General :: New Users With Root Login - Error: "No Such File Or Directory"
Jun 28, 2011
On a new installation of Linux Red Hat server, I was adding new users from the list using "newusers" command. I did not realize that one of the users was "root" so this is what line I loaded by error (among other users) : root:root:1176:501::/home/circuser:/bin/bash all other users from the list (160 of them) got loaded properly. I still have valid root login that I could use, but I'm not able to log in as root anymore. If I log in as user and then try "su" or "su -" I get error: ": No such file or directory".
I compared /etc/passwd, group and shadow on this server with old one I'm replacing and entry for root looks the same:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash ( in passwd)
root:x:0: (in /etc/group)
root:$1$OILC.ETm$LkoGprgqqgv6v8oLRUBnf.:15153:0:99999:7::: (in /etc/shadow) - similar to my old server

I have recently experienced a problem that occurred after an automatic update. After the update it said restart system. So I did and proceeded as normal. when after the reboot Firefox suddenly stopped working, crashed and upon clicking it again only a blank box appeared. Then my other apps followed and i soon couldn't do anything so i shut down my computer. Upon restart I got a black screen with tons of text and something around the lines of
mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting / sys/ on root/sys failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or dirctory
[code]....
So I rebooted and pressed shift to open that grub thing and booted from an earlier kernel. This time it said checking HD for errors and after booted normally. Everything seemed fine but next day it did it again. Starting with Firefox crashing and then everything else. I again booted from a previous kernel and it worked but upon checking with uname -a it did not list the kernel i chose to boot from. So I decided to upgrade 10.04 to 10.10. This upgraded my kernel and deleted the old ones so i am hoping i am good now.

I just installed slackware 13.1. And I get the following error with a normal user when I connect my memory stick:
Failed to mount "Crucial". Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.211" (uid=1000 pid=2275 comm="exo-mount) interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member="Mount" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0 pid=1723 comm="/usr/sbin/hald)).
When run the command groups the user is member of the following groups: users floppy audio video cdrom plugdev power scanner
What else I need to change so the USB works?

Okay, so on occasion when I boot into ubuntu I get this error
[mount: mounting /dev /root/dev failed: no such file or directory]
[mount: mounting /dev /root/sys failed: no such file or directory]
[mount: mounting /dev /root/proc failed: no such file or directory]
[code]...
I get the error when I open any of the kernel versions or any recovery mode. Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop is the only OS installed on the computer, which is a Lenovo S10-3. I can eventually get it to go away, sometimes by repeatedly unplugging it and plugging it back in, and sometimes I will boot into GParted, do nothing, then restart and it will work.I have found some solutions online, but all of them involve the error happening as a result of dual booting with Windows.I have made no major system changes recently, so I can't see anything like that being the problem.

I need to customize linux kernel root file system for embedded linux system. During compile time, for root file system I am able to create different user/group ex: "gnumuzic/Muzic". But I want to give access to group "Muzic" to some folders like /dev/nexig during compile time.

I tried to create a user on Solaris 10 but when I try to login the user with "su -" I get the error message "no directory". When I try to login with "su" I get the error message "no shell".
I tried the useradd several combinations e.g.
All the tries i made didn't work. I also checked the permissions on /etc, /bin, /sbin and / and it seems ok so that the newly created user can access them.

I have an ftp server and normal login works fine as well as ftps but for some reason sftp sends all my accounts to the root directory of the entire server (not good). Been searching around but can't find a fix.

I am running WHM and CPANEL on centos.I would like to upload a file to the root user directory. To be honest, my only experience uploading and downloading files with FTP has been with domain related accounts that were set up under WHM to be managed under CPANEL. This is quite simple, because all you do is set FileZilla or Dreamweaver up with the FTP address of the domain account and the username and password.How can I do something similar to FTP a file into the root or home directory?

login(pam_unix)[26769]:session opened for user root by LOGIN(uid=0)
login[26769]: Module is unknown

I have created a new user also but I couldn't login to the system. But I could login to the system as root and also with same new username password through putty from another machine.

I am trying to create a jailed shell for a user Don($UID '500') using my own method(I don't want to use any ready-made "jailkit"). The user don should get a home directory /jail/don instead of /home/don when he login via SSH (So that he will not able to see any other files/directories on the system)
This is what I have done.
Quote:
Code:
It works without any issue ....Home directory changes to /jail/don when I ssh to the system as user don. ie: #ssh don@192.168.0.66
Then I added a chroot command to this code.
Code:
Unfortunately , now I am getting an error message saying that "chroot: cannot change root directory to /jail: Operation not permitted" .. I am not sure how to rectify this error... Is my approach correct to get a jailed shell using /etc/profile file ?

I am migrating an application from HP-UX to Redhat Linux and I have some files of scripts. In one of the script files I have the line /pylive/smartPAY/spserver/scripts/sp.con which is the correct path and file name for an existing file. However I get the message "No such File or Directory/pylive/smartPAY/spserver/scripts/sp.con" The script worked fine in HP-UX, why not in Redhat Linux?

I've set up password-less login for user1 on a Ubuntu machine to login automatically into a Fedora box using the publickey authentication method. Everything is working smoothly. Now, there is a user2 on Fedora but he does not have an account on Ubuntu.
I tried to login as user2 from Ubuntu to but got the following error :
Code:
Predictably neither scp or sftp work either. I have several questions as a result.
1.Is the SSH server rejecting user2 login because I am inadvertently using user1 keys (as I am logged in as user1) ?
2. Do I need to have a user2 account on Ubuntu and public/private key authentication setup with Fedora for user2 to be able to login ?
3. Is there a method I can use to password login as user2 from Ubuntu to Fedora (even though there is no user2 account on Ubuntu) AND still keep password-less login for user1 or do I have to have password-less login for both ?
At present the only way to access the user2 account from Ubuntu is to SSH using the user1 account and then su to user2.

I am trying to compile a file named process_30sec.c(thats a C program) through the Ubuntu terminal and it is showing the following error in command terminal: process_30sec.c:15:23: error: asm/bitops.h: No such file or directory I have just started using Ubuntu&Linux so I am not familiar with lots of commands and things going around.I am using the following command to compile the process_30sec.c file:
kutub@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ gcc process_30sec.c
The above mentioned program file contains a header file <asm/bitops.h>, that I need to use in the program.It seems that this header file is not recognized by the system, and it needs to be included somewhere in the system so that the terminal would allow me to compile this program.
