[SAC] id creation landing page

Committees SAC mailing list

Hi,

who's maintaining the landing page for creating osgeo ids?

I can ssh into id.osgeo.org, but I don't have a home directory - let alone
sudo. So I can't update /usr/lib/cgi-bin/NEEDMANTRA.html myself. I left my
updated version in /tmp and tried to reach that someone can by trying

sudo cp /tmp/NEEDMANTRA.html /usr/lib/cgi-bin/NEEDMANTRA.html # with some comment that I can't do it myself,

but that apparently didn't reach anyone.

Jürgen

We (I?) do manually. But the code (including NEEDMANTRA.html) is in a git repository:
https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/sac/web-cgi-bin

I just added you to `sudo` group (and removed an `osgeotest2` account
from there - btw I think that group has too many people).

but that apparently didn't reach anyone.

How did you try ?

Ah ok, I updated NEEDMANTRA.html and pushed the changed - and also removed
awstats.pl from git, as that's from a package.

I just added you to `sudo` group (and removed an `osgeotest2` account
from there - btw I think that group has too many people).

Thanks. I also assigned NEEDMANTRA.html to the users group and made it
group-writable (.mantra already was).

And added sourcing of ~root/.profile.$(logname) to ~root/.profile as on osgeo6.

using sudo without being authorized should have set off an alarm:

Feb 19 00:54:33 www sudo: jef : user NOT in sudoers ; TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/tmp ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/cp NEEDMANTRA.html /var/www/id.osgeo.org/NEEDMANTRA.html # I'm not allowed

I also added another alias for too on id.osgeo.org now.

I don't think that'll help much in that I used to deploy using
`git pull`, which implies having write access to .git/ and subdirs...

Nice, I didn't know about that :slight_smile:

for "too" ?
