Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Set Proxy In The Terminal & problem Package Installing Post 302967953 by xabbu on Tuesday 1st of March 2016 01:59:31 PM

Hi mnnn,

no there is no other way to protect the file.
But yum is running as root so no one else need to read the file.

protect it with

Code:
chmod 640 /etc/yum.conf
chown root:root /etc/yum.conf

So only root and members of the group root are able to read the file.

and yum is working.
If you use

Code:
sudo

for running yum so you can also protect it, so that the normal user with sudo rights is not able to read the yum.conf.

I think it is not a security problem.

We are using in our company and no normal user is able to read it.

Regards,
xabbu

yum-debug-dump

yum-debug-dump(1)														 yum-debug-dump(1)

NAME

       yum-debug-dump - write system RPM configuration to a debug-dump file

SYNOPSIS

       yum-debug-dump

DESCRIPTION

       yum-debug-dump is a program which creates a gzipped file containing a lot of information useful to developers trying to debug a problem.

       By default it will output a file to the current working directory named yum_debug_dump-<hostname>-<time>.txt.gz. This file contains no pri-
       vate information but does contain a complete list of all packages you have installed, all packages available in any  repository,  important
       configuration and system information.  You can view this file using the 'zless' command.

       You can use the coresponding program yum-debug-restore to act on this file and restore a set of packages (much like dump/restore).

FILES

       As  yum-debug-dump  uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like which
       repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/

SEE ALSO

       yum-debug-restore (1)
       yum.conf (5)
       http://yum.baseurl.org/

AUTHORS

       See the Authors file included with this program.

BUGS

       There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on  http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq  and	if
       unsuccessful  in  finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org.  To file a bug use http://bugzilla.redhat.com
       for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
