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 want to know the command which will list the local users created by me not system users.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using ubuntu 9.04. I created new users, & users logged in with their name & password. Everything is working fine. But when they open gui terminal or when they login using CLI(using ctrl+alt+f1), they will get only "$" symbol, instead of full path like pwd, hostname, etc. And if I do ls, it is listing the content, but command completion is not happening, i.e $cd Des(pressing tab). These all things can be fixed only after pressing "bash". So I don't always want to press "bash". So is there any way that I can fix this issue.
View 6 Replies View RelatedAllow me to submit that i did a mistake of not saving the work which i done in the past few months. i have used history command to see the previous commands. But trouble is that since i had worked a lot on gnome-terminal, only last 1000 commands are shown. Is it possible to see list of all the previous commands for all users. Also, sorry if this sounds absurd, but is it possible to save the details of a session onto a single file ? I not sure but when i had worked on vector Linux, i had used some command to save sessions at the terminal. Is there any analogous command in Ubuntu 10.04 also ?

Can someone please tell me how I can use grep to display all users running a particular command.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to learn shell scripting from a book and all I am doing is following few instruction from the book. Now this is what I am doing. I am trying to add a user using the useradd command so I run the following at command prompt root@S8500C_9>useradd ajit. The first time when I add this user I was successful.Later I deleted this suer using the userdel -r ajit command.Now when again I am trying to add this user it gives me following error. useradd: group ajit exists - if you want to add this user to that group, use -g.

View 1 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.
c* The user's default shell.
d* The user's NIS or LDAP group.
e* The user's home directory.
Which is the correct answer? I have my own thinking which will be explained later.
I've been asked by my professor to add the list of users to a linux server (not sure of the OS type I think he said debian) but anyway. He gave me this script to add users.
Code: #!/bin/bash
# Script to add a user to Linux system
if [ $(id -u) -eq 0 ]; then
read -p "Enter username : " username
read -s -p "Enter password : " password
egrep "^$username" /etc/passwd >/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "$username exists!"
exit 1
else
pass=$(perl -e 'print crypt($ARGV[0], "password")' $password)
useradd -m -p $pass $username
[ $? -eq 0 ] && echo "User has been added to system!" || echo "Failed to add a user!"
fi
else
echo "Only root may add a user to the system"
exit 2
fi
I need to see if I can get this script to read a file that list the usernames and their passwords using the pipe command (or some similar command) so I can just do it in one batch. I've done some searching but there are so many vairiations of the code that I've confused myself. Also, I'm not too familiar with linux, it's been a few years since I've used it but in the prior script, I need to add the users to an existing group named "forensics". Which line would I change/add in order to do this?
I know this is normal behaviour but I'd like to know why. When I type the users command in the terminal I'm shown twice.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find a method or tool to know the exact command history of all my users.I have tried to use "psacct" ,but it is not solving my perpous as it is only giving the command name.means let say 10 users have used "rm" command to remove 10 differint files then I want to know which user has removed what file.
But psacct will only give me the command name like rm used bu the user name.Then I tried to use the "w: command but it is also not solving the problem..
Just wondering is there a command that would show me the details of whose currently logged on and how their logged on i.e. ssh/samba etc?
