I was trying to list sudo users in a Linux Machine,
[root@redhat ~]# grep -v -E '^#' /etc/sudoers
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
%work ALL=(ALL) ALL
%dilipvp ALL=(ALL) ALL
where work is a group and dilipvp is user. Can you help me in creating a better script which can list the members of the group work as well. and why I am getting empty space in between.
Is there a command to list all of the users I, as an administrator have created? It is difficult to tell the users I created from those created by the system by reading /etc/passwd. I thought 'man 5 passwd' would shed some light on this but is wasn't so

View 5 Replies View RelatedWe are trying to set up a classroom training environment where our SIG can hold classes for prospective converts from Microsoft/Mac. The ten machines will have /home/student01..10 and /home/linsig01..10 as users. We want /home/student01 to be able to explore and sudo so they can learn to administer their personal machines at home. We don't want them to be able to modify (sudo) /home/linsig01. I've seen the tutorial on Access Control Lists but I'd like other input so we get it right the first time.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was asked to list passwordless or locked accounts in a fedora system. As far as I know, fedora or RH dont allow passwordless accounts (the system locks the account Edit: ... unless you set passwd -d :-P ), so I might show info about locked accounts.
I am totally aware that I could do a grep or an awk searching for "!!" or "", but my people is asking me to check against passwd -S (which prints info of accounts). The thing, is that in Solaris you can check with passwd -a -s all the users, but in Linux I couldnt find anything similar. what approach do you reccomend for passing, say , the list of users ( like the output of awk searching only user names) to the command passwd -S one by one?
I have removed the trial of win 7 and want to use the empty space for Ubuntu 9.10, [46gb]. Opening disk utility shows 60gb hard drive, divided into system reserved 105mb, 46gb file system [Linux ext4 [version 1]], 13gb extended [contains no logical partitions], 13 gb [Linux ext4 [version 1]], 617mb swap space.Because I have given the 46gb space the same name as the 13gp space i.e. [Linux ext4 [version 1]],will this now be used By Ubuntu for data storage or do I need to do a complete re-install?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI had been browsing the web, suddenly I got a massage "only 64 Kb of free space" I Opened disk usage analyzer and I found out that there are 70 GB in my home folder, However the sum of sub folders is only 35 GB, therefore there should be some kind of huge file in my home folder , but I CAnT find it?
I can't even open firefox because I don't have enough space
I found it , it was .xsessions-errors
The partition is formatted to ext3, starting with block 1 on the drive. The mount point for /dev/sdc1 lists 0 files when doing `ls -A` `df -h` shows that the partition has 92MB used. How is this space being used, and how can I free it up?edit: I guess this isn't a newbie question.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a PC with Windows 2000 Pro installed in an NTFS partition of 60GB. My rest hard disk (500GB) is empty, no partition at all. When I run Ubuntu 10.04 installation after step number 3 I get a weird step number 4 showing prepare partitions with an empty array and no available command button at the bottom! So I can not create any partition... Also in step 4 I never see the "prepare disk space" menu. If I use a 9.04 Ubuntu CD and I try to install I get every menu fine as expected. I even tried the 10.04 CD to another PC with Windows XP PRO and the installer worked as expected for partitions.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just bought a new HP desktop, and I want to install Debian on the hard drive. I ran the Windows program on the Debian CD to start the install.
I selected Manual drive setting, and resized the large C: partition to 50 GB. I want to install Debian in some of the free space, only their isn''t any free space! The 400+ GB I took out of the C: partition is labeled "unusable" instead of "free space."
If I double click the unusable space, I am just given the cylinder/head/sector numbers. How I can make that space usable?

I was adding me and my bud to a new group I created, but I used -G instead of -g as the tutorial suggested, I think this removed me from all other groups and put me in the new one. The same with my bud. Now I dont have sudo privileges, nor does my bud, and we have not set a password for the root account.

sudo ls -l
USER@SERVER:/var$ sudo password for USER:
USER is not in the sudoers file. this incident will be reported.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need a way to have screen (or dbus, whatever) to spit out a list of windows (title and number) that are active in a screen session.I'm writing a wrapper for common work tasks. Part of the functionality will check if a certain window exists, and if so let me know. The idea here is to prevent accessing the same machine twice. (although, and override option would probably be needed, just in case, but I digress...) I've searched through the screen man page and don't see anything that'll work. I'm not beyond forking screen and ending up with a custom version. However, I'd like to avoid that if I can.
Edit: I'd like to see something like "screen -S screen_name -window-list" or similar.
i would like to prevent all users other than the user "parker" on my system from using the su or sudo commands. I have not attempted to modify the sudoers file so it just contains the standard root ALL = (ALL) ALL.

I use "sudo ntpdate time.bgr.local" as it is now and have to enter my user's password for it to work.I know root is disabled by default and would like to keep it that way if possible but if I have to enable it and then add it to root's cron list the so be it but would prefer not to.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI decided to consult you before making any changes, because the clients' PCs are spread all over the country and I do not have the physical access to their boxes.The idea is to take away the ability of using sudo for common users.I know that the syntax of this file may vary a bit in different distributions.Our OS is Ubuntu 10.10.I created the account 'support' for me and other technician stuff of our department. So, 'support' user must have all the power. And common users mustn't have access to 'sudo'. This is the requirement.As far as I remember, in Slackware the user must be a member of 'wheel' group to be able to use 'sudo' (but I may be wrong).

I am developing a I2C CDROM client driver. The CDROM firmware supports TOC information read through a I2C command. It sends the TOC information in burst ( Interrupts a GPIO pin when it is ready ) and my CPU does a I2C read to read the TOC. When the CDROM firmware finishes sending the last data burst , it informs my CPU that it is done with the TOC, by a flag in the last data burst. I would like to know, which is the most efficinet way I can send these TOC information to userspace?
