I installed Ubuntu Server and want to change the default user name to increase the difficulty of accessing the server.Is it possible to do this? If not, can I effect the same change by creating a new user and transferring over permissions, files, and etc.?

I have now been trying to find an answer for the following for a while and can't seem to get anything.On previous linux distros we had the option available "passwd -e" which allowed us to force the user to change their passwords upon the next login.s functionality however seems to be excluded from latest linux distros (currently using RHEL 5.4)...Does anybody know how the same effect can be achieved and perhaps any idea on why this option was removed as it was great for securing passwords
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using VSFTPD as my FTP daemon. I want it to be set up so that my user (cj) will have a default directory of / when I log on to the FTP server and I want the secondary account (guest) to have it's home directory as the default location without any access to the root of the drive.
I need my account to have the default as / because the FTP client that I use in Windows won't go up to the parent directory of the default. Therefore, I cannot access the rest of my drive.
When I set "local_root" to "/" , it brings both users to the / directory when they sign in, even though the guest account is set to open the home directory with the "chroot_list_enable". It seems like the local_root option overrides the chroot_list_enable option.
Is there any way to set the default directory for each local user separately?
Also, Let me know if this is impossible with this FTP daemon
I finally got the server running. All seems OKAY, however I want to change the default player on my server. As of now, when I upload a file, it plays but has no "play/pause/stop/mute/fullscreen" buttons. How do I get those? I've tried installing FFMPEG, MPlayer and a few others to no avail. Please suggest a tried&true method of allowing for this. I need it to be able to at least play audio(mp3) and video(mp4,wmv,avi,flv)

View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to change my ssh port from the default 22 to something else. I did the following: vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config; uncommented Port 22 and changed it to the desired port number. After that I run service sshd restart for the change to take an effect. Now, when I want to login into the new port I receive this message - Network error:Unable to route to host. When I change the port back to 22, I will be able to login again.
View 6 Replies View RelatedRunning a server using CentOS 5.5 (yum updated, x86_64), found that when using /usr/sbin/useradd to create system user, the quota for the user will default set to 5M soft and 10M hard (on /var/spool/mail partition).

I'm using CFEngine 2.2.8 to configure a network of Debian servers, the servers have two interfaces eth0 and eth1, how can I configure cfagent to take as the default interface eth1? eth0 is the internal interface and eht1 is the one with the public IP, I need to define classes based on lists of public IPs and it would be really helpfull if I could use functions as IPRange that only consider IP in eth0 interface.

View 16 Replies View RelatedI have got a RHEL 5.6 server configured to authenticate via a Windows 2008 domain controller via LDAPS.Everything is working fine, except from the following: When I create a new user in Active directory and check the option "user must change password at next logon", the new user cannot logon and gets an "access denied" message. In /var/log/secure, I find the following:

I've a DHCP server in RHEL 5 and 100+ users in my network. I mapped 30 users MAC address with ip. Rest are getting ip address automatically. In my network, users tend to move from one department to another frequently. I've created scopes according to departments. (i.e. Dept A - 172.19.54.10-172.19.54.30 and so on for other departments).
1) I want to configure DHCP server in this way, that a client have to autheticated by DHCP server before receive and IP address.
2) Second, Whether DHCP server have free IPs in scope, but only clients can obtain IPs those MACs are mapped, rest should not without authentication or authorization.

My goal is this: Allow a user to connect to a server via SSH with any login name or password without checking to see if that account exists on that server. Their account would be captured by a universal account say, 'generic_user', and then they would be directed to one of my python scripts with the username and password they supplied for initial login. At this point my script would capture their SSHD process ID and allow/deny their existence based upon a MySQL/Subscription check.
The part I'm having trouble with is with PAM and allowing the user to login with any credentials and be successfully authenticated under the generic account. Beyond that, everything is great.
