran (whether it be sbbsecho or smbutil) was accidentally used by root at
    one point, or binkd was accidentally ran as root once or something..
    but chown should probably fix this

    at some point.

    Unfortunately you'll probably have to go through and make sure your
    entire sbbs

    directory is owned by the "pi" user and whatever group it belongs to
    for things

    to work properly. Rather than looking everywhere with "ls -alh" you can simply run "chown -R <user>.<group> /home/<user>/sbbs/*" without
    quotes. If binkd is not under your sbbs heirarchy, you probably want to
    do the same for that directory as well.

    A crontab created by the specific user, and not root.. correct?
    Meaning you did

    "crontab -e" as the user you wish to run as (with no sudo).

    Yes, no sudo. it's under Pi

    I take it "Pi" is your user? Is that what you login with? Or is it "alarmpi" or

    "pi" or .. I'm not sure what your actual user is.

    OK.. let me check that tonight to see if there are any further issues.

    Ok.

    I'll fine tune it once I get this issue resolved. First play on the
    BIG field then downsize.. LOL!!

    Permissions and ownership have always been a pain in the ass. I
    eventually just

    ran everything as root, since it's only a Rpi, and it only contains BBS related

    stuff. If some retard really wants to try to guess my (quite) long root password, they can have at it. :)

    Appreciate your help...

    No problemo. Besides the current development of software I use here,
    this is one of the very few things keeping interest in the hobby these days. :)

    OK... I modified all scripts for now to do a chown as there were still some bundles being created by sbbsecho as root. I will see tonight once the cron runs.

    Isn't this fun!! lol!!

    Thank God I still ahve a full head of hair...

    I am running Synchronet on Ubuntu and have had trouble with file ownership. I usually have to chown -R ftn:ftn /sbbs at various times. when I installed the software, sbbsecho ran as ftn and sbbs ran as root. Once I changed sbbs to run as ftn user, everything worked.

    Hiya Kurt...

    I am running Synchronet on Ubuntu and have had trouble with file ownership. I usually have to chown -R ftn:ftn /sbbs at various times.
    when I installed the software, sbbsecho ran as ftn and sbbs ran as
    root. Once I changed sbbs to run as ftn user, everything worked.

    I checked the sbbs/exec folder and did a ls-l and all executables were
    listed pi:pi so I know sbbsecho isn't running as root. I am not running
    sbbs but using sbbsecho standalone. binkd is run as pi and in the group pi.

    I've edited all the bash scripts I use here to do a chown while they are running to make sure everything in the folders are pi:pi. The test is
    tonight.

    Thanks

    .

    to work properly. Rather than looking everywhere with "ls -alh" you
    can simply run "chown -R <user>.<group> /home/<user>/sbbs/*" without quotes. If binkd is not under your sbbs heirarchy, you probably want

    Just an FYI....

    The changes I made to the bash scripts adding the chown did the trick. Everything zipped properly in the bundles...

    Thanks so much!!

    Thank you for the input, it is indeed a key factor when running the sbbs services. However in this specific case he's not running sbbs at all. He's using sbbsecho as a standalone tosser without any of Synchronet's other services.

    And soon it will all be second nature. It takes a little getting used to, but once you do it becomes just as easy as Windows. Especially when you dive in and

    use the CLI, as you're forced to figure things out and learn the proper command

    line useage, unlike installing a full GUI desktop where most of the hard stuff is taken care of for you.

    I have an old Solaris handbook I've been "reviewing". Still basic unix with some differences as linux is probably well ahead of that after 20 years.. :)

    hard stuff is taken care of for you.

    The Pi has a GUI... looks pretty and on my other one ( connected it to my
    50" in the bedroom, I even installed SyncTerm... and the damn ing is
    running!! lol. Wonders never cease!!

    Now that everything seems to be running fine for now... I'm going to take a weekend off and relax. I'm still waiting for that 'fix' DM said he was
    going to take care of with sbbsecho and the %unlinked command.

    Till then!! be well my friend...
