View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Debian machine running IceWM. I want to set it up so when userA signs in they get a screen resolution of 1280x1024 and normal size icons and normal size cursors. Then I want it setup so if UserB signs in they get a screen resolution of 800x600 larger icons and larger mouse cursor icons. How can I customize the display settings per user with IceWM? I did not see where I can set these options in ~/.icewm/preferences.

Both programs apparently work fine, in that they behave as expected and apparently send the email.But when logging in as the recipient, there is no mail in /var/spool/mail, and nothing in alpine INBOX
View 3 Replies View Relatedi am reading on sendmail and so far my impression is, we must create users on the system (where sendmail is installed) for them to be able to access their emails. I wanted to ask that is it possible to create users for email only and not on the system ? Like lets say i want to create a user client named noony, who gets and sends his email to my sendmail server, but i dont want to actually create the user on my system ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to add linux and samba users using a shell script, it falls over because you are prompted to set a password.
I had a similar problem when installing the samba package using a script because it asks for confirmation after the command, I got round it using --force-yes -y as below.
apt-get install samba smbfs swat --force-yes -y
I suspect and hope you can do something along those lines when creating a linux user and a samba user, something like
smbpasswd �a username ?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI did not have any /etc/X11/xorg.conf, so I read on these forums that system-config-display would create one for me. I ran system-config-display and it created an xorg.conf. But now my display is all messed up!! So, I deleted the xorg.conf and nothing changed. Why on earth would the display still be messed up if I deleted the file that was causing it?? Does system-config-display change somethign else?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'd like to do something, but I don't seem to find the solution. Here is my problem: I have a laptop and I plugged in another monitor to it. What I want to do is when UserA logs in, both of the monitor is used, but when UserB logs in, only one of the monitor is used. When I change the display settings it applies to the other user too. I'd like to have different display settings for each user
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to do a little bit of setup on our new server and could use a hand.I'm working on creating a simple display script that our users can SSH in and invoke, here is what I'm attempting to do.
Requirements.
1. Must run X over ssh on Mac OS X 10.5 or greater
2. Must work in the office, or on the road
Implementation:
1. Set up the system to auth against LDAP (Open Directory)
2. Create a script on the PATH that checks which displays are available, and launches Xephyr for the first available one.
3. Create a client script that performs the SSH and Xephyr command so that users can simply click the script to start an X session.
I have 1 set up, but I'm having issues with 2 and hence 3. For instance, I can start XNest with the following commands.Start my SSH session
ssh ninet@10.0.1.50 -X
Load XNest
Xnest :1 -ac -geometry 1024x768 -once -query localhost
Choose Menu System->Administration->Users and Groups
I am able to see my Users Settings as follows:
User name: mike
Then why I still see the following prompt line? code...
If my understanding is wrong, then how can I change it in this way?
I have two user accounts on this machine. This problem is particularly noticed when browsing the web in Google Chrome (though I'm not sure if this a Chrome-only problem, so I'm posting this here). My distro is Kubuntu, but all my user accounts use Gnome.
Basically, I have the same font and display settings set up on both user accounts, but the fonts are not showing up the same. I'm not sure if at some point a long time ago I did something on one account that I never did on another to change something, but either way I can't seem to find any difference in any of the settings, yet the display is still different.
This is easier explained with screenshots.
1st user account: [URL]
2nd user account: [URL]
Note how the fonts appear bold and not bold, note the different appearance of the (c) character on the webpage, and note the size of the "Google" image is different.
For Chrome settings, both are set at 100% zoom, so this is not an issue of scale. Both user accounts are also set at 1600x900 resolution. Notice that the Google Chrome fonts are both set exactly the same, as are the Gnome system fonts.
Does anybody have a clue what I'm forgetting to check here? I believe the 2nd user account is the correct one, and the 1st one is wrong, since it clearly looks uglier.
I'm niomi and I'm the first account with sudo. I add an account, bob. niomi can get in reliably on active mode. (maybe relevant?: passive doesn't work) bob is jailed to his home directory, niomi is in ftp-special which gives her access to /. bob can't log in and his shell is set to bin/false. What could have gone wrong?
View 3 Replies View Relatedwe have a server running with Suse linux many years. Meanwhile we changed server hardware about 4 times, mostly also updating to newest Suse version. We used to copy group, passwd and shadow to a backup medium, installed the new system and restored those files onto the new system and all was running fine. Now, some weeks ago we installed 11. on new hardware and after restoring those 3 files after rebooting the system hangs when starting GUI. I can boot into runlevel 3 and login with no problem, but when I boot into runlevel 5 mouse and keyboard are frozen. Also when starting GUI from runlevel 3 with startx mouse and keyboard immediately freeze. If I restore the files group, passwd and shadow as they came from fresh new installation I can reboot and login in runlevel 5 without problems.
OK, if I compare the userlist, as it is generated bei installation,there are some usernames I formerly not had in older Suse versions. I don�t know if this can make problems? I tried to edit the files, to combine the system users from 11.2 with the list of local user names from the old system but without success, again the mouse and keyboard freeze.So some questions arise:1) Why now mouse and keyboard freeze in xsystem, when there are changes in the user list (but only in runlevel 5)2) What is the correct way to save and restore users and groups from old to new system. I googled several hours but did not find a smart way. Maybee someon can point me to a link or a howto where I find the solution

I have the following scenario that doesn't seem to work normally. I have a windows 7 pc from which I am using putty to connect to my other linux servers (all running redhat 5 and 6). So here is the scenario that works and one that does not work. And I'm trying to figure out the one that does not work. Scenario that works:
From windows 7 (putty) I ssh into Linux_Server_1.
echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0
I run xclock and I see it pop up on my windows 7 pc. I am using xming on windows 7 to help me populate the display from linux to windows. One that does not work:
From windows 7 (putty) I ssh into Linux_Server_1. Then from Linux_Server_1 I ssh into Linux_Server_2.
echo $DISPLAY
<no output>
I try to setup $DISPLAY with localhost:10.0 or 0.0 or even my windows 7 pc ip address:0.0 ....etc Then when I try to run xclock I doesn't work.
I get these error messages: Error: Can't open display: <ip of display>
Also as a side note all our Linux servers are sitting on one subnet. My pc is sitting on another subnet. I use vpn to connect to the subnet where the servers sit from my pc.
I have a useradd script that can be found here: [Bash] #!/bin/bash #useradd script while true; do echo Please Enter First Name - Pastebin.com.I need to add users that have the same name, while keeping with the current scheme, I'd just like to have numbers at the end of the user, for example joeuser, joeuser1, joeuser2... Basically, keeping with the current naming scheme, I would like to modify the script to automatically add a number to the end of the username when I have users that have the same name.
