Server :: Can't Login Through Putty Unless Have Already Logged Into Ubuntu?

Dec 21, 2010

I setup logging in through putty client with keys, and password disabled, could log in from all machines on my network (xp and 7) with putty.When I finished hut down the server.Today I turned on the server box and thought I'd try logging in through putty. It kept telling me the server was rejecting my key.I plugged in a monitor and keyboard into the server and logged in via password then had no problem logging in through putty client.Question is, every time I shut the server down do I have to plug in the monitor and keyboard, then login, to be able to login remotely?

Fedora Security :: Shutdown When Root Is Logged In?

Oct 2, 2009

I am using Fedora 10 .Generally to update I open a virtual console by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2,login as root and give the "yum update" command.Then I continue using my graphical terminal for other tasks from the 'non-root' account..Now my room-mate comes uses my 'non-root' account to browse web for few minutes and then opens a terminal types "halt", ENTER and viola...! My root account seems to be insulted by a 'non-root' user!.When I am doing updates or other important work as root any silly user can just 'halt' my computer. Can somebody tell me how to set up my computer so that when root is logged in no other user can simply halt the computer.

Fedora :: 10 Logged In As Root, Cannot Install Package Updates In Graphical Environment?

Jan 17, 2009

I have updated the gdm file to be able to log in as root in Fedora 10.Nevertheless after I had selected package updates to be installed logged in as root I still get an error message that I do not have enough privileges.The terminal installation method is a bit of a problem since I do not think it will search for dependencies and therefore it can be excessively long to figure out what is missing for a package installation. In simple cases it works OK, but in more difficult cases it is a bear.

Fedora Installation :: Domain Users Logged Out On Login Using Winbind - Samba

Nov 12, 2010

Have recently setup Samba on a fresh install of Fedora 14 so that I can use it as a workstation in a Windows 2003 (win2k3) domain.

The install of Samba seems to have worked as I can connect to the Domain using ADS and kerberos. selinux and firewall have been disabled until I have it working 100%

The problem lies when i try to login to Gnome or TTY. It begins to create the home directory for the domain user logging in but after a certain process Fedora logs the user out of the system.

Have looked through several log files (/var/log/messages, log.winbindd, log.winbindd-dc-connect) but am unable to debug it any further.

Have posted the config files below which shows the Fedora machine is successfully connected to the domain as it lists its groups, users and validates logon credentials - it just won't logon!

Where i can go about debugging. Also if you need additional configs.

Fedora :: Can't Login Into The Root Account: It Returns Me Immediately To The Login Prompt?

Jan 27, 2010

I just installed Fedora 12 on a laptop. I changed the default shell on the root account to /bin/tcsh and changed the runlevel to 3 and then rebooted. Now I can't login into the root account: it returns me immediately to the login prompt and I can't see any error message (the screen is cleared).Why is this happening?Can I boot into some sort of safe mode so I can undo my changes to the /etc/inittab and /etc/passwd file?I tried booting with a Live CD with the intention of mounting the filesystem and making the changes, but the new filesystem is a LVM and it won't let me mount it (or I don't know how to mount a Logical Volume).

Red Hat / Fedora :: Unable To "su" To Root When Logged In As A Normal User?

Jan 5, 2010

I have a Red Hat 4 server with Sungard Luminis installed on it. I was following some instructions on setting up Luminis to start at boot. One of the steps was modifying the sudoers file. Since modifying the sudores file, I am no longer able to "su" to root when logged in as a normal user. When doing so, I get su: incorrect password after putting in the password. I have another server with the exact same setup, broken one is test, the other is production, that works just fine. I made no changes to my production server. I've been looking at different things all day and the only difference I have found between the two are the results I get from running rpm -q --verify coreutils. Running that on my prodution server returns nothing. Results from my test server are below. Is this what is causing my problems? If so, what's the fix? I haven't found that yet. I've checked /etc/pam.d/su, both servers are the same.

rpm -q --verify coreutils
.....UG.. /bin/basename
.....UG.. /bin/cat
.....UG.. /bin/chgrp

I recently installed FC14 as my server and is able to ssh and vnc into the server when locally logged in. If i logged out (at login screen) then i cant ssh or vnc into the server. It is pointless to have a server if i am not able to remote in via ssh and vnc.

Debian :: Ssh Login Not Being Logged?

Nov 9, 2010

I just installed debian 5.06 i386 130MB that I downloaded yesterday(Monday).My problem is that when an incoming ssh connection to this debian box is established, but nothing is being logged to /var/log/auth.log on this box. I've tail -f the auth.log which verified nothing is getting logged for ssh. The auth.log is showing activity, mostly root logins and logoffs, but no ssh activity.I understand that /etc/rsyslog.conf may control what gets logged. I had pastebinned this file on #debian but people noted that it looked fine.I have not made any changes to the system, like editing config files or anything. The system is essentially just out of the box.What else can I do to figure this out? Otherwise, I am pleased with how Debian installed on 2002 vintage machine, and is running in console mod

Debian :: Accents Just Work When Logged As Root

Mar 10, 2011

I can use the accents (tilde, acute, ...) normally when I am the root, but when I log into my user account they re not recognized in most applications (opera, emacs, amsn, python idle,...) although they work in other applications (terminal, vim, iceweasel...). I guess that would have a simple solution. Something is right in the root account and wrong in my user account, but I cant figure it out. My layout is USA International (with dead keys).

Hardware :: External HDD Not Initializing Until Logged In As Root?

Feb 18, 2009

Fedora 9 and a maxtor 500gb external It seems i cant get the hd to initialize (not sure if thats the correct word for it) until I log in as root. I can see the icon on the desktop for it and everything, but when i double click on the icon nothing happens. It also doesnt appear in /media/. If I log out of the user account and log into root, all of the sudden i can open the icon in both root AND the user account. It also shows up in /media/. I'm not sure if its a permissions issue or something else.

ps: using ssh to log into root from another machine makes no difference though, only using X or whatever its called from the physical machine.

Debian Configuration :: User Cannot Shutdown While Root Is Logged In

Jun 29, 2011

on my netbook I've tried to make possible for my user to shutdown without needing a password. battery could run low when I'm not in front of it. Editing sudoers has allowed my user to shutdown the system, but Gnome still prompts me for the root password whenever root is logged in too. That's usually the case, because to avoid entering the root password multiple times whenever I need elevated privileges and not wanting to cache the root password, I keep a Root Terminal always open.

CentOS 5 Server :: Samba Login As Root?

Sep 21, 2009

Just completed a fresh install if V5.3. It works fine.

Samba server: I tried to create a Samba user named "root" with Windows user name "administrator". Message is something like "account already exists"? I know "root" exists, but why can't I use it as a login? I don't get this error when I use another existing user account "LouA".

This is important to me because many documents state that "root" is to be used as the user name. I don't want to change these.

Current set-up allows access to all users (there is no Samba user listed) and I can read, write and delete files from Windows just fine.

Ubuntu Security :: Ssh Auto-login Only Works When Im Logged In?

Jun 1, 2011

i have setup auto ssh login for my server. And it works, but only when i have a active connection. if i use "ssh server.com" it asks for my password. If i then open a new terminal and issue "ssh server.com" it logs right in. I really don*t understand whats wrong.

I have tried setting up 2 virtual machines on my local computer and with the same setup it works fine.

SOLVED: my home folder was encrypted, so when no users were logged in the home folder was unmounted
