Is there anyway to prevent a user from being able to logon at a machine (Terminal and XWindows) but allow that user to logon remotely using SSH? This user is for remote capture of logs only - on a private network (no internet access).
In fedora 14, the user order on GNOME login screen is completely different from that in fedora 13. Is there any way to order the users by date of creation ASC, not by name ASC?
Also, it is completely random. This time when I started my computer, my account was listed first. When I started this thread, it was listed last. What's happening?
I'm running Suse 11.1. MySQL is installed. I downloaded and installed the software for MySQLAdmin and MySQLBrowser, this was one software package so both got installed at the same time. My question is this; When I log into MySQL to use the Admin Tools it doesn't like my root password. So I log in as 'localhost' with the id of 'root' and no password and I get right into the main Admin menu. Why doesn't it accept the root password and how can I change the root login to need to have a password. Will just changing the password in MySQL Admin do the trick?
If you need to to exclude one or mode user from your gdm login window you must edit "/etc/gdm/gdm.schemas" and add the user you want exclude from the <key> "greeter/Exclude" (near the other user in <default></default>)
Sometimes my user list is empty on start-up. When it happens the buttons beneath the empty list (shutdown, suspend and restart), are not responding. As a work-around I login to the first terminal as root to restart the machine and usually my normal user account appears back on the list. This morning the reboot work-around didn't work any more..
having a hard time mapping a drive from a windows xp PC to a Linux Share. I have edited the SMB.conf file to include the share I want to connect to. when I try try map a drive to the Linux share using NET USE M: \192.168.15.5pairing I get the following error:"system error 1326 has occurred.Logon filaure: unknown user name or bad password."I use a username and password that is valid on the Linux server and has access to the Share.
Our system is based on RH4 and is using pam_tally and faillog to record failed attempts and to lock users out after 5 attempts. We have a requirement to provide a normal (non-root) user logging onto our system, with information regarding the number of failed logon attempts made on their account before the current successful logon (similar to the functionality provided by HP Protect Tools on Windows). My first idea was to add 'faillog -u $USER' to the bashrc, however by the time the bashrc is run - the user has been successfully authenticated and the faillog has been reset back to zero.
I have got a RHEL 5.6 server configured to authenticate via a Windows 2008 domain controller via LDAPS.Everything is working fine, except from the following: When I create a new user in Active directory and check the option "user must change password at next logon", the new user cannot logon and gets an "access denied" message. In /var/log/secure, I find the following:
Mar 1 14:43:21 cpssvn10 sshd[5363]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=192.168.3.12 user=testuser2 Mar 1 14:43:21 cpssvn10 sshd[5363]: pam_ldap: error trying to bind as user "CN=CPSS Testuser 2,OU=IBM,DC=cpss,DC=smarterplatform,DC=com" (Invalid credentials) Mar 1 14:43:23 cpssvn10 sshd[5363]: Failed password for testuser2 from 192.168.3.12 port 4583 ssh2
As soon as I uncheck the "user must change ..." option, the user can log on without problems. Also password change via the passwd command works.
So I was fiddling around with things earlier today, trying to figure out how to use ssh to remotely view a desktop, and I accidentally set the DISPLAY property to something else using Code: export DISPLAY=something I can't remember.But I don't know how to set it back, nor what it should be set back to.
I have a Dell Laptop Studio 1735 with an ATI Radeon HD3650 installed and OpenSuse 11.3.
The other features are:
My intention is to install the property driver as showed in the following link
Upgrading ATI driver with atiupgrade
But before, I would like to ask you few questions, because even after having read very carefully the post, I have some doubts:
1) Do I have to run the script in X or KDE?
2) Every time I updated the kernel (using the online updating for example), I understood that I must recompile the module fglrx.ko, with the script at the following address:
automatically recompile kernel modules after kernel update
Or I will get a lof of video issues. The file fglrx.ko will be created in the following path:
/lib/modules/2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop/extra/fglrx.ko
3) I must be sure that in the file /etc/X11/Xorg.conf, the parameter Driver must be setup to fglrx and not radeonhd.
Unfortunately, in my computer this file does not exist, what I found is /etc/X11/Xorg.conf.install and as I reported below there is no trace of a Driver parameter.
Code:
As you can see there is no "Driver" parameter. Is it a problem?
4) In the case something will go wrong, can I roll back to my previous driver?
5) Do I always type the command atiupgrade - - initial, the first time I perform the installation?
I try to set up a Ubuntu server that links 4 PC/Mac machines. How can I modify a folder property so that my linked PC can access (Create and delete) while the Mac can't or the other way around? Now, I have created a folder from Ubuntu, It lets all or none linked computers to have the same right.
I need to manager printers from shell. The version is Centos 5.4. At this moment i cannot manager printers, and somebody told me that i need to reinstall centos. Is it possible to do anything to reactivate that property, without reinstalation?
lately i notice that when i add a new user withthe useradd and passwd command, and then try to login using this new account, am being prompted with a message,saying ' you cannot access /home/newuser. that the account doesnot have permission on his home directory. i have even tried go give the user(john) ownership over his home directory with the #chown -R john:john /home/john
I've updated to OpenSuse 11.3 (zypper dup) and now I cannot use seamonkey or firefox application. It freeze, even with -safe-mode. I get a gtk message error when launching this application in a terminal with GTK_DEBUG set :

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and have a 2TB external hard drive where I store several hundred movies. Each movie is contained in its own folder (in case the movie is broken up into more than 1 file). All the movie folders are contained in one "Movies" folder, so a typical movie location would be something like:
Because of this, my movies are in alphabetical order, which is nice if I'm looking for a specific movie, but I'd also like to classify each movie into one or more genres. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a certain type of movie, and don't want to just browse aimlessly through the alphabetical list. So for example, The Matrix might be classified as Action, Science Fiction, and Thriller. If I were to add these genres into the "Notes" property of a movie folder, is it possible to conduct a search for words only in these notes? So that if I did a search for "Thriller" this movie and any other movie I classified as a thriller would show up?
I was unable to change the permissions for root node and for other users also. WE have tried all the possibilities like chmod and chmod -R 777 filenem. But we are unable to change that.
I'm trying to access a share across the net. the share is a disk "fat32" which I mounted using "vfat users,rw,exec 0 0." However, after I created the samba user "smbpasswd -a user" I'm still unable to access the share across the net. ports are open, and entry has been made in smb.conf for share. But I'm having problems giving permission to smb user. the share it is mounted on /media/share, and I've tried everything from
chmod -R ug+rwx /media/share chmod -R ugo+rwx /media/share chown -R user /media/share and I always get unable to set permission for user
