My USB devices are being automounted as root in Ubuntu 10.10. How can I automount them as the current user? Here is the output of:
sudo fdisk -l
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
df
For this example, /dev/sdc1 is connected.
Code:
matt@matt-G73Jw:/media$ sudo fdisk -l
[sudo] password for matt:
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders

Suffice it to say, I'm an idjit and can't figure out how to get my USB drives to automount.

I know how to mount them manually, but I'd really like it if there was a way to just have the system do it automatically when I plug the drive in so I don't have to do it myself every time.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have set up two external hard drives to automount in fstab with the following lines:
/dev/sdb1 /media/DownstairsBackup ntfs-3g rw,auto,user,exec,sync 0 0
/dev/sda1 /media/UpstairsBackup ntfs-3g rw,auto,user,exec,sync 0 0
And right after I restart, all users have permission to read and write, and everything is fine. However, I have an automated backup utility (BackinTime) installed to back up particular (mounted network) directories every night, but whenever I check up on it the next day, I get the error "Unable to mount ..... Authorization required". (These network directories are mounted into the local filesystem in fstab as well.) Oddly enough, if I run BackinTime by hand as the users, it works fine. I'm running 10.04 LTS.
I'm running KDE in Jessie and also have Gnome installed. When I connect a usb drive it gets mounted at /media/username/disklabel. I would like to have it mounted at /media/disklabel which is how it worked in Wheezy. How can I make that change?

I just made a fresh install of OpenSUSE 11.4-Tumbleweed and have the latest updates. However fstab lines I've used in the past are not working.
Here's an example of two:
//IPADDRESS/share /home/user/mount cifs credentials=/home/user/.scripts/.creds,_netdev,uid=client_user,gid=users 0 0
//IPADDRESS/share /home/user/mount cifs guest,_netdev,uid=client_user,gid=users
I can execute a command
Code:
sudo mount /home/user/mount and it works, but I'm wanting all my fstab lines to automount at boot as on other machines.
Since I created second user USB devices as PTP camera, flash mass storage automounts always for the new user.
Even the second user is not logged in automount does not work for main user. When I log in as second user (with device plugged in) it is mounted automatically after log in.
What can I do with this problem?
I would like to access devices from each user (not necessarily at the same time).
How can I configure it?
How can I "remount" device to my current user without switching into the second one (it's someones else account)?
i want to know the risk with auto mounting flash drive as a root user,if for example there is a Usb Flash drive inserted into the system and we login into root unknowingly, and this flash drive contains an autorun script which calls a new script that can place viruses in your system, since you are in the root it will not even prompt for password and if the script is fast enough you will not even see it executing.

View 9 Replies View RelatedHow can I get a LUKS encrypted partition on an external USB device automounted with r/w access for non-privileged users?
Background:
I just reformatted an external USB device with ext4. The only partition is LUKS encrypted. Now, when I plug the device to my computer, KDE notifies me and asks me to enter the LUKS passphrase. Then it mounts the device. Little snag here: Non-privileged users have read-only access.
My user is a member of group plugdev, but not of group disk, as this was discouraged several times, e. g. by Robby Workman. With non-encrypted disks regular users have read/write access, or can change the filemodes accordingly, as far as I recall (currently I have no more non-encrypted disks left to verify it...)
how to automount USB devices read-only for security in RHEL5? I'm looking for the generic solution for any USB device, so I'm not looking to hardcode something into /etc/fstab.I've hunted around and I can't find a clear answer and my various attempts have failed. I've looked at /etc/auto.misc, UDEV, and HAL. Here's where I'm at which isn't working.I have RHEL5 and from what I can tell HALD manages the automounting. HAL seems to have 2 primary directories:
/etc/hal/fdi
-and-
/usr/share/hal/fdi
The difference between the two is unclear to me.Based on some examples, I created the following file:
--------------------
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">[code]....
No matter what I call this file or where I put it, any USB device still mounts RW. How do I fix this? Am I correct that HAL is the right place? Looking through dmesg, it sure looks like HAL controls this, but maybe I'm wrong? I've also made various attempts to solve this with UDEV and /etc/auto.misc, so if it is one of those, I clearly don't know the correct thing to do there.
I've setup Kerberos and OpenLDAP servers (9.10) similar to the official documentation (and other sites that fill in the "gaps"). However, when you start to get in to some of the details, there seem to be many options - and I guess I'm looking for what could be the defacto standard. I'd like to allow Ubuntu clients to have a sso capability, with the ability for local caching of passwords if not connected to the network (such as a laptop user away from the office, prior to a VPN). I'd like to automount a secure NFS share somewhere in the /home directory. If the user logs in to a computer they've not logged in to before (if they're authorized), it would be nice if a skeleton /home directory could be setup there automatically I'm guessing that it is not desirable to use a shared /home NFS - as if you're off the network this would be problematic - as well as multiple computers sharing the same /home. There are some benefits to a shared /home (SSH certs, etc.), so maybe there is a hybrid approach out there.
I've read that it's not necessarily good practice to have OpenLDAP to do the authentication (leave this to Kerberos), but it's fine for authorization (such as ACLs for logins to certain computers). It's also good practice to use TLS with OpenLDAP (which requires public certs on all the clients) and to not allow anonymous read to the directory. I would guess that a computer host keytab could be refreshed to bind to the OpenLDAP server via GSSAPI / SASL to allow a non-anonymous read, and then determine if, say, the user was a member of a group allowed to log in. Kerberos would then pick up and authenticate the user and then proceed to the login. Off the network here, I'm not sure. I found this document, but it's self declared missing items: [URL]
I'll stop the rambling, but I cannot be the only one who would like to setup a relatively standard and secure server based network authentication and authorization back-end. Is there any _complete_ documentation on the best practices and how to implement?
OpenSuse 11.2 64bit When I select a hard drive in Dolphin file manager it asks for the root password. I would like to gain easier access to the drives. The Yast Partition Manager lists all of the drives and has a dialog box to change this i.e. user can mount the drive. Can we change this feature on the run, while the system is running ? The Fstab file is not listing all of the drives, so I cannot just edit the config here.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have two internal partitions that I auto-mount at startup using fstab. This works fine & I can unmount/mount as a normal user no problem in the terminal (umount /dev/sdb1) but using thunar (or nautilus) I receive a message saying "not authorised to perform operation" (I use the DWM window manager, in gnome it pops up with a password prompt).
If I open thunar as root then I can mount/unmount.
The strange thing is I can mount/unmount usb sticks or mtp devices as a normal user no probs from thunar! So, I'm assuming it must be my fstab that's the problem?

