Change Group Name when using Automake - makefile

I'm new to the automake tools. When I issue 'make install', I want files to change their group name and not the default group of the installer (user). I have a install-exec-hook rule at my root Makefile.am that says:
chgrp -R $(GROUP) *
The problem is, I want the user to define GROUP, and if they do not, use the user's default group. I've been trying to use AC_DEFINE, AC_SUBST and other options and can't find anything to work.

This worked for me. In configure.ac, I added:
test -z "$GROUP" && GROUP=$USER
AC_SUBST(GROUP_NAME, $GROUP)
and in Makefile.am, I added:
install-exec-hook:
chgrp -R #GROUP_NAME# ${exec_prefix}
Now to specify the groupname, the user can do ./configure GROUP=GROUPNAME_TO_USE

Files are not installed from recipe

I'm trying to create a custom recipe to sign a u-boot image generated from u-boot.bb.
I have 2 custom recipes:
1. u-boot.bb - clones, compiles and deploys u-boot resulting u-boot.elf.
2. u-boot-sign.bb - depends on u-boot.bb. Gets u-boot.elf, passes it through
custom signing procedure and deploys the result.
For signing I am forced to use a custom procedure which is in a form of python scripts located in external repository.
The part which causes a problem is accessing a deployed u-boot.elf binary file from u-boot.bb recipe. I cannot find a way to expose u-boot.elf binary file to a u-boot-sign.bb recipe.
What should be the correct way of exposing an image binary file from one recipe, to be accessed, signed and deployed in another recipe?
For the purpose of sharing the files between recipes and between cross-compilation scope, I used ${datadir} when installing the binaries (via do_install). This allowed me to access all files described by FILES:${PN} via recipe-sysroot.
u-boot.bb - exporting recipe:
…
do_install() {
install -d ${D}${datadir}/u-boot-2016/
install -m 0644 ${B}/${UBOOT_ELF_BINARY} ${D}${datadir}/u-boot-2016
}
FILES:${PN} = "${datadir}/u-boot-2016"
…
u-boot-sign.bb - depending recipe
…
DEPENDS += " u-boot python3-native"
do_sign() {
${STAGING_BINDIR_NATIVE}/python3-native/python3 sign.py \
-i ${RECIPE_SYSROOT}${datadir}/u-boot-2016/${UBOOT_ELF_BINARY}
}
…
Inspiration from Here
Edit
I was advised not to transfer files like this using ${datadir}. For intermediate files the better approach would be to use to use /firmware as it is done in meta-arm.
u-boot.bb - exporting recipe:
…
do_install() {
install -D -p -m 0644 ${B}/${UBOOT_ELF_BINARY} ${D}/firmware/${UBOOT_ELF_BINARY}
}
FILES:${PN} = "/firmware"
SYSROOT_DIRS += "/firmware"
…
u-boot-sign.bb - depending recipe
…
DEPENDS += " u-boot python3-native"
do_sign() {
${STAGING_BINDIR_NATIVE}/python3-native/python3 sign.py \
-i ${RECIPE_SYSROOT}/firmware/u-boot-2016/${UBOOT_ELF_BINARY}
}
…
It also requires to add /firmware to SYSROOT_DIRS.

Run ansible-lint through subdirectories within a gitlab role

I am trying to add a validation step to a gitlab repo holding a single ansible role (with no playbook).
The structure of the role looks like :
.gitlab-ci.yml
tasks/
templates/
files/
vars/
handlers/
With the gitlab-ci looking like :
stages:
- lint
job-lint:
image:
name: cytopia/ansible-lint:latest
entrypoint: ["/bin/sh", "-c"]
stage: lint
script:
- ansible-lint --version
- ansible-lint . -x 106 tasks/*.yml
I need to skip the naming rule, thus ignoring rule 106.
Otherwise, I would like all files at the root repo to be checked. Since there is no playbook, lint has to be given the files that need to be checked... or at least, that is what I understoodd : I may have this point wrong. But anyway, if I give no name, lint does return ok but actually performs no check.
My problem is that I don't know how to tell him to check all the yaml in a recursive way, or even within a subdirectory. The above code returns an error :
ansible-lint: error: unrecognized arguments: tasks/deploy.yml tasks/localhost.yml tasks/main.yml tasks/managedata.yml tasks/psqlconf.yml
Any idea on how to check all the files from a subdirectory or through the whole role?
PS : I am using cytopia image for ansible-lint, but I have no problem using another, provided it's hosted on dockerhub.
You should certainly be able to pass multiple YAML files as arguments to ansible-lint. I have version 4.1.1a0, and I'm able to use it like this, for example:
anisble-lint -x 106 roles/*/tasks/*.yml
I notice that you seem to have placed a . before your -x 106; that looks like an error. It doesn't look like ansible-lint will accept a directory name as an argument (it doesn't cause it to fail; it just doesn't accomplish anything).
I've tried this both with a locally installed ansible-lint and using the cytopia/ansible-lint image, which appears to perform identically:
docker run --rm -v $PWD:/src -w /src cytopia/ansible-lint -x 106 roles/*/tasks/*.yml
If you want to check all the yaml files, you can use find with exec option, something like this:
find ./ -not -name ".gitlab-ci.yml" -name "*.yml" | xargs ansible-lint -x 106
However ansible-lint -x 106 ./ should work, are you sure that your role really has errors? I've tested it both on ansible-galaxy init generated roles (with meta and all that stuff) and roles which were containing only tasks directory, and it worked every time.
EDIT: I tried creating an error in existing role, replacing "present" with "latest" in package install task
$ ansible-galaxy install geerlingguy.nfs
$ cd ~/.ansible/roles/geerlingguy.nfs
$ sed -i "s/present/latest/g" tasks/setup-RedHat.yml
$ ansible-lint ./
Examining tasks/main.yml of type tasks
Examining tasks/setup-Debian.yml of type tasks
Examining tasks/setup-RedHat.yml of type tasks
Examining handlers/main.yml of type handlers
Examining meta/main.yml of type meta
[403] Package installs should not use latest
tasks/setup-RedHat.yml:2
Task/Handler: Ensure NFS utilities are installed.
and it actually worked, so you may want to run a verbose output to see if actually works, maybe individual yaml file rules are different from whole roles.
When i ran my find-based check i got a lot of extra [204] Lines should be no longer than 160 chars

