Directory : /home/Eyal/Eyal

but he can go to /home/Eyal/Eyal/cstrike
I have two partitions on my HD partition1 mount point / and partition2 mount point /home. I had ubuntu 11.04 32bit installed and wanted to switch to 64bit so i reinstalled ubuntu and chose the same boot points. Since i reinstalled i had to create a new user and it created a new home folder. Now i want to replace my current users home folder with the previous home folder i had.Would a simple rename work?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a small ubuntu server setup and I would like to create a directory that can be written to by a select number of users. I have a backup directory setup and I want to enable my account as well as three others to be able to read/write to that directory. So far I haven't had any luck.
The owner of the backups folder, a directory on a separate disk mounted under /srv/storage, was owned by root and under the root group. I added the group backups and then changed the backups directory group to backups. I then used chown to change the backups directory to 775 to enable group members to write to it. I then tried to touch a file in the backups folder but no such luck. I did notice that when I run groups, my user account isn't shown as belonging to backups but is shown under the /etc/group file. I even made sure the GID of backups is in fact below 1000.
Anyone have an idea on how to create a shared directory that everyone can create, modify and delete any file? I believe my problem is related to the fact that root is the owner of the backups directory.
how to change when running command "adduser" or "useradd" the placement of the users home directory. Have tried editing the /etc/default/useradd file with no results.
I want it to be placed in /var/www And I would also want to know how more folders and files can be created in the home directory automatically.
I have an ftp server and normal login works fine as well as ftps but for some reason sftp sends all my accounts to the root directory of the entire server (not good). Been searching around but can't find a fix.

System: ubuntu 10.10
server: apache2 v2.2.16
I want to use the users public_html directory to run php scripts, but... in browser I get only downloading window to save. The apache2 is working in default directory (/var/www/index.php appears normally), but not in public_html. Tried a lot of solution from web and from this forum also, but still doesn't work correctly.

I have followed this howto but I can not browse the directory all users. [URL]
View 14 Replies View RelatedAs I regularly move between Mac and PC, I thought it would be a good idea to put all my data on an external drive. As Windows 7 and OS X have similar home folder layouts, I just simply put all the folders I need for both on the root of the external drive and changed a few settings so that the Home folder for my user is on the external drive on both Windows and OS X.
Whilst Ubuntu also has a similar structure, I cannot work out how to have it so that my users home folder is on the external drive. I have done a little research and all I can find is how to have the /home directory on another partition. a) this is not what I'm trying to do, just the folder for my user and b) this would mean formatting the external drive to extX format, which just wouldn't work for me.
I am using 9.10 (or will be once the upgrade is complete)
Since yesterday I'm fighting with OpenVPN on Ubuntu 10.04TLS and I can not cope with the authorization of users from Windows 2008 AD server. It looks like this: Published 93.159.XX.XX IP address the router and all traffic directed to the internal LAN IP 10.0.1.210. Customers who will combine the different platforms are Mac OS, Linux, Windows XP, 7, Vista. The whole domain is for Windows 2008. Uploader authLDAP module, but I still can not connect, that is, not after entering the username and password from the W2K8 domain does not log

I am using openSUSE 11.2 with active directory for authentication. I configured it using the Window Domain Membership YaST2 module and I can login successfully (although unreliably). The problem is that I need the UID and GID of the users on my computer to match the UID and GID assigned by Active Directory. Currently it just assigns UIDs and GIDs starting at 10000, which is completely different than the UID and GID used by Active Directory and by other Linux computer runs by the school (those use CentOS). Does anyone know how to get my openSUSE computer to assign UIDs and GIDs from Active Directory?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is the scenario: Active Directory Server = 192.168.0.1 Squid/Dansguardian Proxy Server w/NTLM Auth = 192.168.0.10 The Linux box has been integrated with AD and works fine. Users can authenticate automatically when login the AD or when they access the web through Basic authentication. That part is just fine.
But, when I add a new user, or change a users' primary group, I have to change the 'filtergroups' file in Dansguardian. I tried to make auto this process using the USERMAP and USERMAP2 scripts in [URL].. at the "Extras and Add Ons" section, but both scripts doesn't run properly in Ubuntu if they are not changed. I tried, following the instructions, but got a lot of syntax errors. So, I wrote a very simple script using 'net rpc' to retrieve all users according to the AD Security and Domain Groups. I created an output folder in dansguardian to dump the rpc outputs into files. And read the files to apply filtering groups.

I would like to have a directory
Code:
/home/shared
Where all human users have r/w permission for all files and sub-directories under this path. Can I achieve this buy just setting the permissions correctly or do I need to do something else?
I have a box with multiple users on it and I want everyone to be able to have full access to their home folders, but not be able to see the contents of /home/ or another user's home folder (I.E. bob has full access to /home/bob but cannot access or even see the contents of /home/john)Right now users can see other user's home folders but can't modify what's inside. How do I prevent them from seeing the contents at all?

I am trying to add new users, when I use the command: # useradd newuser
I get: useradd: cannot create directory /home/users/newuser
I went to my /etc/skel and when I use the command ls it displays:
home
and when I go into /etc/skel/home I have the two directories that I created.
I am logged in as root, and when I ls cd / it shows /home, when I cd into /home everything looks normal.
How do I get this error to stop so I can add new users?
I've created other users in my machine. now I want to add all my home directory contents and settings to the home directory of other users. how can i do that? Can I do it from /etc/skel directory?

I'm having trouble breaking down permissions in linux. Here's the scenario. I have two users: UserA & UserB with each having to ownership and access to directories myDirA and myDirB respectively.
UserA --> /source/myDirA
UserB --> /source/myDirB
I need to set the permissions so that userA can access myDirA and myDirB. There are other users and directories but they should not be able to view outside of their own directories (which is the way it is now). I don't have groups set up for them and I'd rather not change anything else but just the permissions.
rwxr_x_r_x UserA
rwxr_x_r_x UserB
They're read/write/exec permissions are identical.
Using CentOS 5.5. I have a handful of users that I need to have connect to my server via sftp and start in the same directory. for example, user1, user2, user3, etc.. will connect via sftp and upon connection will all be in the /some/dir/path/ftp-root directory.I know one way is to create these users all with the same 'home' directory, since by default a user starts in their home directory when connecting via sftp, but before just doing that, I wanted to find out if that is really the appropriate method to use? alternatives? Is there some setting on the sftp server end that could direct all users to one starting directory so that these users don't have to have the same 'home' dir? I'm using the sshd daemon that comes with CentOS 5.5 (with all current updates/patches)

What would be the best way to go about doing that? I've configured Winbind and joined it the the domain but I'm not able to login locally or SSH with an AD account. I'm not sure where to go from here. Also my users will not be accessing any file shares on this box, SSH only.

I see this questioned asked a lot and figured this tutorialThis tutorial explains how to create an SFTP server which confines (or chroot) users to their own home directory and deny them shell access.
