Code:
Cannot exec /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server: File or directory doesn't exist
(Translateted from my nativ language)
I think that is my bad shell configuration so I check file /etc/ssh/sshd_config and see in the end (this lines couse this bug):
Code:
Match User root
ChrootDirectory /home
AllowTCPForwarding no
X11Forwarding no

I am unable to login as normal user. I am sure that my password is correct. What are the possible reasons behind this and also the solutions. My /etc/password and /etc/shadow files are good and my login haven't set to /etc/nologin.
Actually this a question asked to me by a Novell(Suse Enterprise Linux) Regional manager.
I need to login as root , when linux starts to show login window
But it shudnt be as
1) spawning a new terminal and do commands lik startx -- :3
2) without going in recovery mode
I need to login through login window as normal process
I just want to be able to access and modify the files on my usb drive as a normal user. The mount command works perfectly as root but then the files that I end up copying to my home folder can only be modified as root. I only use a window manager and use just bash for file management. I just want to be able to it through the command line.
(using 13.37)
I can't log into my normal user account at bootup; it just bounces back to the login screen.
However, I can log into the user's terminal window from the root account.
I've tried deleting and re-creating the user, but to no avail.
Is there some special file that I could delete before re-creating the user?
The one that holds the (corrupted) authentication data, perhaps?
I have recently installed the Slack 13.1 x86_64 on my laptop. It works fine! But I have one trouble with it. I cannot run the installpkg and pkgtool with my normal user. It says to me that there is no command found. Is it a problem with the sudoers file or these commands are not really installed? Maybe my path is incomplete?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI can't log into my normal user account anymore, though I can log in with root without any problem. When I enter my normal user name and password, the screen blinks, a black page appears and after a couple of seconds I get the login screen again. I deleted /tmp files but no changes. I tried to login using command mode. So I hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 and log into root in command mode, then ran init3, then switched user to my normal user and ran startx. It worked and I logged into my normal account, but I can not do this process every time. So, what is the problem? How can I solve this problem? I used to work with my normal user flawlessly. I installed a bunch of software and also copied some folders to my home directory, but I don't know whether these activities caused the problem or not. I'm using KDE4 under openSUSE 11.2.

Is this possible (I'm sure it is)? If so, can this be scripted, i.e. without having to use graphical tools like Sabayon.
How can I enable "Auto Login" for root user?In " Yast --> Security And Users --> User And Group Management --> Expert options --> Login Settings " is just my own user and there's no root user to choose.

