CentOS 5 :: Removing Root SSH Access / Adding New User?

Jul 13, 2010

I am going to remove root access via SSH which seems fine but I don't know how to add a new user, do I have to create a group first or are there existing groups I can add a user to, and does it matter which group I add a user to if I want this user to have root access with sudo?

General :: LVM2 - Adding And Removing PV

Sep 14, 2009

My Linux OS is mounted on a LVM spread across an 8GB SD Card and a 4GB Flash Drive. I've used about 6GB and have about 2.xGB left. I'm trying to download Sabayon and I don't quite have enough space to store DVD size ISO. I have extra 2GB Flash Drive that I am not using and can converted to a PV and that would give me the necessary space I need to store the ISO. Now the ISO would spread from 4GB Flash to my 2GB Flash. My question is complicated, so bare with me. I want to know by adding 2GB PV into LogGroup and then remove it from the same LogGroup and then added back later. Would the data still exists and accessible? What happens to the data when I remove it the first time, would be automatically deleted, or stay hidden to plug back in?

General :: LVM Situation - Adding New Drive And Removing Old One

Mar 6, 2010

Server (LVM):
500GB
320GB

I want to install a new 500GB and remove the 320GB, of course moving the data on the 320GB to the new 500GB. I have an external 1TB in enclosure that I can plug in to move the data over, but how do I move only the data on the 320GB to it?? I found this [URL]. But that is only to move the data to a new replacement disk, but my external is only temporary to move the data from the 320GB until I remove it+install 500GB, then move the data back. Not enough space on the 500GB already on server to move everything from 320GB to it, just in case that seemed the obvious thing to do.

General :: Adding User To A Secondary Group?

Sep 10, 2009

If user1's main group is genetics and one wants to add him/her to group biochem and to assign biochem as his/her secondary group will the following suffice ?

Code:

$ sudo usermod -G biochem user1

I would like for user1 to have genetics as the main group but also belong to biochem. When user1 creates a file, as he/she belongs to main group genetics, I assume the file will be owned by user1 and group owner will be genetics. Ideally files created by user1 should be accessible to users in group genetics(when permissions are tweaked) but not by individuals in group biochem. However, any files with group owner biochem should be accessible to user1 as he/she does belong to biochem as a secondary group. Would having user1 main group genetics, secondary group biochem fulfil this criteria ?

I want to try out ubuntu with xfce, thing is, I don't know how to safely add and remove a desktop environment. Anyone know how to do this so I don't break ubuntu?

I don't want to install xubuntu, partially because I want to learn how to do this stuff myself.

What is a safe way of installing xfce and removing it if I didn't like it?

Hardware :: Adding / Removing Drive Names Changed

Sep 29, 2010

After a couple of years, I decided this weekend to replace my old slackware 10.2 with the latest stable version 13.1 64 bit. The change log tells me that with the new kernel 2.6, the old IDE/ATA system has been removed and the libata is used instead. That /dev/hda become /dev/sda and so on. No problem sofar, however ...

My FIRST hardware configuration was:
One SATA drives connected to the onboard SATA controller [A]
Two PATA drive connected to PCI IDE controller 1 [B & C]
Two PATA drive connected to PCI IDE controller 2 [D & E]
One PATA drive connected to the onboard IDE controller [F]

So initially the system had 6 disk drives. Booting from the Slackware install dvd, I found out that the drives are detected in the following order.
Onboard SATA controller
PCI IDE Controllers
Onboard IDE Controller

And the drives are get names in the following order:
/dev/sda : SATA disk @ Onboard SATA controller
/dev/sdb : first PATA disk @ PCI IDE controller 1
/dev/sdc : seconde PATA disk @ PCI IDE controller 1
/dev/sdd : first PATA disk @ PCI IDE controller 2
/dev/sde : seconde PATA disk @ PCI IDE controller 2
/dev/sdf : PATA disk @ Onboard IDE controller 1
sda upto sde are configured to us with LVM, so 4 disks are added to the volume group.
sdf is where Slackware is installed (sdf1 = swap; sdf5 = /boot; sdf6 /; sdf7 = /usr; sdf8 = /home; sdf9 = /var; sdf10 = /tmp)

Here is the problem:
When a 7th disk is added (another SATA drive @ Onboard SATA controller) then all names are changed like:
sda remains the same
sdb new added SATA drive
sdb -> sdc
sdc -> sdd
sdd -> sdf
sdf -> sdg

Obviously booting without LILO parameters results in a kernel panic, so I booted with: Linux boot=/dev/sdg root=/dev/sdg6. This does not give the kernel panic, but results in an option to check a drive and gives an option ctrl+d to boot normally. However it reboots and I get stuck at the same again.

How does LVM handle the naming shift of the drives? The 4 drives that are part of the volume group contain critical data!!! If needed, I can reinstall Slackware again from dvd with all 7 drives attached (to avoid naming shift), but how do I recover my volume group? What if one of the drives dies or is removed, then naming shift happens again.