Sudoers syntax error

Everytime I run a sudo command, I get the following error message:

Never open sudoer file with a normal editor. always use visudo
just type
sudo visudo
this will take you to /etc/sudoers and upon saving it will make sure that there is no error in formatting.
if you make an error in sudoer file, you will lose sudo access, so always use visudo
You can use pkexec if you are stuck.
pkexec allows you to execute program as another user. If you don't specify a user then the program will be executed as root
Root Escalation
pkexec bash
Fix your syntax error
visudo
Ubuntu 20.04 encounter this error upon "sudo anycommand"
/etc/sudoers.d/sudoers: too many levels of includes near line 29 <<<
sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers.d/sudoers near line 29
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin
My solution:
Though not know how the sudoers file created in /etc/sudoers.d.
After reading README in /etc/sudoers.d,
Extract of README
Note that there must be at least one file in the sudoers.d directory (this one will do), and all files in this directory should be mode 0440.
Removed the sudoers in /etc/sudoers.d
pkexec rm /etc/sudoers.d/sudoers
System will prompt for user password.
Can execute sudo command as usual.

apache chown on its files not working

My apache user generate one file :
# ls -lsa /tmp/reference_file.csv
76 -rwxrwxrwx 1 apache apache 69921 Aug 16 14:14 /tmp/reference_file.csv
the user and the group belong to apache, but when i am trying to change it :
su -l apache -s /bin/bash
-bash-3.00$ whoami
apache
-bash-3.00$ chown explorer:btunix /tmp/reference_file.csv
chown: changing ownership of `/tmp/reference_file.csv': Operation not permitted
I tried to another folder, but the result was the same, I ve also checked attribut :
# lsattr /tmp/reference_file.csv
------------- /tmp/reference_file.csv
there is no immutable attribut
How can I do ?
Thanks
There are criteria associated with chown. Only super-user can chown files willy-nilly. Whether you can give away a file that you own depends on your UNIX flavor and how associated kernel configuration parameters (like K_CHOWN_MAY_GIVE_AWAY, for argument's sake) may have been, well, configured. This is the most GENERALLY correct answer.

Files created through Cygwin (calling a shell script) don't have correct Windows permissions

I am currently running Cygwin on a target Windows Server 2003 machine to fire off a shell script that, among other things, creates a bunch of files on disc. However after the files are created I no longer have permissions to manipulate them through Windows.
When the files are created the owner is getting set to 'SYSTEM' and the permissions for Administrators/Creator Group/Creator Owner/system are set to only 'special permissions' and nothing else.
The permissions for Everyone and Users have Read & Execute, List folder contents and Read.
My problem is that I cannot delete/modify the files now through Windows. I would prefer to have something built into my scripts (either the shell script or something to call in Cygwin) that would allow Administrators full control on the folder and all contents.
My current workaround has been to either do file modifications through Cygwin but this is not preferable. I have also used setfacl -r -m default:other:rwx to add write permissions for the 'Users' group but it doesn't appear to have a recursive option and still doesn't give 'full control'
Is there a better way to use setfacl? Can I call the shell script using different/elevated permissions?
Results of getfacl on a newly created directory:
$ getfacl Directory/

group:Users:rwx
mask:rwx
other:r-x
default:user::rwx
default:group::r-x
default:group:Users:rwx
default:mask:rwx
default:other:r-x
You can try setting umask:
umask u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rwx
That should give user, group, and other read/write/execute on any newly created dirs.
If you only want the modified umask permanently, you can add it to your .bash_profile
Edit - Added example of mkdir before/after umask.
Here's the output of getfacl on a directory created before I set umask:
