On a server I have a public key auth only for root account. Is there any point of logging in with a different account?
minus-squareSavvyWolflinkfedilinkEnglish0•1 year agoI don’t think that actually works; the attacker could just remove .bashrc and create a new file with the same name.
minus-square@2ndSkin@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink4•1 year agoIf the .bashrc is immutable, the attacker can’t remove it. That’s how it works.

minus-square@2ndSkin@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink4•edit-21 year ago? It’s .bashrc, not bashrc, and .bashrc is in the home directory. If .bashrc is immutable, it can’t be removed from home.
minus-squareSavvyWolflinkfedilinkEnglish1•11 months agoIt’s the directory that needs to be writable to delete files, not the file itself. Although the immutable bit (if that’s what you’re talking about - I thought you meant unsetting the write bit) might change that, I’m not sure.
minus-squareWheelchairArtistlinkfedilink1•1 year agoyou’re right. that’s something i wanted to look into. guess setfacl would do the trick?
that’s why root owns my .bash* stuff

“chattr +i” is what I use to make things immutable