Networking :: RIP V2 - OSPF Dynamically Adding And Removing Nodes

Dec 3, 2009

I am deciding to whether use OSPF or RIPv2 on my network. The key point for me is how good each of them are in dynamically adding and removing nodes. I am pretty sure that OSPF works well if a node is suddenly dropped or a new one is introduced( Please correct me if I am wrong). how good RIPv2 is at this.

Ubuntu :: Removing Single User From Gdm

Sep 18, 2010

I have a quick question that I haven't been able to find an answer for so far. Is it possible to 'hide' a user from the user list in gdm? Note that I don't want to remove it entirely, I just want a user that you can only get into by clicking 'other', entering your name and password.

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Login After Removing Other User

Aug 15, 2011

Ubuntu 10.10

I was setting up a machine for a friend using my normal username. Once the install was finished I created a new account (Admin) for the friend, logged out, logged in as the friend and deleted my own account. On the next reboot I get a message about not being able to update .ICEauthority for my own account, which I thought was deleted. Then there are messages about the configuration server failing and that Nautilus can't find the home dir for my own account, then just the desktop background, no panel, no nothing, just hangs.

Obviously, in this case deleting the account didn't clean up everything. How can I get to the login prompt for the friend's account?

Ubuntu :: No User Permissions For /home After Installing & Removing Desktop

Aug 22, 2010

i'm having trouble with my fresh ubuntu installation (netbook edition). what i did was install xubuntu-desktop on top of that (wanted to check it out)..........didn't really work for me, so i removed it, hoping this would also remove the xubuntu desktop logon screen, which i didn't like. since this wasn't the case, i went to synaptics and removed all and everything with xubuntu in the title. NOTE: in the same session i turned off password requests for login - it could also matter, but i'm not sure, so i thought i'd mention it. the end result: three warning messages at logon

- Could not update ICEauthority file /home/dsikl/.ICEauthority

- There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/bgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)

- Nautilus could not create the following required folders: /home/dsikl/Desktop, /home/dsikl/.nautilus. Before running Nautilus, please create these folders, or set permissions such that Nautilus can create them.

i don't have access to my programs, administrator tools, /home folder, nothing.........the only thing that appears is the right part of the top bar (network, clock etc.), but also completely different.......it doesn't have my WLAN data anymore (can't access it), and all i have managed to get started was (accidentally) terminal with Ctrl-Alt-T, and from there I can use sudo, or even start nautilus, but can't access my own user, no matter what.........in the end i somehow managed to get to the point where it requested my passphrase, which i wanted to print out a day before it happened, but didn't and the screenshot is unfortunately within my /home folder. i tried reinstalling xubuntu-desktop, even ubuntu-desktop, i repaired broken packages from the recovery mode, tried everything i could to get the bugger going again, no success yet.

i would be happy to do a clean install, but there's one spreadsheet in the documents folder which i desperately need and i really need to get a hold of it before formating. could some sort of a rescue livecd help? i just need that one file. the easiest would be if i could somehow repair whatever packages may be broken, or manually (with apt-get or similar) reinstall the additional xubuntu packages i manually removed via synaptics, but i wouldn't have a clue what those were

CentOS 5 :: Adding User To System?

Aug 6, 2009

I've been trying to add a user to the system, so I can use it through samba to access the shares on the server. I'm using "useradd" but the command is not found... with a little search, I was able to find the command "/usr/sbin/useradd username" my question is can someone point me to a guide with basic administration task, I was checking out the wiki on Centos, but didn't find "adding user"; I know Centos has a gui for this, but I would like to stick to shell commands. By the way why some commands are only access through /sbin and others /usr/sbin. I know this probably has to do with your path, but how can I fix this so I don't have to type the whole path every time.

Trying to add my wife as a user to my computer, only to log on through SSH, not locally. Only problem is I use keys for logging in.

Code:
Agent admitted failure to sign using the key.

Is there a group I need to add her to, or add her public key to a different file somewhere?

Server :: SFTP User Adding For VSFTPD?

Oct 24, 2010

I just installed Wordpress and i am delighted of it, nice peace of software. Even so I have to get running a FTP or SFTP server on my localhost machine. I did installed in my Ubuntu 10.10 the VSFTPD server and generated a RSA certificate file (vsftpd.pem). Strange it is that there is no vsftpd folder under /etc, instead vsftpd.conf file is directly into /etc ... so I have generated also my .pem file into /etc. Anyway I have a lot of trouble adding new users to access this server. I use Filezilla as SFTP client. Please let me know if you encountered such an issue, and what is the solution for it. Downwards is my vsftpd.conf file.

# Example config file /etc/vsftpd.conf
#
# The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid. This sample file
# loosens things up a bit, to make the ftp daemon more usable.