I don't what happened but yesterday I was working normally and then I shutdown the computer, today when I opened ubuntu it took me to tyy1 login screen, I entered my username and password then it took me to the normal login screen with the login drums sound and it wrote on my account (logged in) so I clicked it and I entered my password again and then I got to my ubuntu so what went wrong and how to fix it also I noticed that a new terminal in system tools occurred called Kernel (I didn't add it)
I'm using ubuntu 10.10 on Dell inspiron 1520 with Nvidia 8600GT and 3GB RAM
Important: this happened after update to generic-headers-24
I recently installed 32bit maverick and wanted to make it login automatically. I tried enabling auto login from Admin > Login but that didnt work and I was still prompted for my password. Then I went to Users & Groups and changed the password option to Do Not ask for password at login now after I reboot, the user list is shown (only 1 user) and it doesnt ask for password after I click on my username.
However, then it gives a few errors (as i vaguely recall):
1. cannot load .ICE directory in my home directory
2. some error 256 about a gconf-sanity-2 file
3. nautilus cannot load my home directory etc
and then it gets stuck without loading anything (blank wallpaper). i ve tried navigating to my home directory using Alt F2, gksudo nautilus and my home dir contents are encrypted by the ecryptfs (there is a readme.txt file and a shortcut). i have tried to decrypt but it doesnt work... i ve also tried to start/stop gdm, and startx but nothing works. if i stop gdm, then the prompt doesnt recognize my password and keeps on rejecting the commands i enter... I think this has something to do with the home dir not being decrypted due to the dont ask for paswd option... how can i disable the dont ask for pwd without the gui (i can access my / by booting through an external usb).
I press On-button, Debian boots, logs in and automatically connects to the Wireless network AND! to my local pc via LAN. It runs an ssh server, so I can ssh into debian over internet and communicate with the local pc (send a magic packet).Here are my problems:
1) I don't how to log in automatically. This and this doesn't work.
2) I need a network tool that can manage multiple connections and has a reconnect feature. With the default network manager I cannot even connect to more than one network simultaneously although I have two network devices of course.
And I guess I can run all that in console mode, right?
I'm using VSFTPD on my office LAN for one simple task: to receive-and send - installation images created with Ghost4Linux. Until recently, my main LAN server ran on CentOS, but I decided to migrate it to Slackware (nicer release policy ).
What I usually do is create an 'install' user who can login to FTP, but not on the system. Here's an example of what I used to do on my CentOS setup:
Code:
# mkdir -p -m 0700 /home/ftp/install
# groupadd install
# useradd -d /home/ftp/install -g install -s /sbin/nologin install
# chown -R install:install /home/ftp/install
# passwd install
The relevant bits in vsftpd.conf looked like this on the CentOS server:
Code:
...
anonymous_enable=NO
...
userlist_enable=YES
userlist_deny=NO
userlist_file=/etc/vsftpd/user_list
...
Then I only had to create the /etc/vsftpd/user_list file and put a single line in it to allow the newly created user:
Code:
install Now I've tried to get the same behaviour on Slackware, and I succeeded more or less, except for one thing. There's no way my 'install' user can login to FTP when his default shell is set to '/sbin/nologin' (or '/bin/false'). Only when I change the 'install' users' default shell to a "real" shell like '/bin/bash', he's able to login.
Here's a little practical demonstration of what's happening:
Code:
$ lftp localhost
lftp localhost:~> user install
Mot de passe :
[code]...
- is there a way to set the default user in console login so that all needed is to press enter(or event without it) to be able to input the password for that user - also is it possible to console login without password, by just inputting user name and pressing enter how to put startx for that user right on login, so that the user doesn't input the command manually

1. How can I start this application before gdm start (login screen or auto login)
2. How can I start this application in fix display resolution (800x600)
My method now is
(This is a part of script , this script execute from /etc/init.d/myfirstboot , I create symlink to /etc/rc2.d/S1myfirstboot for start it before anything)
gdm-stop # first time I use /etc/init.d/gdm stop

export DISPLAY
/usr/bin/Xorg :1 &
[Code]...
I don't understand why first time firstboot start the system will auto loging in but not complete yet and then my script is start and it's work does not fine I think that is another user is already login , but if I re run my firstboot again and again (by setting something that can revoke my firstboot and restart) it's work before auto login and every things is ok!
Is there any way to use 'fdisk -l' as a normal user? I see in F12, /sbin has been added to PATH by default for a normal user, but when trying to use it, nothing shows up.
See below for demonstration purposes:
Code:
Password:
I don't want to use 'su -' or 'su -c' and login every time.
Recently I noticed, that manpages are not available anymore for a normal user:
Code:
$ man grep
No manual entry for grep
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.With root privileges everything works fine
As I get reply from antoher forum is best there on Ubuntu is better to have 2 user accounts - one is admin and other is normal user for surfing, and other things. But there is problem. How can I install applications on this normal user account?
And,.. is option for installed applications (on normal user acc.) is no visible or installed on admin account?
- Can I .reg file for program which is running on Wine, use for a program that I need to change settings in "registry"?
I was under the impression the Linux (in my case the Fedora OS) is very secure. However I've learnt with deep concern that that one can have access to the system during system startup i.e one can give various startup directives and bypass the normal login UI to have direct root access.
Is there a way to disble this so that the directives during startup are fixed and cannot be altered. I would like to make the system secure to the maximum extent possible.

What is the best way to allow this to happen in opensuse? There are many ways to do that (and I do not know how to use any of them ) and I am not sure which one is more suse all right.
