I have 4 machines running 10.04 32 bit Intel--- all use SSH to connect to a remote server drive (disk). All except one of the machines work just fine when accessing the remote drives. The fourth PC keeps asking for a password with every directory change.
If I select cancel three times (on the troublesome unit), the desired directory opens but then the same routine occurs with the next directory change.

There are over a dozen of servers that I need to monitor for services running on them. Hence, I have created a separate VM on which I am hosting scripts for various purposes. I have written a script (bash) that checks the status of the services running on those servers. Since my script has this line of command (for example):
Code: /sbin/service vsftpd status I have created a user (let's name it user_monitor) and added it to /etc/sudoers file by issuing "visudo" on all the servers. Since I need to execute the command remotely from the VM so I have generated a Public RSA Key (ssh-heygen) and added it to "authorized_keys" file on all the servers. But on some servers when issue a command such as the following:

I'm having problems setting up an email client. Tried both Evolution (which looks good) and Thunderbird but both of them will not prompt for my password when connecting to my mail servers. I've quadruple checked my settings and everything looks OK however I do not get the password prompt.Creating an account in Evolution is almost the same as that shown in the documentation but I do not get prompted for the time zone. Checking where Evolution stores the passwords also comes up with different results on my computer as the location specified does exist but is empty.Evolution is running at 2.28.1 and Thunderbird is 2.0.0.24

I have installed Ubuntu three times now, and I'm running into same problem all the time, both with Karmic Koala (9.10) and now also Lucid Lynx (10.04):
When I configure Evolution for IMAP access to my GMAIL account, it never prompts me for a password. Instead, I guess Evolution tries to connect without any password and fails every time. Switching to Thunderbird didn't do the trick either, so I think it might have something to do with the Keyring daemon. My Internet connection is fine, as I can access my account under other operating systems.
Things I've tried so far:
"Forget passwords" in the evolution menu
Forcing shutdown of evolution and deleting the ~/.evolution folder (as suggested by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=221112)
Accessing the keyring and deleting the default keyring

Its taking too much time to prompting me to enter password after boot-up and it is asking me to enter PAM_MOUNT password.
I entered the password which i use to login to my computer and it is not letting me to log-in.
I tried using safe mode and am not able to login through command line.

ive installed adobe AIR on my ubuntu karmic x64 distro as per the instructions on adobe's website, but whenever an adobe air app launches it prompts me for a password. I remember (before gnome-keyring-manager was replaced with seahorse) I found a way around it, but i gather that gnome-keyring-manager has been replaced now

I have configured a FTP (VSFTPD) Server in RHEL 5.6, which resulted me a default directory /var/ftp/pub. Even i have cerated another Directory /var/ftp/accounts. Where Accounts Directory is owned by user x in my server. I have a issue with this, It prompts me User and Password while accessing this ftp 192.168.5.20 in Linux Servers. But while i am trying this through a windows machine by ftp://192.168.5.20 it gets directly accessed without prompting me any User and Password.
I need to have FTP environment same like windows. where it must prompt me user name and password, and i must be able to upload and download data from my windows clients.

I am using CentOS 5.6 and recently, well since I updated to 5.6 when I login through ssh/telnet I am prompted to change the password of any account which is my LDAP directory. Local accounts are unaffected. I haven't tried the console as this server is tucked away in a tiny room. This is really annoying because I don't want to run password expiry on that server and I'm sure that there's nothing in LDAP to indicate password expiry is on. My shadowmax is 9999 by default for every account..which is over 27 years I think. It's only started recently. I'd like to know how I can turn the expiry message off. I'd like to get rid of cracklib as well.
my etc/pam.d/sshd is
#%PAM-1.0
auth include system-auth
account required pam_nologin.so
account include system-auth
password include system-auth
session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session include system-auth
session required pam_loginuid.so

I am suddenly not prompted for my password when I run any command as sudo on a few of my Ubuntu servers.
if I run sudo -K, the session is cleared, and I am prompted again for my password, however it saves/caches it until I run sudo -k again even if I log out and back in. I want it to prompt me for my password, as it should (and did) by default, for security.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Here's my /etc/sudoers file code...

I've been fiddling with Ubuntu for the first time ever today and eventually managed to get the drivers for the network adapter installed. Now, I'm trying to get the computer running it onto my home network; I set it up to connect automatically, entered the WEP key, and hit apply, marveling at how convenient it was.
...So far it's still caused me less trouble than some of the the bizarre problems I've had trying to get a Windows computer on a network, but...it just won't connect. At all. It says it is connecting, eventually prompts me for the key again, says it is connecting again, etc, repeat on infinite loop. Except for the occasional times that it stops trying and then, oddly enough, proceeds to state that it is not connected to e of neighbor's network*, which it wasn't trying to connect to in the first place

