General :: Red Hat 5 - Login - Asking Me For A User Name At The Terminal
Oct 28, 2010
I am using red hat 5. It is asking me for a user name at the terminal. I do not understand what it is asking of me. A user name was never established during installation of the program. it did ask for a root password during installation which i provided. At the terminal i did try typing "root" for the log in and the actual root password for the password. It gave me administrative access.
However, i don't know the correct command that will take me to the desktop. For windows i simply typed in win or exit to go to the main windows desktop. Linux is foreign to me... can anyone help? I would be greatful for the advice. I am a windows junky from way back.

For some reason my terminal now opens as -bash-4.0$ and will not let me login as any user.Is there anyway to fix this? It's very annoying and I've never came across it before.

I recently set up a family computer for a friend, and now his son is "experimenting" with the terminal (randomly entering commands). since he could accidentally do something bad, I am supposed to prevent him from using terminals, but only as hi user. I tried vlock and away, but with vlock it says 'this terminal is not a virtual console', and away can't seem to lock all consoles.

difference b/w a login shell and a non-login shell ?
I know that when we use su - <username> we are getting a login shell & when we use su <user-name> we are getting a non-login shell.
Do we get any additional privileges when we have a login shell compared to a non-login shell ?

I am using the sudo command to log on locally as another user by the following command:
sudo -u theotheruser -s
or
sudo -u theotheruser sh
As I see it, this initiates a new shell with the mentioned other user.However, this doesn't load that users profile from his home directory.Is there a way to automatically read the users profile when login in with selected command? I am mostely interested in getting a working prompt when logged in.

So I've got this home file server, and I want to display certain stuff using:
top
who
a tcpdump of snort logs, scrolling in real time
I want it to display on the screen using a split terminal screen, so all of the information shows on one display, but I do not want it to be vulnerable to a local attacker. Is there any way I can have these things start up at login, but prevent that user from doing anything other than viewing this information?

I'd like to change the login thing on the left of the terminal: [james@xxxxxx home]$ But can't figure out what it's called to do a search, so figured I'd ask all in one! What is it called, and how do I customise it in bash_profile ?

Talk about being thrown in at the deep end! I am not used to linux systems but I have inherited a linux based internet setup that I need to take care of.Two machines (both have centOS 5) are networked and one is accessing the /home directory so people can log onto their personal home folder.The log in screen on the second machine usually just requires the individual to input their username and password and it automatically accesses their folder on the other machine.At the moment it doesnt and comes back with an error saying that the session lasted less than 10 seconds. Looking at the error message it is saying that the profile was not found and couldnt create per-user gnome configuration directory.
I am able to log in to the local root user on the machine and I can see the networked drive and even access the home directory.looking thru the network setting I see that the other machine seems to be acting as a samba server?? and is connected with SFTP?Any idea how to fix this problem as I have a load of guys sharing 1 PC for internet access in the middle of the atlantic Ocean on a ship!

I was doing some rather lengthy procedures using a terminal. Then I wrote script using Kate, and input it into that terminal, and then realized that I was logged in as a normal user in that terminal as opposed to a superuser, which is how I was logged in at the other terminal. I've never noticed this before because I've never done anything that takes this long.
Is there any way to link all terminal sessions in such a way that they all show me logged in as the same user? I don't even know if this is even important, but I don't want to risk losing any things that I had done.

I'm running debian lenny. Suddenly when I rebooted my system I was unable to login. I type root and the password and it tells me the login is incorrect.If I boot into single user mode, it accepts the password just fine. Looking in the /etc/shadow file, it appears to be fine as well.Running passwd to set a new password sets a new password just fine, i can login to single user mode with the new password, however, I cannot login at a higher runlevel with the password.
If I delete a password in the /etc/shadow file, then try to login as that user, it simply says "Login Incorrect" without even asking for a password.

Does any one know if the command above is correct?

Ubuntu 8.10 does not ask for a password to login. I have only one user set up. I have set the user password from System > Administration > Users & Groups. Still does not ask for password > logs in straight away.

I have 389-DS ( Fedora DS) setup on CentOS 5.3 and working fine. I configured LDAP Client and want to login as user created under fedora DS Client. From Client Machine, I can easily see:
Code:
[root@fedoraDS-Client ~]# id ajrain
uid=569(ajrain) gid=569 groups=569 context=root:
system_r:unconfined_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh
This is User from LDAP Server (fedora DS Server) which is showing in Client Machine. So It means its retreiving value from Server. Correct? Now When I am trying to login , it says "Server unexpectedly closed network Connection". When I supplied user password:
Code:
login as: ajrain
ajrain@fedoraDS-Client's password:
The File /var/log/secure says:
Code:
Jan 27 02:39:27 localhost sshd[3996]: pam_unix(sshd:auth):
authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0
tty=ssh ruser= rhost=10.210.53.104 user=ajrain
