How to created users in pureftpd and the users are stored in mysql database. I tried when i try to connect i got like this error authentication failed error
View 1 RepliesIs there a command to list all of the users I, as an administrator have created? It is difficult to tell the users I created from those created by the system by reading /etc/passwd. I thought 'man 5 passwd' would shed some light on this but is wasn't so

I know it's considered stupidity, but I deleted my home directory.
Is there an easy way to restore a working home directory? I tried copying /etc/skel under root, but I'm not sure what a home directory should look like once it has been restored. Besides . & .., there were .screenrc & .xsession in my home directory when I copied /etc/skel. Are these files suppose to be in "/home" or "/home/~" or both?
I'm currently running a membership site which is Joomla-based. Basically I need a bash script to constantly check that MySQL users table and copy those credentials into my SSH users list (subsequently giving them SSH access).I've looked at pam_mysql, but that merely is for authentication, it doesnt add them to the SSH users.

View 10 Replies View Relatedi've written a bash script to add new users to our system. the script works so I won't bother you all about that. when a new user is created with it, they can immediately login to our domain from any terminal, which is good. However, the newly created user is unable to login to debian at all, and so cannot access the server. when attempting to do so, they get a message like "the system administrator has disabled your account". This is a good thing really as normal users have no need for debian login, but I do need to add a few admin users who will need direct access to the server machine.
/usr/sbin/useradd -g smbusers -d /home/$username -s /bin/false -m $username
passwd $username
smbpasswd -a $username
This is the code I'm using to add the user. The rest of my script is just a wrapper and GUI. I figure the login shell may have something to do with it, so I tried changing the shell of a user to the default /bin/bash. This resulted in the user being able to login - sort of. Gnome doesn't load though, and there's a cascade of errors across the screen about things failing to save or load settings. mostly stuff like nautilus, X, and gnome. the desktop background is black and there's no interface. Logging in with a previously existing account works fine though. Clearly I have an issue somewhere.
I set up a linux 10.10 desktop to run as a "server" for me. I then loaded Xrdp so that we can remote connect to the machine. My issue now is, i need to add users other than the initial account i created, but when i log into the desktop remotely, it will not let me add a new user. I cant seem to use any of the boxes in the User Settings command box. Does anyone have any suggestions?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm testing a Debian Lenny virtual machine to simulate my ideal setup for FTP server (with vsftpd): I want all internal users (corporation users with Active Directory accounts) to ftp into the same directory (i.e. /var/FTP/AD-DOMAIN/) and external users (customers) to ftp into their home directories (created manually on request).
I added user_config_dir=/etc/vsftpd_user_conf option in /etc/vsftpd.conf file and I've created /etc/vsftpd_user_conf/domain-user1 with local_root=/var/FTP/AD-DOMAIN
I have setup vsftp so I can ftp with every external and internal user chrooted and is working properly. AD validation for internal users and "normal" validation (via /etc/passwd) for external users work perfect.
I can FTP this server into /var/FTP/AD-DOMAIN with any AD user with its home directory created (i.e. /home/AD-DOMAIN/domain-user1/) but if I try to ftp with any AD user without its home directory created I get the error "500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/AD-DOMAIN/domain-user2"
I have found some references (http://wiki.flexion.org/FtpServer.html and http://howto.gumph.org/content/setup...ies-in-vsftpd/) about vsftp PAM authentication so I would supposedly get rid of the error message and the user would log into /var/FTP/AD-DOMAIN without problems, but I can't figure out how to setup my FTP server.
The question is, as far as I know Ubuntu distro adds a user created with useradd to supplementary groups automatically. For instance, I want to enable sudo for all newly created users on my LiveCD and want them to be added to the group 'wheel' on creation. I'm sure it is possible to do it in Fedora, but how?
View 10 Replies View RelatedCentOS 5.4 install, likewise open standard install (For active directory authentication).I have a license service which requires a license.txt be in the users home directory.The group owner for license.txt must be the same as the license service. Whenever a new domain user logs in, it creates the all the appropriate files but the group owner for license.txt is the users domain group. My current workaround seems like more effort than it's worth, is there another way to get this process solved easier/more secure?
- copy the license.txt into /etc/skel
- created a script to check for the presence of license.txt, check it's permissions and change them if necessary
- gave the domain's group sudo [nopasswd] access to the script (the script is not writable)
- execute the script in /etc/bashrc
Im configuring virtual users for ftp and in few guides i find that i need this database.This guides were outdated so i cant follow them(by downloading with its commands), can anyone explain me something about this db(like, where to download, how, did i have installed other version of this db with ubuntu server default packages)...By the way i need to create login file with users and their passwords, for example:tomfoofredbar
Then i must create actual database file like this:
Code:
db_load -T -t hash -f logins.txt /etc/vsftpd_login.db
(that requires the Berkeley db program installed)

View 5 Replies View RelatedAnyway i have a very old Mandrake server where a previous owner hosted mailboxes on. This server is getting very slow and does alot of e-mail related tasks like:popsmtpmxIt runs on sendmail (which is also very outdated...) and it doesnt seem to respond to its config files. And the whole smtp and mx thing leaves us with some really weird mail problems...So i want to implement it in our current mail setup in which i have it all on seperate servers:2 smtp server (dns roundrobbing) (postfix)4 mx servers (1 etrn) (postfix)1 webmail server (v-webmail) (just apache and connects to the pop/imap server)And 1 pop/imap server (postfix, dovecot)I also want to implement smtp authentication because of all the mobile clients i have to host... This is where it gets tricky.
I want to export the unix user table of the old mandrake server and import that into a mysql database. This database will be used to authenticate the smtp users.I also want the export of the unix users to import it to the other pop/imap server so users can logon to that server instead of the crappy Mandrake server.I would expect that the export from unux users to mysql (including passwords) is the hardest part. I googled it, but some of the stuff i found didnt seem to be very reliable, so thats where you guys kick in :-). So is this possible? If so, how can i do it?I know i should go with some kind of ldap situation but that seems a way bigger hassle then this setup.
Samba up and running on my pc. pc runs FC12 with kde. A laptop has win vista. The pc can access the shares on the laptop but the laptop has authentication issues to access the pc. Note that windows doesnt enforce authentication forincoming network connections.Using the system-config-samba util i tried to map a windows user to the unix user "feduser". The laptop (named LAPPY) has a user (lapuser) which has on windows no password.What should I tell samba config what the windows username should be? lapuser or LAPPYlapuser doesnt work because when accessing the pc via the laptop, the authentication fails. The only auth that is successful is when choosing the same winusername as the unix username.
Secondary, id like to setup the laptop so that the user doesnt have to provide a name and password, or at least not more then once in the lifetime of the laptop. Note that you cant provide an empty password to system-config-samba. How is that possible?
Strange but not really on issue imho:the samba - KDE control module(kcmshall4) (and the smb.conf) shows 2 shares: the homedirs and the data dir the samba server configurator (system-config-samba) shows only the datadir.
I work as an system administrator for AIX and Linux servers. We have an FTP server running in Linux which has shared folders to Windows domain using Samba. The new requirement is to map users created to Linux machine to Windows users in such a way that, when a user logins into Windows machine with an ID say "X123" in domain "TEST", his access control to the samba shares should reflect based on the same user ID created in Linux machine.(FYI. Both the Windows and LINUX machines are in same network and domain). Please let me know the step by step procedure to configure Linux machine (smb.conf entries or any new file to be created for user mapping) to identify Windows user Login and provide access restrictions accordingly.