I just upgraded Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Now when I use vpnc to connect from the command line using vpnc-connect, I'm not only prompted for my password as usual, but now also being prompted for a "Passcode". Here's what the login attempt looks like:
Enter password for jegan@some.vpnhost.net:
Passcode for VPN jegan@216.23.18.33:
I've been using the same /etc/vpnc/default.conf file for years.Note that I do not have an /etc/vpnc.conf, or any of the other configuration files that vpnc checks for.Here's a modified copy of my /etc/vpnc/default.conf file:

When I started using Firefox It always used to prompt me if I wanted to save the session to start next time when it closed. I accidentally clicked not to ask me to do this action again. And now I want that pop-up box back and I can't find a setting to get it back

When I run 'apt-get install <some_package>' it asks you to enter configuration information for some packages. I'd like to be able to install a list of packages automatically without having to enter any information, ie. an automated installation. I looked in the man page for apt-get, and I was looking for maybe 2 possibilities:
1) Tell it not to require input; I'll download the configuration files later
2) Enter the options in the apt-get command.
I found what _might_ be what's required for option (2), the --option, but I found the instructions for using it not understandable. It says 'The syntax is -o Foo::Bar=bar', but I don't know where to go from there, and I'm not even sure it's relevant to what I want to do. I want to install nslcd, and either sort out the configuration later (I have an ldap config file ready), or enter the ldap configuration along with the apt-get command. At present I have to enter the information interactively, which negates the possibility of an unattended install.

I have an encrypted disk, using LUKS / dm-crypt, on Fedora 14.Every time I boot, I am immediately prompted for the passphrase. This happens VERY early in the boot process, and is a graphical screen (ie not console text). If I hit escape, I am prompted in a text-mode for the same passphrase. If I hit escape or return a few times, boot continues normally.
I only mount the disk occasionally, and don't want to be prompted at boot for the passphrase to luksOpen the disk at boot. I manually cryptsetup luksOpen and then mount it when I want access. I just don't want to be asked at boot, and don't want to unlock it until I do so manually.Does anyone how how I can tell Fedora to not attempt to decrypt / mount this filesystem at boot?It's not in /etc/fstab. I should mention, no LVM, just mdadm raid5 on the partition + luks /dm-crypt.

I'm using SAMBA as a file server on a Ubuntu Server 10.04 32-bit. I'm using a 10.6.4 Mac client and a Windows 7 client. I created shortcuts on the client machines to point to the shared folders with embedded credentials ("Remember password" is ticked), but the problem is that whenever the Windows user logs off, the credentials are forgotten and the user needs to re-enter them. This problem does not occur on the Mac client.
Code:
# Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.
#
#
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed

Since reinstalling Ubuntu 9.10 and learning how to get the Notification Area working properly:
I've noticed an bunch-of-keys icon appearing intermittently in my notification area.
It appeared about 20 mins ago. I hovered the mouse over it and it generated the following text:
"Click on the icon to drop all elevated privileges"
I right-clicked on the icon, thinking I might learn something more about it. But it disappeared. No other messages were given.
It appeared again about five or ten minutes ago. I did not click on it. But it disappeared of its own accord after a minute or two.
What is this? Should I have clicked on it? What have I done? How can I get this bunch of keys under my control?

I'm trying adjust my proftpd server's settings, that anonymous users could download what they need smoothly.
A small problem made me so bemused:
In the configuration file of proftpd, I place the following setting section in the <anonymous> section,
Code:
After restarting the proftpd server and applying the configuration, I try downloading a file in IE browser. Sometimes, it prompts a saveas dialog, and everything was okay.
However, it occasionally prompts a login form instead of a SaveAs dialog. This makes our customers confused greatly.
So, how could I prevent browser from prompting login form when anonymous users try to download files from our ftp server?

I recently installed Ubuntu in my PC, without uninstalling windows coz it`s not really mine, its my father`s. When he saw the boot (like a month later, he REALLY uses the PC...) he went crazy and instantly ordered me to "uninstall that thing". Of course i`m not stupid to do that after a month of seeing how Ubuntu is... I want to know if/how can I make the pc start on windows auto, without prompting by showing the choose system screen, and when i open boot menu (i don`t remember, but i think its F-eight) i have both choices, so I can keep Linux without him knowing.

I am an old Ubuntu user and have just strted running F11 on my iBook. I always run system-config-samba on all my machines including my server and even on my work server which shares with windows, Linux and OSX and have found it to be perfect. I installed it straight away on the new Fedora system but It doesn't seem to be functioning the way i expected it to.
I installed system-config-samba and then set up one share folder "Public" with open read write privileges and then turned off the Fedora Firewall all together. But "public" did not become open until I entered the user password for the fedora machine. But, then I could see all folders on the Fedora machine. Even root on the fedora machine became write-able on the network. This was not the desired effect at all. I am assuming fedora is using a non system-config-samba file share system that I am unfamiliar with. what is it? and how does it work?

I hate to make a new thread for something that has probably already been solved, but searching through all the threads can be a challenge in itself.Every time I log in to Ubuntu 10.04 I am asked for the password to my Wi-Fi connection. About a week ago it was working fine, however after, I think, the second update Ubuntu was longer able to remember the password. Its not a major problem as I can access the Internet its just really inconvenient.
