View 1 RepliesI never considered I would want to remote access my laptop, or that I would be able to figure out how (I know....). In any case, my (only) username and password are not all that complicated - just there for deterence more than anything else (I have a barely functioning battery and a FDE hard drive, so if you're going to unplug and transport this baby, it'll shut off; my hard drive PW is solid).
In any case, I wanted to create another account that I could use to log into with SSH to be able to access files. I've started by disabling SSH login to my current user account (DenyUsers myusername). I know I could add a new user to my system with its own home directory and all, but I want it as least 'present' or invasive as possible. So in sum, is there a way to create an SSH only user, and if so, how?
I thought I would check here to get some pointers, to be sure I don't mess up my system!
Recently I have renovated an old computer which once belonged to my dad (the old HDD crashed, and I just bought a new one to replace it). My parents want me to fix this computer for my 5-year-old sister to use. I decided to use Linux Mint as the OS because everything (flash, mp3, etc.) is already configured.
How do I create a user account in Linux Mint with limited access for my sister, so that it won't mess up the entire system?
All she does is surf the web, so I'm just worried that she might accidentally mess up a system setting that I eventually will have to fix it.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently created a new user account in ubuntu linux, and created a file called xsession so that I can boot directly into xmbc when I log into that account. Is there anyway to delete the home folder for that account. I can view the file but when I try to delete it is says I do not have apporite permisions to delete the file.
I removed the account and deleted the group but it still shows up when I type in the address /home/xmbc

View 9 Replies View RelatedOur requirement is to create multiple user account with UID:-
/tmp/users.txt
rohit
guna
samsir
like this 100 user names in /tmp/users.txt file
/tmp/uid.txt
2001
3789
1000134
like this 100 UID's in /tmp/UID.txt file
The script should take input from both the files and create user account. for example user account rohit should have an UID of 2001 and user samsir should have an UID of 1000134.
I try to create a user who has the 100% permissions and roles as the root with following command:
Code:
useradd -c "ANOTHER ROOT" -d /home/root2 -g root -m -s /bin/bash root2
But it seems the user just in the group of root but doesn't have all the rights as the root.

I'm looking to create a white-list of email addresses that are allowed to send mail to my son's email address. Basically, I'm trying to do this:
if from not in ('dad@home.net','mom@home.net','unclebill@work.org')
then deliver to 'dad@home.net'
Or deliver to /dev/null or something.
This would be only for his account/domain, not server-wide.
The configuration above uses MySQL for forwarding and authentication. I'm not sure if that is a plus or minus for what I'm trying to do.

Auditd seems to monitor modify/create/append with user account, but not deletes.We need to provide this information to auditing for Sarbane Oxley compliance.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to jail Skype into its own process and not the one I login with. That way, if a hacker breaks in, it's limited to this process and only the limited functionality that that user account has. The thing is this -- thousands of Linux guys run Skype, but Skype is hardly ever updated or have security patches, and we run it all the time. It seems like an easy avenue for an exploit. As well, my iptables firew all blocks input connections that I have not established, but Skype is an established connection. How do I create a Bash script that launches Skype under a separate user account?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI encountered a question in the Redhat Skills Assessment regarding useradd: Which of the following cannot be defined when you create a user account with useradd?
a* A password expiration date.
b* The user's primary group.

Which is the correct answer? I have my own thinking which will be explained later.

I have two Fedora 10 boxes. Both have a user account, Andrew. I use this account all the time.
Now when I put my USB drive (ext3-filesystem) in box I, create a file in it. It works. But when I attach it to box II and try to access the files, it gives me error - Permission denied. I have to use
Quote:
sudo chown -R Andrew
Only then I am able to access the files in it.
When I attach my drive to box I again, it also gives me error - Permission denied. So in both boxes, I have to use
Quote:
sudo chown -R Andrew
first. Otherwise I get Permission denied message.
This means Andrew on both systems is different. How can I make Andrew account on both systems same? So that I can access files on my usb drive without running chown all the time.

I thought the password were wrong and I rebooted the server in to run level 1 and reset the password and it started to work. Again on next day the account got same problem.his started to happen after formatting the / partition
I want to add 50 new users, not on the server yet I want to add them all to group Accounting - with 1 option, not user by user I want to setup a default password for them all, and have it say something like 'You must now change password or no access will be permitted' Any other options I also want to do once, not for each user?