This is the set up I have: PC downstairs by a tv, with 3TB of storage containing my media, connected to the tv too. HTPC upstairs by another tv and connected to it. A few laptops and other desktops around the house which are windows based
I want the downstairs pc to act as a file server and to run my torrent client, it is running Ubuntu desktop version and has xbmc installed too for use with the tv. The upstairs htpc has xbmc live on and will access the media from the file server. What I am looking to do is to be able to log into my ubuntu machine remotely from a laptop running windows so I can manage the files and add torrents for download etc, but for this to be a complete remote session, rather than taking control over what is already being shown on the downstairs pc, like VNC does in windows.
I have two user accounts set up on the main ubuntu machine, the admin account and a media user account which is set to go straight to xbmc after log in. Also how can I make sure that the media drives are automatically mounted to allow access if the admin user is not logged in?
Have been configuring fedora 14 to connect to a windows domain server and have been successful so far....am now on mapping network drives when the user logs in via the gnome gui.
If there is a better method of mapping network drives on login
After reading up on PAM_MOUNT and using that for mapping drives on login I have been able to successfully map them, but it doesn't do this automatically on gnome login.
Problem is as follows: It works when i connect / login using the terminal but requires me to enter the password once (even when i logged into the user account on gnome).
How I want it to work:I would like the mapping to occur when i login via gnome so that i dont have to open a terminal once logged in to gnome to map the network drives. I would like it to login without having to type the password again as the user is already logged in
Config Files:
#--- ~/.pam_mount.conf.xml ---#

I am using Ubuntu 10.04, with the Enlightenment WM, with nautilus for my file manager and I have installed the halevt package to handle the mounting of my external media. My issue now is that when I mount the media as a normal user it is being mounted as read only - any ideas how I can have halevt mount the media so I can write to it as my normal user in addition to reading from it?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm breaking into the OS drive side with RAID-1 now. I have my server set up with a pair of 80 GB drives, mirrored (RAID-1) and have been testing the fail-over and rebuild process. Works great physically failing out either drive. Great! My next quest is setting up a backup procedure for the OS drives, and I want to know how others are doing this.
Here's what I was thinking, and I'd love some feedback: Fail one of the disks out of the RAID-1, then image it to a file, saved on an external disk, using the dd command (if memory serves, it would be something like "sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=backupfilename.img") Then, re-add the failed disk back into the array. In the event I needed to roll back to one of those snapshots, I would just use the "dd" command to dump the image back on to an appropriate hard disk, boot to it, and rebuild the RAID-1 from that.
Does that sound like a good practice, or is there a better way? A couple notes: I do not have the luxury of a stack of extra disks, so I cannot just do the standard mirror breaks and keep the disks on-hand, and using something like a tape drive is also not an option.
I recently had issues with the latest version of the Linux Kernels and I got that fixed but ever since that has happened none of my Drives will mount and they aren't even recognized.

I am building a home server that will host a multitude of files; from mp3s to ebooks to FEA software and files. I don't know if RAID is the right thing for me. This server will have all the files that I have accumulated over the years and if the drive fails than I will be S.O.L. I have seen discussions where someone has RAID 1 setup but they don't have their drives internally (to the case), they bought 2 separate external hard drives with eSata to minimize an electrical failure to the drives. (I guess this is a good idea)I have also read about having one drive then using a second to rsync data every week. I planned on purchasing 2 enterprise hard drives of 500 MB to 1 GB but I don't have any experience with how I should handle my data
