View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Login - Samba: Share A Folder Using Account Username And Password?
Sep 7, 2011I'm working on sharing a user's home folder using the username and password of the user's lLnux account. I noticed that home folder sharing is quite easy as I just need to change the smb.conf file to enable it. However I can't seem to login anyway. It seems that Samba keeps its own records of username and passwords. Is there a way that I can map/sync the Linux users' usernames and passwords automatically to Samba? The end result should be that whenever I add a new user or a user changes his/her Linux login password,Samba automatically changes its password as well.

Dec 29, 2010I have a qmail server running, I want to create an autoreponder for one of my accounts using the autorepond for qmail, and I did that the problem is that I receive a very strange response
-It writes the subject inside the message.
-It writes the From inside the message.
-It does not show HTML when it append the original message.
So I want to have my subject written in the mail subject instead of RE:. Also I want to be able to show HTML inside the auto replay mail.
This is my .qmail file:
Code:
/home/vpopmail/domains/XXXXXXXX.com/freestuff/Maildir/
| /usr/bin/autorespond 86400 3 /home/vpopmail/domains/XXXXXXXX.com/freestuff/vacation/message /home/vpopmail/domains/XXXXXXX.com/freestuff/vacation
This is the replay I receive after I have removed the From and Subject from the message as you can see in the message file.
Code:

Red Hat / Fedora :: Creating Web Page For Users With Restricted Shell To Change System Pw?
Feb 3, 2011I have a box that's used as an SFTP server. All users have restricted shell so they can only use SFTP to send and receive files. But it makes it hard to have them change their passwords. I thought that if we had a web page set up where the user could enter their username, old password, new password and confirmed new password, that this would be the easiest solution.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Safest Way To Change A Username / Login Name
Apr 6, 2010I would like to change my username (or login name) and am wondering what the safest route to do so is. The install is on a headless server, which I just use ssh.There's a) using usermod -l newname oldname. The line in the usermod man that says that changing the login name doesn't change anything else, which makes me think that something else is bound to break. I've also considered b) creating a new user, moving the contents of my home directory to the new user, and deleting the old user. This is kind of cumbersome, but would this be the recommended way to ensure everything goes well (considering I still have to redo some config files).

Dec 14, 2010I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit. Sometimes I have difficulty starting X. The system complains that "/etc/timidity" is not owned by me. Then the system locks up. I checked the permissions. 'root' is both owner and group. Should I change the permissions to my username and/or my usernamegroup? Or, chown and chgrp to root again? I would experiment on my own with this, but since the system already locks up sometimes, I don't want to find myself with an unusable system.
