there are at least a dozen users who have a crontab with stuff running. Is there a way to look at all the crontabs at once? right now i just keep doing a su to whichever user, then do a crontab -l.but i need to check what looks like 100 more users, and hoping there's a way to save me from manually having to do this for every single one of them.
View 9 RepliesMy crontabs under root are working fine, but I can't seem to get my user crontabs to work.
When I do a crontab -l -u <user>, I get a listing of the crontab file, but it never is executed.
I've been reading about cron.allow and cron.deny, but I can't find those in the slackware distro. Is there something special that I need to do to allow user crontabs in Slackware? (version 13.1 if that helps)
how can root list/edit crontabs of other users?

I am now trying to setup a VSFTP server where local users can upload files to there home directory so that Apache can serve web pages straight from the directories of system user home/accounts giving users the ability to run their own web sites which are hosted off the main server [tutorial here: [url]
So far i have been able to serve/display index.html files from the users home directory [url] but so far i cant upload files to any user home directory, every time i try to upload a file with filezilla i get this error message: 553 Could not create file. Critical file transfer error
I have searched online for similar problems like mine and so far i've tried alot of the solution but none seem to work. I'm confused, dont know where i went wrong, i put the users in a group called ftpusers and here are the permissions on the users (test, ftpuser & testftp) home directory. have a look an tell me where i went wrong :(
Also the root directory where the web pages are served from is called public_html here are the permissions
Here is my vsftp.conf file can someone check it to see if i made any errors in there:
I have an issue with users logging into a server. There are multiple (5 or so) database admins that have to log into a windows 2003 server and from there log into a red hat server. Once they are in the rhel box they execute an app (let's say xclock) that gives them an xwindows session on their desktop. Currently only one person can do this at a time, but they have asked me to configure it to allow multiple users to log into the red hat box from the windows server and run an xwindow.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to know how to link linux users to have their windows folder (on fileserver) into linux..I have a windows fileserver which hosts AD users home (personal) folder.I also have linux (redhat) with SAMBA. users have their home folder in linux but also want to access their home folder in windows. Is there any solution which automatically creates links in linux home folder, when a user logs into linux he can also view / edit his files in windows home folder.I know to smbmount but there are 500+ users and creating smbmount / smbclient for each would be time consuming also many of the users are dynamic (added / deleted frequently).

The mail server is not on my local LAN, and all the primary users are roaming. They connect via TLS auth, which is required to make a sendmail connection to my server. I could whitelist all addresses in my domain, but then anyone spoofing my email wouldn't be seen as spam. How do I simply tell amavis-new and/or sendmail not to spam scan TLS authenticated users?
do you guys know how to add a user to a linux box without using useradd?I'm working on a project to disect the process of adding users, but can't use useradd command.I know this involves modifying couple of files such as /etc/passwd, /etc/groups, etc..but i'm sure there is more to it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThere's something I would like to do. It's simple, it MUST be possible. I can't find any way to do it by Googling it. I'm must be looking for it in a wrong way.Let's say I have a directory called dir1. In it, I have these files: A1, A2, A3 belong to user "userA", files B1 and B2 belong to "userB". Both users are in group "groupNO", but the files are in group "groupYES".
What I want is this: if someone tries to mount the folder by NFS (or could it be done with Samba?), as userA, they can only see (or read) files A1, A2, A3,as userB, they can only see (or read) files B1 and B2,as a user in groupYES, they can see and open all the files.This is just the principle. If I need to sort them into directories or use another program on the server-side, that's fine with me. I just want the user to just have to mount the folder over the LAN with a user name and password. I'm fairly sure I can do it by SFTP, but, again, I want the client to be able to MOUNT the folder on their local machine over the LAN no to user a special client.Is that possible? Do I need LDAP? (From what I understand, LDAP is separate from the OS-level mounting process, which is not what I want.)
This is my first attempt at setting up a server. I have just installed Ubuntu Server 8.04 fresh from the CD. I have a fixed IP address. I just cannot seem to be able to ssh into the darn thing.

From a SuSE Linux box, I get the message "Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer"
From a mac box, I get the message "Connection closed by 'IP address'"
I can ssh out to another server just fine. I don't know what to even do.

My approach is to find out what users are logged in and then kill processes of all nonsystem users who fail the test of being logged. I use `w` for finding all logged in users, but apparently there are users on the list which `w` gives me who own absolutely no process in the output of `ps aux`. How do I log off those users, since killing their processes wont work (since they own no processes)?
