CentOS 5 :: Bad User Permission With Adduser Command
Dec 1, 2010
i know some UNIX commands and some centos/linux commands anyway i need help setting up my centos VPS. I recieved the server the today and i wax given a SSH login which i quickly figured out how to use however for many actions including opening SFTP i need to have a non root useraccount form which i have none, so i preceeded to create a new account(adduser username, passwd username) however now if i try to log into SSH, SFTP with the new account i get a message Access is Denied. I need some help and the company hosting the server seems to be pretty useless for actual support, i think they assume VPS owners to have a reasonable amount of linux knowledge.

I am attempting to add a user via the adduser command. However, I get an error/warning message after entering the following: (note I am following a HOWTO, and this is the line it says to enter).
Code:
adduser renderNode
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
adduser: Please enter a username matching the regular expression configured
via the NAME_REGEX[_SYSTEM] configuration variable. Use the `--force-badname'
option to relax this check or reconfigure NAME_REGEX or NAME_REGEX_SYSTEM.
I don't quite understand how to check/configure locale settings or variables,

I have a problem about user permission, I just destroy my user...So, I create a new one. But I can't have the permission to use "sudo" or to install program... So, I cannot do a lot of thing in my computer. The logical solution is to boot in failsafe mode and access to the root terminal, but, I don't know how to change the permission to allow me to use sudo.

I am in the process of setting up a new server (Debian - Lenny - now updated to Squeeze) and every things were going fine. But unfortunately from today , whenever a user login to ftp, it says
550 permission denied and not able upload / edit or remove any files ( i am able to see all files and folders)
Yesterday it was working fine..
I tried using bot Pure Ftp and Proftp and the issue is common
What I am trying to do is
add a unix user exalmple through adduser command with default directory for the user as /var/www/example.com (shell enabled)
owner of example.com is example
and using the above user name and password to ftp files to the folder

I would like to allow a user to login through SSH but with different permission coming from different ipaddress.
For example, a user "tester" login to SSH through 192.168.1.1 and another user login with the same login id "tester" but from different ip 192.168.1.2.
How do I restrict 192.168.1.2 to only allow for viewing the content in the home directory while giving 192.168.1.1 full access?

Just upgraded to wheezy from squeeze, and trying to resolve a few problems that appeared.
I get an error when installing pulseaudio (and a few other packages). Looks like the install script can't find 'adduser':
Code: Select allSetting up pulseaudio (2.0-6.1) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/pulseaudio.postinst: 22: /var/lib/dpkg/info/pulseaudio.postinst: adduser: not found
dpkg: error processing pulseaudio (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
If I 'sudo su -' then 'adduser' is on the path, so why can the install script not find it?

Proftpd is installed and running fine on 8.04 server. I want to streamline the process of adding users. Adding a ftp user with USERADD fails (user is created but connection fails when trying to connect with ftp client).
Code:
useradd -d /ftp/ftphome/myuser -g ftp -m -p mypassword -s /usr/sbin/nologin myuser
But, ADDUSER works:
Code:
adduser myuser
usermod -d /ftp/ftphome/myuser -g ftp -m -p mypassword -s /usr/sbin/nologin myuser
It's a bother because I want to automate the process, and ADDUSER has all those prompts and asks for the password twice.

/usr/bin: No such file or directory and I cannot run any adduser commands from root of my new install of Slackware 13.1. This is my first time every installing a Linux distro and I am confused as to why I cannot do anything from the root command that I have been reading in Linux forums?

I am a bit fuzzy about the usage of adduser script directives in the smb.conf. I pressume they give you the ability to add users directly from windows machines... or not? And how can I use them?

I need to configure software as debian image to work on server. I need to create user who is not root, but being able to change IP (I don't know if administrators who will install my image need to give static IP to it, so I want to create special user role for them being able to change IP but not able to see some restricted folders in the image).

If it's just for read only ajail would be fine.but how do I change shell based on IP?Approach 2) to have two ssh instances. Let's say port 22 and port 24. Port 22 isfor read only, while port 24 is for full accessso how can it be possible to give port 22 only read only access to SSH

I've run into my first Linux/Unix roadblock and need support. I am creating a user strictly for SFTP and need them to login to a specific folder as well as set their navigate, write, and read permissions appropriatly but am having trouble. I was able to modify /etc/passwd to change their home location upon login but was warned that it was a bit dangerous to modify this file, even though my login test worked, and that I should look for an alternate solution in case shadow passwords were used. I'm reading up on chmod and understand the binary relationship but still can't seem to put the pieces together for each folder I'm working in. Below is what I need to satisfy: username for this test will be 'customer'
Example folder: /storage/company/files
1. User 'customer' needs to login to /storage/company/ by default.
2. User 'customer' needs browse, write, and read permissions to /storage/company/ and ALL files and subdirectories within this folder
3. User 'customer' must be UNABLE to navigate backwards toward folder root / or in general, navigate out of their primary home location.

I'd like to clarify about the permission. 1 ) When I transfer the entire directory from one server to another using "rcp" , the permission still remain as source directory or inherit from the destination directory in different server? 2 ) I have one issue. When I transfer using one server to another server using "rcp" permission was changed at the destination from "770" to "750" at the destination director

I'm trying to write a small script that will run as root, but launch a command with sudo as another user. I want that user to be whichever user is active user. That is, the user that is using GDM right now, or the one that is logged into the current console. (by current console, I don't mean the user running the script, but rather the user logged into the console currently displayed on the screen.)How can this be done?
Code:
ACTIVE_USER=`somecommand`
test `id -u pulse` -ge 1000 && sudo -u $ACTIVE_USER $*
What can I use for "somecommand"?

It has worked in the last week or so. Not sure when I ran it last. Now only root can run Open Office. The menu and a quick start Icon both give no response but su can call from the command line. I,user, can't. Seems there was a big OO update in the last several days, this might be the cause. I spoke too soon. Now su will not get it either. I tried su -l and su with no success. Also an Icon for OO quick start has gone away.

I'm trying to access a share across the net. the share is a disk "fat32" which I mounted using "vfat users,rw,exec 0 0." However, after I created the samba user "smbpasswd -a user" I'm still unable to access the share across the net. ports are open, and entry has been made in smb.conf for share. But I'm having problems giving permission to smb user. the share it is mounted on /media/share, and I've tried everything from
chmod -R ug+rwx /media/share
chmod -R ugo+rwx /media/share
chown -R user /media/share
and I always get unable to set permission for user

I have configured samba server.My requirement was that the path which i have to share was /srv/www/htdocs.With this the shared path for developer user was /srv/www/htdocs/projects.
So in the smb.conf file i made the entries as following:
After that root user was able login to both /srv/www/htdocs and also project folder and developer was only able to login to projects folder.That was according to my requirement but now the problem is that when developer is trying to edit any file in projects folder he is getting error that you dont have permissions to change this file.But developer should be able to edit any files. What changes i need to do now.
