I can't seem to get last logged in dat/time for vsftpd users. They are linux users maintained within passwd groups ect ... i think this is because ftp doesn't actually give them a real session. That being true, how do i get the last logged in time for my ftp users?

I've got fedora 11 set up to use network time protocol to sync my laptop's date & time when I'm on-line. The question is simple really, I've added a local universality's time server (what is public) and it's live. but it's added to the end of the default time servers what come with fedora. How do I get fedora to just use the local time server, is it a case of removing the default time servers for fedora, but there is a box what says advanced options which are. sync system clock before starting service ???? & use Local time source (( is that the same as the local ntp server that I've got set up ))Hope some body can help me with the network time protocol part of Date/Time settings.

I run a linux file server for my office and we user SFTP for remote partners to login and download files. Is there a way to see if there are any active connections or logins so I can know when it is safe to perform maintenance on the machine?
Since the machine is almost constantly serving large files, scheduled maintenance is often bumped off due to someone either upload
Is there any gnome tool out there that will allow admins to talk with logged in users? Without it being amsn, skype, or gtalk... I'm looking for something like the 'talk' command but GUI based.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhenever I want to shut down, I have to enter my password, because shutting down while other users are logged in is a privileged operation. Now, I couldn't download an update because the update lock was in use. I'd be surprised if someone had targeted my system, especially because I didn't install any obscure .debs or anything recently, but I'd really like to find out if it's been compromised somehow. Say, by obtaining an overview of all users currently logged into my system or something. Is that possible?
View 2 Replies View RelatedJust wondering is there a command that would show me the details of whose currently logged on and how their logged on i.e. ssh/samba etc?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI try to write a script which would kill processes of users who are not logged in. My approach is to find out what users are logged in and then kill processes of all nonsystem users who fail the test of being logged. I use `w` for finding all logged in users, but apparently there are users on the list which `w` gives me who own absolutely no process in the output of `ps aux`. How do I log off those users, since killing their processes wont work (since they own no processes)?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed a few media servers to stream something to my PS3 over the weekend, but now when trying to shutdown the computer, I'm asked to authenticate with a password since other users are still logged in. I installed quite a few programs over the weekend trying to get it to work, so I can't remove a specific one. Is there a way to see which daemons are logged in under a different session? Found it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 2 servers, web server & mail server. they show 2 users in the summary area when I run w or top commands. But the actual list of users logged in (using either w or who) shows only 1 user.
ps -ef |grep username only shows my current login as a running sshd process.
So I can find no trace of this other user except in the summary line for w or top. I have no shells or other logins left running elsewhere or abruptly terminated, no gui sessions (these are servers), no tty logins. Do I have another user logged in? Has someone hacked me & covered up most of their trail? Why do these commands show 2 users when everything else points to 1 user?
I read the log
Code:
I found this print out:
Code:
The line in bold is the security issue. There is only 1 user account on the system. There should only be 1 user logged in, not 2 users logged in. The remainder of the log file lists 1 user logged in, for similar log output. 2 users logged in does not appear again in the log file.
Does the second line of bold indicate that an attempt was made to log in to the system using SSH?
There was an internet connection interruption (no service) around the time of the log file event. The service did return, later.
Does that line indicate that an unauthorized user logged in to the system?
If there is a simple way to prevent accidental shutdown when the following situation occurs:
Sometimes, I log in on my father's computer to run some administrations' tasks (updates...). For that, I use SSH since I'm frequently far from my parents and what I want is to prevent a shutdown run by my father. Of course, he should be able to turn off by himself if nobody else is connected.
Molly-Guard allows to prevent distant shutdown, my request is a kind of complementary software.
Does anyone know a project which could fit with this request? Do you have simple ideas to write a short code I know bash, perl, python...
Just noticed this, when I am logged into OpenSuse 11.3 under my default user (autologin) I have 3 of the same user logged in, eg when I run top it shows 3 users and when I run the users command it shows the same user 3 times. Is there any reason for this? Do I need to investigate this at all?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I'm logged into my account, I can't shut down the computer if someone else is also logged in unless I supply the root password. However, if I log out, I can shut down from GDM without being challenged, even though another person is logged in, which could cause problems if that person is in the middle of some work. Is there a way to password-protect the gdm shutdown function if people are logged in?

Command seems to be the easiest way to display users but it specifies all users log times.
I've also fiddled with the lastlog command to no avail.
It is possible to check who logged in with "who" command. If we are also logged in to that linux pc.
But, is there any possibility to check without our login?(not even by ssh)
Our logging in to find that pc, will be wasting the cpu resources. And may disturb the user who is working on the x-session.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using vsftpd on my server. When I connect (using file-zilla) from other computers on the same network I can't download any files.

I have many clients uploading to the same directory.
I have set chmod to 733 and chown to another user on the upload folder so that the different clients do not see each others files,
but that also causes the client to not see their own files after they are uploaded or not being able to resume broken uploads.
I would like the different user log in with their own username and password but all upload to the same directory and not see each others files, but just their own. Is this possible? Or does anyone have a tip how to achieve something similar?
Have recently setup Samba on a fresh install of Fedora 14 so that I can use it as a workstation in a Windows 2003 (win2k3) domain.
The install of Samba seems to have worked as I can connect to the Domain using ADS and kerberos. selinux and firewall have been disabled until I have it working 100%
The problem lies when i try to login to Gnome or TTY. It begins to create the home directory for the domain user logging in but after a certain process Fedora logs the user out of the system.
Have looked through several log files (/var/log/messages, log.winbindd, log.winbindd-dc-connect) but am unable to debug it any further.
Have posted the config files below which shows the Fedora machine is successfully connected to the domain as it lists its groups, users and validates logon credentials - it just won't logon!

I'm trying to configure vsftpd to just allow my local users to login and be confined to their home directory (and its sub-directories).
Here is my vsftpd.conf:

I've tried multiple configurations to no avail. I always end up with this same end result.
Using THIS I was able to get virtual users working via standard ftp. After wrestling with selinux and such I'm able to log in as a user defined in the virtual-users file.
At the bottom is the vsftpd.conf. I can start the server no problem. I've been making edits to it so I'm not sure what's right/wrong at this point in it. I have a snapshot I keep reverting to where ftp works with virtual users and then I start monkeying with it again.
First problem I have is I'm not exactly sure how to test it. If I use WinSCP, I try SFTP and in the vsftpd.log I see:
