Ubuntu :: Create A Directory That Can Be Written To By Multiple Users
Feb 6, 2010I have a small ubuntu server setup and I would like to create a directory that can be written to by a select number of users. I have a backup directory setup and I want to enable my account as well as three others to be able to read/write to that directory. So far I haven't had any luck.
The owner of the backups folder, a directory on a separate disk mounted under /srv/storage, was owned by root and under the root group. I added the group backups and then changed the backups directory group to backups. I then used chown to change the backups directory to 775 to enable group members to write to it. I then tried to touch a file in the backups folder but no such luck. I did notice that when I run groups, my user account isn't shown as belonging to backups but is shown under the /etc/group file. I even made sure the GID of backups is in fact below 1000.
Anyone have an idea on how to create a shared directory that everyone can create, modify and delete any file? I believe my problem is related to the fact that root is the owner of the backups directory.
General :: Multiple Users To Create Directories Over SFTP So The New Directories Keep The Same Permissions?
May 15, 2011I want to make a webserver with multiple users allowed to login through SFTP to a specific folder, www.Multiple users are added, lets say user1 and user2, and all of them belonging to the www-data group. The www directory has an owner www-data and a group www-data.
I have used chmod -R 775 on the www folder, but after I try to create a folder test through my SFTP server (using Filezilla) the group of the directory created has only r and x permissions, and I am not able to log in with the second user user2 and create a directory within www/test due to a lack of w permission to the group.
I also tried using chmod 2775 on www directory, but without luck. Can somebody explain to me, how can I make it so that a newly created directory inherits the root directory group permissions?

Red Hat / Fedora :: Users In Multiple Groups And File Permissions?
Feb 12, 2009this directory has permissions 750 and is owned by user1 and group user1 I have an admin user that is primarily a part of group admin, but also a part of group user1 what would stop admin from having read and execute permissions on this directory? I'm running clamav and have a clamd daemon running as user admin (I could run it as any user, and I may make a special user later, but I don't want to run it as user1, user2, etc).
I have 2 (technically lots more, but let's just say 2 for now) users, user1 and user2 that have home directories /home/user1 and /home/user2. each is owned and group owned by user1:user1 and user2:user2 respectively with permissions of 750. my admin user is part of groups admin, user1, and user2 I need this to be able to scan my user's directories using the command (is this correct?):
clamdscan --move=/files/quarantine/ --config-file=/etc/clamd.d/adm.conf /home/user1/file
doing this gives the error:
/home/user1/file: lstat() failed. ERROR
If I change the directory permissions to 755, it works fine.Or if I leave the permissions 750 and change the directory group ownership to admin, it works fine. So, why would this be? Obviously it is a permissions issue, but why is it not reading admin as part of the user1 group and allowing the same permissions as it does when making the directory group-owned by admin?
Fedora :: Create Several Different Users For Different Members?
Sep 14, 2009I wish to create several different users for different members of the family. They should all have different menus, and they should not be able to access some programs, above and beyond just the normal root blocked ones. Any personal configuration files (eg, bookmarks, saved passwords, logins for other programs (IRC, MSN, etc) should also not carry over. One of them needs to have KDE enabled as default (as it looks the most like windows). I however, would prefer to have enlightenment enabled as default for me. Is this in any way possible?

Apr 5, 2011CentOS 5.5
I am trying to add new users, when I use the command: # useradd newuser
I get: useradd: cannot create directory /home/users/newuser
I went to my /etc/skel and when I use the command ls it displays:
home
and when I go into /etc/skel/home I have the two directories that I created.
I am logged in as root, and when I ls cd / it shows /home, when I cd into /home everything looks normal.
How do I get this error to stop so I can add new users?
Red Hat / Fedora :: Create Multiple User Account With UID?
Mar 15, 2011Our requirement is to create multiple user account with UID:-
/tmp/users.txt
rohit
guna
samsir
like this 100 user names in /tmp/users.txt file
/tmp/uid.txt
2001
3789
1000134
like this 100 UID's in /tmp/UID.txt file
The script should take input from both the files and create user account. for example user account rohit should have an UID of 2001 and user samsir should have an UID of 1000134.

Fedora Hardware :: Create Multiple Partitions To Install Several Other OS's On?
May 31, 2010Say I have this computer and this computer has a 1TB hard disk. I install Fedora 13 on this disk and let the installer do as it wishes with this 1TB of space. I'm going to end up with the LVM thingy. (Can you tell yet that I know nothing about LVM?). Can I, at a later date, use some of the available space to create another partition to install another OS on. Can I create multiple partitions to install several other OS's on?

Jan 17, 2011Looking for a test tool where I can fire up any number of ports (TCP and / or UDP) to listen on.
I am currently getting my using nc but its only 1 port at a time (i know I can open up multiple sessions but thats cumbersome), it can't do UDP, and it closes at the end of the session.
A friend has suggested socat but it looks pretty much the same except it can do UDP, but also cumbersome, I have to manually output to a different file per port, etc.
Basically its so I can quickly test firewall and NAT rules.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Sound From Multiple Users On Same Box?
Feb 3, 2010Ok, for various (mostly security) reasons I was experimenting in running certain apps as a different user id (on Karmic).
I can get X to forward to my main session without a problem but I cannot get the sound to work. Sound works fine in my main session, but when I run sound as another user I get plenty of errors like:
PHP Code:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1008:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
I am not a big linux GUI person, so I have rarely dealt with sound systems under Linux. What is the simplest way to get this to work in a relatively secure way? (I do realize that my security is already a bit compromised by allowing the secondary user access to X, but that can't be helped)

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Multiple Keyboard Layouts For Different Users SSH
Feb 7, 2011I work in a company where the Ubuntu server is managed by different people around the world.
Day-to-day admin : me in France with an Azerty keyboard
Level 1 24/7 support : team in US with a Qwerty keyboard
Of course there's commands like sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup but this one affects the whole system. I've searched quite a lot on how to change the keyboard layout for one person only, but it always relates to the Gnome interface. So I'd like to know if you knew a way to locally change the keyboard layout, only the SSH connection of the user? Maybe in the startup scripts of the bash session, or even better, when the user types his user login (so it detects his language and automatically switches to the right keyboard).

General :: Bandwidth Limitation For Multiple Users Through LAN?
Aug 4, 2010filter bandwidth for some users (about 150, from 100.100.100.1 trough 100.100.100.250) on LAN. All LAN users connect to the internet through RedHat linux server and all I could do so far is to ban some of them using iptables and commands
-A INPUT -s 100.100.100.107/32 -j DROP
-A FORWARD -s 100.100.100.107/32 -j DROP
-A INPUT -s 100.100.100.235/32 -j DROP

I would like to set a download/upload limit for some of them, is that possible?

Aug 11, 2010I just created a 2nd user on my computer. I've got the hard drive that ubuntu runs on, and then a 2tb drive for media. If the 2tb is mounted on my desktop, it won't show up on his desktop even if I'm logged out. It won't show up on his unless I unmount on mine.
If I'm logged out I'm obviously not using it. So why doesn't it show up? He has all privileges. Is there a way to make this work without having to unmount?
I'm running karmic btw. If you need computer info let me know what to type into the terminal and whatnot and I'll paste it all here!
Ubuntu :: Multiple X Sessions - Auto Login 2 Different Users
Oct 11, 2010I have a small problem regarding multiple X sessions. I want 2 X sessions started automatically on boot with 2 different users auto logged in and 2 different sessions running.
On first X session I would like to have gnome running with user1
On second X session I would like to have xbmc running with user2
So far my computer logs user1 in to a gnome session via gdm on boot. But then I have to launch a tty, log in as user2 and then start xbmc in a new X session.
How to make it work? I would also love to have the second X session active after boot. I am running Ubuntu 10.04.
