open (not fopen) will allow you to set permissions of the file.
setuid will allow you to set the uid of the process.

So, as an example (from memory not tested)

setuid(501) // assuming www-data is 501
fd = open(filename, O_RDRW | O_CREAT, 0644)

... but isn't avahi-daemon a Bonjour implementation for linux? i.e. it will only work with Apple products? Bonjour has been a integral part of Windows since Win7 (or possibly earlier) even though it was invented by Apple. Avahi and Apple's Bonjour (originally named Rendezvous) are both implementati...

If the RPi is running avahi-daemon then http://pi.local/ should "just work". You could tweak the avahi-daemon config to change the second part of that name. You can change the first part of that name in sudo raspi-config (it uses the hostname). I was thinking of an easier way to do this than runnin...

As you stated, you need to modify what ever is servicing DNS for this network. You state it's connecting to a router, so this is probably what's doing name resolution for you. BUT :- Most routers do not do DNS, they simply forward the request onto your ISP's DNS server. Since you said there is no in...

Thanks, those are interesting and, while I'd use them if that's the only way I can figure out, my entire Raspberry Pi career has been dedicated to learning c/c++. If it's possible I'll do it the hard way to learn new tricks with these. Then I would highly recommend you take a look at writing a basi...

Which components of a Raspberry Pi have unique serial numbers..? I know there is a unique serial number written into the OTP registers when the Pi is manufactured. But what about other components..? I want to know which components have a unique serial number. Key word: UNIQUE. Then the answer is no...

Thanks! But I'm not able to figure out much, I only know what I would like as the end result. Which is why I aske the question here in the forum. I'm no programmer (except for a bit of LUA and Python for home automation through Girder and EventGhost, with a lot of help) and I'm not hardware hacker ...

The stdout stream is buffered, so will only display what's in the buffer after it reaches a newline (or when it's told to). So you can :- 1) Flush stdout after each print. 2) Print to stderr that's not buffered. 3) Turn off stdout buffering. 1) fflush(stdout); 2) fprintf(stderr, "."); 3) setbuf(stdo...

The technique that I have described is similar to what is done by the live-boot package for booting PCs from DVDs. These methods all rely on getting Linux to load an initramfs upon boot which wasn't so easy to do on the Pi in the past. Running with a read-only root file system is very useful for re...

Since it looks like your java program is a daemon, you should really write a sysvinit or systemd script to start it, and not run it in the background from rc.local. rc.local is really for running something 1 time on startup that terminates, not for a process that runs in the background. But in sayin...

Check the permissions. Add apache user to /etc/sudoers with your executable and nopassword option, then execute it with "sudo executable" within PHP. DO NOT DO THAT. It opens a massive security hole. Use wiringPi in non-privileged mode. Use pigpio / pigpiod which allows a non-privileged client to d...

Sounds like something is being cached in the directory access. Probably on the windows side, so it may be worth reading about shared folders and local caching on windows.

Check the permissions. Add apache user to /etc/sudoers with your executable and nopassword option, then execute it with "sudo executable" within PHP. Something like www-data 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/mycommand (Obviously change the IP and mycommand to your system) I'v...

Hi, I would like to know if I can add a wifi module to the pi without sacrificing my OTG port, because I want to use that to ssh to my pi from my mac. Once your PI is on the network (I assume that's why you want WiFi), you can ssh to it from your mac over the network connection, so there is no need...

mutley

Just out of interest, what security issue/hole are you trying to fix? Serial numbers on any device have never been regarded as a security risk as far as I know. There is no security issue/hole, but there is an anonymity issue. From the questions it seems the OP is either confusing security with ano...

I've been looking for a solution to manage my GPIO relay card with a RPI3.

I don't think it will, I took a very quick look at the source code and it looks like it will only work with USB relay boards, not GPIO.

I don't think you even need putty for what you are trying to do on a linux box. Simply look at the output of /dev/ttyUSB0 (or 1) to read what's being sent. sudo tail -f /dev/ttyUSB0 That will print the output directly to the terminal, you can write in exactly the same way with echo "bla bla bla" > /...

- Is there anyway to improve my SD card reliability? The only thing I can think of is that I'm using a pair of DS18B20 Temperature sensors which are continuously writing to a file, other than that there's very little activity. My personal preference with fighting numerous SD card corruptions is to ...

I've tinkered around with varying delays between opening the USB port and writing, and between writing and trying to read. I can run the exact same program over and over and sometimes I get my bytes back and sometimes nothing at all. The read loop was really just a troubleshooting thing to help me ...

mutley

A clean install should work on either PI, but once you've done the raspberry update that updates the firmware, the SD card seems to be locked to that particular model. I've had similar experience between Zero, B and 2+, it seems to be something to do with the files in the overlays directory under bo...

This one works on the Pi in 5GHz mode (and 2.4) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LGN8I40/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 But supported is probably not the best term to use as without any additional drivers it will only work in 2.4Ghz. There are plenty of pre-compiled drivers out ther...

Use google, type this into the search box

That will search this forum (and only this forum) for the word PI.

The serial number forms part of the MAC address, so I hope they are unique. A manufacturer can't (well they shouldn't) just arbitrarily make up MAC address. MAC Address are assigned in blocks to manufactures by IEEE. It's very common for manufactures to use the same MAC on multiple devices/machines...

The serial number forms part of the MAC address, so I hope they are unique. That's only going to be a problem if you have 16 million on the same /8 subnet (and you'll run out of NAT port numbers with less than 64K stations). With NAT'd networks your only need to worry about your NAT router having a...
