Ubuntu Installation :: EE PC New Install / Forgotten Windows Password?

Nov 22, 2010

This is the first time I will be using Ubuntu OS. I have an Asus Ee PC 4g which has windows XP running on it. I forgot my password, I was using the administrator's account, and tried to use Opcrack to retrive it. I down loaded Opcrack on to my desktop and followed the instructions to put it on to my usb key.

I started up Asus Ee PC and got it to boot from the usb, Opcrack ran OK but came up with the password of my desktop which I had down loaded the programme to? As I have very little stuff on the Asus I decided I would just try and install Ubuntu and clear Windows off my Asus? I down loaded Ubuntu and put the it on to my USB OK and got it running.

I clicked the install folder on the desktop but the install stalled on the second step, the page after language? I am going to try and down load again using a torrent as I read this may be quicker and prevent from anything going wrong in the process.

Ubuntu Servers :: Users On The Machine Can Login Into Vsftpd With Their Username And Password On The Machine And Go To Their Root Dir "/home/username"?

Nov 3, 2010

I recently installed vsftpd on my server. I noticed that users on the machine can login into vsftpd with their username and password on the machine and go to their root dir "/home/username".Now, I want to give some people a vsftpd username and password so they can upload and download files and folders to their folder, but this folder has to be in the "/var/www/(username)" folder. I don't want them to be able to go to any other folder than their own folder like "/var", "/etc" or "/home" etc. Also I don't want them to be able to login on the machine as a user, through putty for example. They should only be allowed to acces their folder with vsftpd, nothing else.

Ubuntu :: Prompted For Username And Password At Startup?

Aug 30, 2010

not for the typical username and password that I use to log into my computer. It's actually prompting me, upon startup/reboot to have me insert my name and password, in what appears to be the command prompt. I am still a noob with Ubuntu and Linux in general, so I have no idea what I did to make this happen. It's not terrible and zomg if it doesn't get fixed I'll die, but it is slightly inconvenient to have to "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" every time I reboot my computer. Anyone know what I have to do to fix this?I would also like to apologize if this has been covered in another topic, but I could not find anything

Ubuntu :: Install Without Username And Password (donation Pc)?

Oct 3, 2010

I am holding a computer building workshop with my school's technology club. We are going to build a computer from scratch and install Ubuntu on it. Since we are going to donate the computer to an underprivileged elementary school student who is yet to be determined, I don't want to setup a generic username and password.Is there anyway fully install Ubuntu and then on first boot have the student type in their desired username and password? I want to make this as easy as possible for the student. I am really excited for this event and glad that I can give back to the community.

Ubuntu :: Find Out The Ftp Username And Password On Computer?

Aug 26, 2010

I installed lucid lynx about a month ago. with I installed filezilla and I have wordpress running on localhost.

When I do an automatic on wordpress it asks for ftp credentials. I don't my ftp credentials. I was not aware that I had ftp username and password. I am not sure if that means I installed the ftp server without knowing. my root password does not work on this.

I tried searching through wordpress forums but most of them show me how to set the ftp username and password in wp-config file so that it doesn't ask for it every time.

How can I find out the ftp username and password on my computer.

Ubuntu Security :: SSH Server - Username / Password Encrypted

Jan 31, 2010

There was a recent thread in this forum regarding capturing of SSH passwords via the use of wireshark. The thread subject was closed, which is a decision that I both agree with as well as agree with the reasoning behind. The thread, however, raised a point of curiosity and concern that I would like to ask about. Quoting from a the book, SSH, The definitive guide,

The client authenticates you to the remote computer's SSH server using an encrypted connection, meaning that your username and password are encrypted before they leave the local machine. The SSH server then logs you in, and your entire login session is encrypted as it travels between client and server. Because the encryption is transparent, you won't notice any differences between telnet and the telnet-like SSH client.

I was under the impression that SSH was impervious to this type of eavesdropping, and quite frankly I take great comfort in that idea. I personally, only allow RSA keys for SSH access and (hopefully) avoid this problem (?) as a result. Does SSH really have a vulnerability in that the authentication is sent via plain text? How to ensure the security of SSH and not on anything that could be considered a how to 'crack' it.

Ubuntu :: Changing Username - Password Not Working On Restart

Mar 23, 2010

I did these steps to change my username: I like to directly edit /etc/passwd and /etc/groups

First open a terminal, become root
Code:
sudo -i
Now:
Code:
usermod -d /home/new -m old
sed -i -e 's_old_new_g' /etc/passwd
sed -i -e 's_old_new_g' /etc/group<-
sed -i -e 's_old_new_g' /etc/shadow

My computer shut down after I did the second step and now my password isn't working! I cannot open my home folder or get back to root!
