Ubuntu :: Can't Create New Account?
Dec 27, 2010
I want to create a new account (just so that I can change the uid of my current account to match my afs id)I have started out using the gui system->admin->users and group Everything seems to work but I could not login. I finally tracked ti down to the account being marked disabled. I unchecked the box in the disable account box (in the advanced settings) and apply, etc. but when i come back in it is re-checked
I tried in the command line
sudo passwd -S account_name
and i get back
account_name P 12/27/2010 1 90 7 -1
i think the -1 means it is disabled
[Code]...

I making another user account. I checked in the System Settings (in the "Computer" tab in the Kickoff Application Launcher) and found nothing. Do I need to take a closer look, or is there another way to go about doing this?

Whilst playing around with my computer the other day i accidentally set the workspace feature to have 36 workspaces. This subsequently caused my computer to run very slowly and both panels and the bar at the top of the windows (with the close and minimise things) to dissapear. This means that i can no longer open programs easily (i have to open a folder from the desktop and then navigate to filesystem/usr/shared/aplications and then open them from there and only a few have full functionality. They also run very slowly. I have been looking for options to change it back but cannot. I have managed to use terminal to create a new working account although it is not an administrator account which i need it to be.
How to do one of the following:
A) Fix the first account (restore it to working order)
B) Make the new account an administrator in terminal (I have tried to using users and groups but it freezes)
C) Create a new administrator account in terminal

So Skype installed after an error with msttcorefonts (it seemed to resolve itself - not sure how), but now I am unable to create a Skype account. On the "Create a new Skype Account" screen I fill in all of my information and check the little box saying that I've read all of the licensing conditions, but the "Sign Up" button does not activate for me to click...it's just grayed out. My original installation error said that it was unable to install all dependencies, and that errors were encountered while processing msttcorefonts. Could these issues be related? How do I fix it?

Can i login to my server using my root account and create a public+private key for one of my users and then manually paste it into his authorized_keys file and give him the private key?
The user im giving it to has a chrooted FTP account...
Is it still ok that i used the root account to create it? He is not going to have root access or nothing is he? This is not a security breach in any way is it?
The user doesn't have shell access to create their own so this is the only way i can think of doing it...
Also what access should the user have to their .ssh folder + the authorized_keys file...?
Are they allowed to read the key? What about write?

when I install Ubuntu from disc, it goes all the way through the install process and everything works fine until the part where you make your account, password, etc. When I enter all the information, sometimes it will say 'copying files..' for a while and I'll wait. Before long, though, it will say 'Ready when you are..' but the button that says forward is still greyed out and I cant click it. Ive tried going back and then forward again and it still doesnt work. Ive tried the install twice on two different discs and it wont work. Whats going on?

It's been a while, I haven't used Linux since version 6 or 7, and at that time, Anaconda gave you a choice of which level of SELinux to install - as I remember, I chose the "relaxed" version... but this time, with Version 11, I was not given any choice of which level of SELinux to use. I was automatically forced into a USER (drone) account with no administrative or limited administrative capabilities. I have my administrative name and password I assigned during the Anaconda install...but I don't know how to get into the superuser or root account and execute it so that I have full, unvarnished permission to do as I please on MY machine.
First of all, let me explain - This is MY computer and I can do with it exactly as I want. I am the Aministrator and I am the one and only OWNER of this machine. Therefore, I should have automatic access to SuperUser, and if I corrupt something, that is my fault...and its my machine. Cutting through the bull, I would like someone on here to just plain tell me, without cryptic remarks, to give me a step-by-step - The is a HOW TO to access the superuser account, name and password. And - this is HOW TO create a ROOT account with superuser permissions. What I need is a one-two-three this-is-how-to-do-it.
If I mess things up, I merely reinstall Fedora again and start from scratch. I don't care if I screw things up accidentally. What does irritate me is being forced to have a "drone" account on my machine that I own, without even asking me, what I wanted..

Our 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.

I never considered I would want to remote access my laptop, or that I would be able to figure out how (I know....). In any case, my (only) username and password are not all that complicated - just there for deterence more than anything else (I have a barely functioning battery and a FDE hard drive, so if you're going to unplug and transport this baby, it'll shut off; my hard drive PW is solid).
In any case, I wanted to create another account that I could use to log into with SSH to be able to access files. I've started by disabling SSH login to my current user account (DenyUsers myusername). I know I could add a new user to my system with its own home directory and all, but I want it as least 'present' or invasive as possible. So in sum, is there a way to create an SSH only user, and if so, how?
I thought I would check here to get some pointers, to be sure I don't mess up my system!

