I've checked gdmsetup and there isn't anything that I can see that keeps my general users from getting in remotely. I can get the Gnome to login as root but not as a user. SSH from PuTTY works fine for all users. The error I get actually says that the username or password is incorrect - checked using SSH and it is fine.
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know how to restrict only certain users to log into my RHEL 5.3 cluster? I have tried using pam.d but no luck.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWell I did something pretty stupid and now I can't log in with my user other than the root user. Basically, I wanted to change my username and so I when to the admin > user & accounts - and selected the account I wanted to change. Anyway I did that and then logged out. Since then all I get when I reseted is a spinning mouse ball and a black screen. I can get into the shell prompt - but I'm not sure how I'd go about fixing this issue I created. At the moment I'm logged in the shell with root, and if I type 'id' I can see my old username, but I think the links behind it are broken.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe've used Exceed and Exceed3D X server software to run OpenGL 3D simulation software for a long time, and it has always worked great. Now, a new box that runs OpenSuSE 11.2 (kernel 2.6) shows terrible display performance with Exceed.
Exceed 10 on Windows XP works great for OpenSuSE 10 and earlier, but the same display platform grinds to a halt for OpenSuSE 11.2. We tried upgrading to the latest version of Exceed, version 14, but still no joy.
As an alternative, VNC works okay for desktop stuff, but just doesn't run the 3D apps like a dedicated server does (or should).
The reps at OpenText, the makers of Exceed, scratched their heads over this one.
I have a problem, I have installed Fedora 11. And i need to login as root user.
How to do so?
I've recently upgraded my hardware. Now, the system boots perfectly fine, but I can't login to the tty as root or any other user. Infact yes, I can login, but as soon as it shows Last Login, it exits and then I'm back to a login prompt. I've successfully booted into single user mode, and changed all the passwords, but still it fails. X doesn't start, although I think it's due to the old xorg.conf having the wrong driver.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrading FEdora 13, user ravi was added. Then after few days neel was added. Both of the users were already existing. So when attempting login to neel, we found that every file is owned by ravi. So we did$chown -R neel:neel But after that problem started and when we rebooted the machin, there were no list of users on login screen. (then I connected to that comp remotely, it worked, but somehow I was not able to switch to root) It says incorrect password (though I new it very well). So I went to maintenance mode and changed the root password, and rebooted. Still problem persists.Now I am not able to login as root (from anywhere, login screen , terminal, remote)No list of usernames on login screen ( but i can choose, other and type login-password)

[sujal@hclhome ~]$ sudo su
[sudo] password for sujal:
sujal is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
my linux system doesn't have X only console login possible. i would like to deny all user to login from any sources, local machine, remote console (putty, winscp) etc. except root.
i've found something about /etc/security/access.conf and i've put:
+ : root : ALL
- : ALL : ALL
but still users other then root are able to login (via putty for example).
I've tried to ssh in as the root user w/o a password (RSA keys) but I've had no luck as the root user. I've tried the exact same commands with Debian 5 and Centos 5.5, without a problem. Fedora 13 and 14 won't work! I can only log in w/o a password as a normal user, never as the root user! It always asks for the password if I try as root. I've even tried copying Debian's and Centos's sshd_config file and restarting sshd, but it still won't work.

mkdir ~/.ssh ~username/.ssh
chmod 0700 ~/.ssh ~username/.ssh

I just did a clean install of suse 11.2. I then installed acct, using yast2.Finally I did:sudo /sbin/chkconfig psacct onsudo /etc/init.d/psacct startSo far so good. The problem is that if I now do:sudo /usr/sbin/sa I only see root processes. None of the user processes seem to show up. If I run it with -m flag, I just see a total and a root row, no users show up at all. But I do have user accounts on the machine, and I am working in one of them (only root when necessary).Any ideas why, or what to do about it? Is there something else that has to be configured?As I understand it, sa -m should show a summary for all users, not just for root.I want to be able to see how much time different users are using.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried installing 10.04 via Wubi on a friend's notebook and have hit problems with the display. The installation seemed to proceed OK (took ages to download / install - left it running overnight) until it came to boot to Ubuntu. The GRUB menu appears OK, but choosing Ubuntu leads to a blank screen with some icons at the bottom, which is displayed for a few seconds, then the (login?) screen just shows rolling display, like an out-of-tune analogue TV. I suspect that I need a graphics driver or something? The notebook is a logiQ notebook, with 128MB SiS Mirage-3 graphics.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want the last login information whenever I log in through FTP.
This is possible for normal console and SSH logins by configuring in /etc/login.defs file. But I am not able to view the last login information when FTP is used.
I just added "export PATH=.:'printevn PATH'" to ~/.bashrc, then i can't use any commands, like "vim" or 'ls', it shows 'command not found'.
I cound't figure it out why. Then I logged out and tried to login. Another more serious problem occurred. after I type in login id and pass, it shows login seems to be right, but it doesn't login normally, but immediately bring me back to the login dialog box, and ask me to type log info again. I tried many times, it just constantly brought me back to the login page.
I am not sure if anyone here has any experience with Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux but my problem relates to that product.
I am running 11.2 openSUSE and after installing the latest version of the Kaspersky product in question, I went ahead and restarted the machine. At the logon screen, when clicking my user name to log in, the password box would not display.
I tried clicking on the other option and trying it that way and after putting my name in the username box, the machine just started thinking and thinking and nothing happens.
I also tried logging in through terminal service but it would not recognize my password to be correct.
I really need to log into my username since I have important files on that Linux partition. I tried mounting this partition in Windows since I have a dual boot setup but I can only view the folders of the partition and not the contents.
This is on an old machine that is running Solaris 7. I know that I can run the command script 'last' to get a list of who has logged in. When I do that I get a very long list of lines like:
username pts/4 100.32.11.123 Wed Dec 6 18:30 - 18:40 (00:09)
I see that the year is not posted. I have about 11 years worth of logins where users have logged in multiple times over several years.
So, here is what I need: I only need the date of the very last time a person logged in. I also need the year of that last login.
script that will do this? Something with output like
username1 pts/4 100.32.11.123 Wed Dec 6 2005 18:30 - 18:40 (00:09)
username2 pts/4 110.33.11.18 Tue Apr 20 2009 8:30 - 9:30 (01:00)
username3 pts/4 10.32.11.18 Mon Jun 12 2008 1:30 - 2:40 (01:10)
username4 pts/4 110.33.12.19 Sat Oct 10 2001 00:12 - 00:13 (00:01)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI created a new user lets call it X. I disallowed the root login from SSH, so I login with X and after I call "#su root" command. But when I login that way, I can't use some commands like "service". I can access all the files, I can even change the sshd_config file but some commands say "not found". Do I need to get X to a group? Or make it some priveledges etc? What should I have to do to run this free of problems?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSince upgrading my Debian/unstable amd64 installation a few days back I can no longer log in as either root or user, whether to SDDM, via the console, or via ssh. When trying with the console, I can see the login message flash briefly on the screen, before the console resets itself.
I can boot into recovery mode, and examine log files. I enabled systemd debug logging and, amid reams of messages, these seem the most pertinent:
Sep 25 02:24:43 cooler systemd[1]: Received SIGCHLD from PID 937 (login).
