However, previously, the getgrouplist() function incorrectly checked the invoker's group membership instead of the membership of the specified user. Consequently, using the "sudo" command with both the "-l" and "-U" options listed privileges granted to any group the ...

How to create a local Repository for Linux!

You should have a FTP server or HTTP server to make yum actually working. However since we haven't really gone through setting up FTP or HTTP server, please read-on and understand the process. If you have got vsftpd installed, use that. Otherwise, don't forget to actually set it up yourself later. Here we will create a local repository for Fedora and CentOS in the easy way. 0. You should have the yum as well as the createrepo package installed first. 1. Create the directory to hold the repository. mkdir -p /var/ftp/pub/yum-repo/centos/ mkdir -p /var/ftp/pub/yum-repo/fedora/ 2. createrepo /var/ftp/pub/yum-repo/centos/ ; createrepo /var/ftp/pub/yum-repo/fedora/ will create the local yum repository by creating a folder named "repodata with four xml files named, filelists.xml.gz, other.xml.gz, primary.xml.gz and repomd.xml ............ http://humanlinux.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-to-create-local-repository-for.html
