Full Discussion: replacing corrupt /tmp dir..
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users replacing corrupt /tmp dir.. Post 73173 by moxxx68 on Saturday 28th of May 2005 06:58:54 PM

prob with selinux is the permission enforcement when enabled.. so it wouldn't let me back in unless i unlocked the perms... close to 1777 is what screwed it up due to SE (security enhanced).... SE refused it and when i finally broke back into the system gconf-usrs had been corrupted.. a few files were erased and a few lib files couldn't be recreated.. so even after i disabled SE reconfiguring gconf files amongst others in /tmp was impossible...

edit;; i know that SE can lock files and i am pretty sure it can erase certain files when necessary.. so i guess those files bit the dust when the chmod hit the targeted SE policy.. if i could configure SElinux (i could do anything!) its government developed and very complex so the better route would be to revamp /tmp.. if i knew how!..
thanx for your input anyways...

yumdownloader

yumdownloader(1)														  yumdownloader(1)

NAME

       yumdownloader - download RPM packages from Yum repositories

SYNOPSIS

       yumdownloader [options] package1 [package2...]

DESCRIPTION

       yumdownloader is a program for downloading RPMs from Yum repositories.

GENERAL OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Help; display a help message and then quit.

       --destdir DIR
	      Specify a destination directory for the download.  Defaults to the current directory.

       --urls Instead of downloading RPMs, list the URLs that would be downloaded.

       --resolve
	      When downloading RPMs, resolve dependencies and also download the required packages.

       --source
	      Instead of downloading the binary RPMs, download the source RPMs.

       --archlist=ARCH1[,ARCH2...]
	      Limit  the  query to packages of given architecture(s). Valid values are all architectures known to rpm/yum such as 'i386' and 'src'
	      for source RPMS. Note that repoquery will now change yum's "arch" to the first value in the archlist. So "--archlist=i386,i686" will
	      change yum's canonical arch to i386, but allow packages of i386 and i686.

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS

       Yumdownloader inherits all other options from yum. See the yum(8) man page for more information

EXAMPLES

       Download the kernel RPM to /var/tmp:
	      yumdownloader --destdir /var/tmp kernel

       List the URL for the kernel and kernel-smp RPMs:
	      yumdownloader --urls kernel kernel-smp

FILES

       As  yumdownloader  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.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.
