Nov 1, 2010Running a server using CentOS 5.5 (yum updated, x86_64), found that when using /usr/sbin/useradd to create system user, the quota for the user will default set to 5M soft and 10M hard (on /var/spool/mail partition). As remember the default setting for user quota should be both zero when create a new user.
man useradd and quota related command and no help, had any idea how to change/set the default quota when create user.
Ubuntu Networking :: Create A Single User ISP Over DSL?
Oct 28, 2010I have a good question. I have a friend that lives in an area where he cannot receive DSL or Cable internet. He has a phone line, and physically able to get DSL, but the company won't give him service. He has Verizon wireless, but the reception is bad and his service gets dropped too much.
I however, have DSL 3.0Mbps and want to know how I could get him a DSL modem to dial up to my server at my house and receive internet. I know that I would probably need two phone lines to do this, but apart from that.
Ubuntu Networking :: FTP Server - Setting Default Directory Per User
Jun 21, 2010I am using VSFTPD as my FTP daemon. I want it to be set up so that my user (cj) will have a default directory of / when I log on to the FTP server and I want the secondary account (guest) to have it's home directory as the default location without any access to the root of the drive.
I need my account to have the default as / because the FTP client that I use in Windows won't go up to the parent directory of the default. Therefore, I cannot access the rest of my drive.
When I set "local_root" to "/" , it brings both users to the / directory when they sign in, even though the guest account is set to open the home directory with the "chroot_list_enable". It seems like the local_root option overrides the chroot_list_enable option.
Is there any way to set the default directory for each local user separately?
Also, Let me know if this is impossible with this FTP daemon
CentOS 5 Networking :: How Do I Set Sbin In Default Path For Non Root User
Jun 25, 2009I'm running a server with CentOS 5 where the software that needs to run on the server uses ifconfig to verify the system IPv4.The problem is that /sbin isn't set for the user that is supposed to run the software (sadmin) which means the software can't execute ifconfig and thus terminates.now the workaround I've been using is simply to input.

Aug 7, 2009I need to create an SSH user that can only access the directory I would specify for them. For example, I've been able to execute the following:
useradd -d /home/me/directory_for_this_user someuser
So when someuser logs in they get into this directory. Problem is that once they log in they can simply execute:
cd /
and navigate through all other directories which is a security risk.
How I could limit someuser's access to only /home/me/directory_for_this_user and its subdirectories and nowhere else in the system?

View 6 Replies View RelatedRed Hat / Fedora :: Login - Error "no Profile For The User Can Be Found And It Couldnt Create Per-user Gnome Configuration Directory"
Aug 8, 2010I have a network set up that has been working for around a year with no problems but has now developed a login problem. The system was set up with a main server with all users on it and another PC located elsewhere that people could log onto using there personal login and password that then gained access to the account on the main server. This remote PC has now got the problem. When you try to log onto an account it comes up with the message "your session has lasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged out yourself this could mean there is a installation problem or that you are out of disk space."
Error message says that no profile for the user can be found and it couldnt create per-user gnome configuration directory. I can log on as root onto the remote PC as it is obviously a local account but all the account on the main server are not accessible. From the root account I can see that the connection to the server is OK and I can actually log into the accounts on the server using the failsafe session so the physical network is OK.
I never built or designed this set up and to be honest I normally work with windows so its all a bit strange to me. Both PC's run Centos 5. I have checked the messages log and there doesnt seem to be any indication of a problem. Just that it stopped connecting from the remote PC. The accounts are all active on the main server itself and have no problems being accessed.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Use The Default, Create A New Profile
Jan 18, 2010I was reading some threads this morning and saw mention of the envy script. I wondered if it would make a big difference in graphics (nothing was wrong just curious is all) and downloaded the script. I ran it and there was only one listing for an ATI driver. I installed it and upon reboot I a notification pops up in place of my desktop. It says something about having to use low-res. The thing is it won't even use low-res. I get a box with three choices on it. Use the default, create a new profile, ***something else I forget*** and none of these logs me into desktop.
I blindly checked through some of the boxes and saw some logs. I'm using my dual-boot to type this message. This is on my R51e that has an ATI X200M card. What do I do?
EDIT: So upon reading some threads it seems I will most likely have to reinstall the OS? Am I allowed to throw a temper tantrum here???
I implore anyone who knows how to remove that 8.66***some other numbers*** driver and go back to the default one! I don't think I'll be mucking around with these types of things again!

Ubuntu :: DWM As Default For One User But Not Others?
Sep 10, 2010I have a desktop that I would like to use DWM with. I have used DWM before and love it, but that was on computers that no one else would use. Previously, I used xinitrc without a display manager. I'd like to keep my ubuntu 10.04 system more or less as is for all but one user- me. In the Login Screen preference dialog I can choose the default session but I would like to change only the default for one user. Is this possible? I'd like for gdm to just run an .xsession script as I did before instead of launching the default gnome session with metacity window manager, but I'll accept any solution which allows me to use dwm as the window manager for only one user. I'm very familiar with dwm and related tools but I do not have a proper understanding of how gdm works to fix this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Changing Default User
Mar 22, 2016I'd like to know if there's a reliable way to change the default user in Debian: when I installed testing starting from Jessie, I used rsync to set up a duplicate stable installation and then upgraded it to testing, as a result I now have the same username for both installations, which is sometimes kinda confusing.
Reading around a bit, looks like you can indeed change your username with relative ease, but then there will be always something left behind somewhere still pointing at the old username: is that the case?
Ubuntu :: 10.04 - How To Autologin Default User After Log Out
May 12, 2010In 9.04 this worked. Log out and in 10 seconds a default user logs in if no keys are pressed. I need this in 10.04. This is great for my Mom's PC. When one of her grandchildren visits for the weekend they can log Mom out and use their ID, bookmarks games etc. Then when they finish they logout and the PC logs Mom back in. Mom doesn't have to fish around for a password. She's 81 and I try to make things easy for her. In both 10.04 and 9.04 I have /etc/gdm/custom.conf with
Code:
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=ridgeland
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=ridgeland
TimedLoginDelay=10
In 9.04 log out and in 10 seconds it does an autologin. With 10.04 log out and it goes to the select a user screen and stays there. Where is the configuration file? What do I change? Disable something like SELinux?
General :: Default Directory For New User?
Mar 17, 2011I have created a Linux (openSUSE 11.2) fileserver and have successfully created 40 users who map to the Linux box for the purpose of backing up files on their Windows computers. The existing users all sync their files to /mnt/sync_data/home/username. The problem is that when I create new users their home directory (I hope I'm understanding this correctly)is: /home/username. I don't know how to redefine the home directory from /home/username to /mnt/sync_data/home/username.
View 2 Replies View RelatedCentOS 5 :: Specific Uid And Gid For Default User
Jul 9, 2009Because I keep a lot of data on a Netgear ReadyNAS which can be presented as a NFS server, I would like to have the default CentOS user have a uid and gid that match those for the user that owns the main NFS share. That way I can treat it as if it were a directory that I owned on the local machine. I'm probably going to install CentOS 5.3 over again to get a totally clean system. What is the neatest way to ensure that the default user has the desired uid and gid? Or is there a better way to work with the NAS? (Right now I'm running it with CIFS shares, but these are quirky and do not behave quite like a local file system, I'm hoping that NFS would be more consistent, but previously attempts to run NFS were hampered by different uid and gid values).

I would like it to have it use something lighter like twm when logged in as guest. But I still want a full gnome session when anyone else logs in.