I try to create a user who has the 100% permissions and roles as the root with following command:
Code:
useradd -c "ANOTHER ROOT" -d /home/root2 -g root -m -s /bin/bash root2
But it seems the user just in the group of root but doesn't have all the rights as the root.

Can anyone actually create an account with Evolution in Squeeze? The "Evolution Setup Assistant" won't take me past the "Importing files" dialog. When I press the Forward button, nothing happens. This is what I get when I press the forward button (running from a terminal): (evolution:9945): Gtk-CRITICAL **: Page flow is broken, you may want to end it with a page of type GTK_ASSISTANT_PAGE_CONFIRM or GTK_ASSISTANT_PAGE_SUMMARY

Recently I have renovated an old computer which once belonged to my dad (the old HDD crashed, and I just bought a new one to replace it). My parents want me to fix this computer for my 5-year-old sister to use. I decided to use Linux Mint as the OS because everything (flash, mp3, etc.) is already configured.
How do I create a user account in Linux Mint with limited access for my sister, so that it won't mess up the entire system?
All she does is surf the web, so I'm just worried that she might accidentally mess up a system setting that I eventually will have to fix it.

First post on this forum and feel a bit bad for asking a question but would really appreciate it if you guys helped out. I have been using Linux for a while now and it has become my main OS and I'm looking to purchase a VPS or Dedicated server to play around with as im starting a computer science course soon. I was wondering if anybody in this forum would guide me to any guides on setting up a VPN on the dedicated/VPS server so that I can create an account and use it to encrypt my traffic and change my IP, I have looked around for a while and have only found info on connecting to another computer through VPN to use there network and applications but I don't think that is the type of VPN I'm looking for.

I have just found, that my pidgin on a old debian Lenny machine does not support Yahoo as a protocol anymore. When checking out the list of accounts, the one with yahoo is now listed as (unknown). And when I wipe pidgin clean off the system, remove all configuration and reinstall is, now there is no way to register a yahoo account, it is just not listed in all the protocols. What is going on???
I have another lenny machine and I use yahoo there all the time...

I need to create such an account that the user wouldn't be able to r/w any file which doesn't belong to it, even if access mode is set to o+rw. I guess normal chmod/chown won't help here... How can i do this?

I am using NIS and I want to replace this with 389 ds. I have installed 389 ds and configured it. I could create user account from 389-console. But it does not create user home directory. Do I have to create user account and user home directory in linux first?

I am using this config.
I'm looking to create a white-list of email addresses that are allowed to send mail to my son's email address. Basically, I'm trying to do this:
if from not in ('dad@home.net','mom@home.net','unclebill@work.org')
then deliver to 'dad@home.net'
Or deliver to /dev/null or something.
This would be only for his account/domain, not server-wide.
The configuration above uses MySQL for forwarding and authentication. I'm not sure if that is a plus or minus for what I'm trying to do.

I have a Debian VPS webserver running a forum, and I'm currently looking for a secondary tech-admin. Since they'll have to have the root password for the server, I'm looking for a way to create a backdoor account that I can use to get in if they divulge the root password, or go crazy and lock me out. Is there a way to do it?

I'm not able to create Samba Account. it is showing the error message as below
Failed to initialise SAM_ACCOUNT for user <username>. Does this user exist in the UNIX password database ?
Failed to modify password entry for user <username>
Unix accounts are created in Corporate Office, which is in US. We had a dedicated link from our office to US office. Now this link has been disconnected & now we have a VPN connection through internet to US Office. there is a firewall on both the sides. While creating samba account i tried to give netstat command & i saw it is trying to make a connection to the Unix Server at US, but the connection is not getting established it is showing SYN_SENT.
The port from the Home directory server trying to connect to the Unix server is connecting using Dynamic port but the Unix server port it is showing as PORTMAP. Network guys are not opening all the ports in the firewall. Kindly let me know the DESTINATION PORT that the home directory server is trying to connect to Unix Server, so that i can ask my network guys to open that perticular port. So that i can create Samba account to the users.

We are looking to monitor and log selected application file systems for file create/modify/delete changes that will also include, user account that changed/deleted the file, file name and date and time of event. Everything I have looked at does not seem to provide all of the information that we need.Inotify seems to monitor modify/create/delete but does not seem to provide the user account. Auditd seems to monitor modify/create/append with user account, but not deletes.We need to provide this information to auditing for Sarbane Oxley compliance.
