When you boot up Ubuntu, you are presented with the login screen, with a list of users that can access the machine. I want to be able to only show certain users in that list, and hide others.
View 1 RepliesJust installed Debian on a laptop. I'm not a Linux noob, been running Ubuntu / Kubuntu / Fedora elsewhere for a while. But first time with Debian (Gnome). [Broadly pretty happy so far. It may supplant Kubuntu on my desktop as the latter seems a bit of a resource hog.]I want the login screen to offer a list of users.I've tried System > Administration > Login Window > Localand chosen Themed with face browser from the dropdown marked Style:I'm using Bijou (though I've also tried some of the others) as my theme, in case that makes any difference.I haven't got any pictures set up for users. It's not particularly that that I want, just a list of users to choose from rather than having to type in your username each time. It's a family setup, no big security worries, so easing typing would be nice.

View 1 Replies View RelatedBasically, I don't want to see my dual booted xp boot. At all. Yes, I want GRUB to see it, so I can chose, but I would love to have it completely ignored once I load Ubuntu even for intruders. I did not like being able to just click my Windows partition thinking of the brutal things that could be done to it since it's not even booted.I am aware I can make a second user who has admin privileges, but that is similar to my other question...

And I would rather it not be accessible to anyone with or without administrator privileges.
in my quest to reduce chrome and padding in Nautilus, I've come across something I can't seem to find on my own. I know there are 3 basic views - icons, list, and compact - and I prefer list; however, on the left of the list view, there is a 20-25px or so (depending on theme of course) of margin/padding/space on the left - reserved for the + or - or arrows indicating a folder can be expanded inline.
I would simply like to remove this space (and the cooresponding +/- icons). I realize this will relinquish my ability to expand folders inline - which is fine with me, I don't use the feature much anyway.I can probably surmise where the actual icons live, reverse engineering a theme or what have you... but I'm guessing that still won't change that space.
is there any way to get a more "vanilla" list view?UPDATE: while I don't think specs really matter to this question, here's what I'm running anyway:Ubuntu 10.10, 32bit in Gnome (default for that Ubu version) using mostly stock Nautilus besides it being the Elementary build (hidden menubar and such).
I would like to know how can I share folder with samba that samba does not show it to those users that have no access to it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn GRUB 1 there were commands to hide/unhide a partition (e.g. hide (hd0,1)). Is there an equivalent in GRUB 2?
Do not confuse with hiding something from the menu - i want to hide a partition.
I actually got my boss to let me put Ubuntu on a laptop for a client and it works like a champ. I have it all setup but there's one thing I'd like to do on it. I have an admin user (the one I created during the install) and a desktop user (for the person receiving the laptop). I would like to hide my admin user from the login screen, so when it boots up all the user sees is their name. If I need to help them with something/install software I can choose other and login as my admin user.
It appears this was rather easy in 9.10 and previous but I can't figure out how to do it in 10.04. To be clear, I want to edit the user list, not disable it entirely. I've tried changing the user id, I found a post that claimed IDs less than 1000 were not shown on the login screen, this proved un-true in my case.
I have been fooling around with some of the new kernels and have ended up with a lot of options in my grub at boot. I have been checking this page:[URL].. ... and it appears hiding the entries in grub2 is not as easy as hashing them out (#) which was the convention in grub.
My problem: I have installed kernel 2.6.36 and 2.6.37 just to fool around. Neither works in anything but low-graphics as it seems the ATI graphics driver is not working in either yet. They both also kill my wireless (don't recognise the card). BUT I don't want to completely uninstall them as I'd like to keep playing around as time goes on and they develop. I'd like to just hide them from the menu.
Is there some easy way of doing this? The link I provide only gives options to make the kernel non-executable (overly complicated process) or remove the kernel completely, neither of which I want to do. This used to be simple in grub, open a file and add or remove a #, and - although overall I prefer grub2 - IMHO this 'improvement' seems a little like a backward step. Sure a million people will disagree, but .
I would like to hide the Grub menu, but still display a splash screen, and be able to blindly select the items.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've set up password-less login for user1 on a Ubuntu machine to login automatically into a Fedora box using the publickey authentication method. Everything is working smoothly. Now, there is a user2 on Fedora but he does not have an account on Ubuntu.
I tried to login as user2 from Ubuntu to but got the following error :
Code:
Predictably neither scp or sftp work either. I have several questions as a result.
1.Is the SSH server rejecting user2 login because I am inadvertently using user1 keys (as I am logged in as user1) ?
2. Do I need to have a user2 account on Ubuntu and public/private key authentication setup with Fedora for user2 to be able to login ?
3. Is there a method I can use to password login as user2 from Ubuntu to Fedora (even though there is no user2 account on Ubuntu) AND still keep password-less login for user1 or do I have to have password-less login for both ?
At present the only way to access the user2 account from Ubuntu is to SSH using the user1 account and then su to user2.
When opensuse boots up and shows the login screen. The login screen shows all configured user accounts to select from.
How would I hide these accounts for opensuse 11.3 with KDE and opensuse 11.4 with LXDE.
Background: I am dual booting Debian and Window 7. Wanted to make windows-loader default and hide grub if possible. Google search took me here: [URL].... (third answer, about editing grub)
Make Windows (ANY variant) the default Grub2 menu option.
Description: This sets Windows as the default boot option, and (with NO user action) the PC will auto-launch Windows on startup.
STEPS:
A. sudo update-grub #List your current menu items
B. Edit setup file
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
GRUB_DEFAULT=”Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1″ #Set the boot default to your Windows boot partition
[WARNING: Just setting 'GRUB_DEFAULT=n', will NOT work after kernel updates, etc.
Save the file and close.]
sudo update-grub
Question: I must have done something wrong, for update-grub (as root) now gives this: "/usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 6: /etc/default/grub: 2: not found"
What should I do now to make grub as it was in the beginning?

what I'm doing, but I'm implementing some automatic security protocols on a ubuntu system, and I need to see a list of all users, including system ones. The reason for this is that I created a system user with a specific UID, and I forgot it. The 'user' command only lists the nonsystem users.

My system is SUSE 11.1 I want to see who is connected via SSH. For instance, I have users connected using FileZilla. I can see in th e/etc/var/messages that they authenticated/connected, but I can't see if they have since disconnected or not.
Also, about 3 years ago I used to use Fedora for my SSH and in the sshd_config I'd make custom logs for each account, specify which user accounts were possible, port number, etc, etc. Is this possible to do using the SUSE linux? Any links on how to do this on suse? I haven't used linux in 3 years and can't find my old sshd_config files to take a glance...I did look at the sshd_config on SUSE, but it looks very different.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to figure out a bash command to list all users logged in at or after 5pm - 5pm being the specifier in the command.
Code:
Command seems to be the easiest way to display users but it specifies all users log times.
I've also fiddled with the lastlog command to no avail.
It is possible to check who logged in with "who" command. If we are also logged in to that linux pc.
But, is there any possibility to check without our login?(not even by ssh)
Our logging in to find that pc, will be wasting the cpu resources. And may disturb the user who is working on the x-session.
I need to see who all the Samba users are. Some other distros keep that in /etc/samba/smbpassword file but I don't have that file here.
