im interested to know how to change fingerprint ?Linux (Ubuntu) look like WindowsLinux kernel 2.6 look like Linux 2.4 ----apache 2.2 look like apache 1.3apache look like IIS
apache look like "BLABLABLA"
First off is there any way to configure ubuntu to log in with a password, fingerprint and usb token? Secondly what is the difference between the standard home folder encryption and the alternate install encryption?
Thirdly is it possible on new external hard drives that incorporate thumb scanners to install truecrypt on these? Fourthly does anyone here on ubuntu forums use lastpass with the 'yubikey' device-does it work well on ubuntu? And fifthly are ironkey usb keys worth the money or are they a scam?
Are there any possible options to archive this w/ the 2.6.34 kernel? I know windows can do this w/ a button and BSD can drop packets when connected to closed ports...is IP personality usable in 2.6? Do I need work-arounds? any more options??Currently I've managed to @%#$ my OS fingerprints so results won't show as Linux.4/2.6...etc, but the problem is.. instead it's got the word "Redhat" in it (which is well... worse... because now.. if someone looks at my machine he/she'll know I am on either RHEL/Fedora )
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have read that to improve security in Ubuntu a good fix is to make the /home folder tree non-executable by default. This would mean that malware could not run in the /home tree without changing the setup.Is this a viable change, or is it just icing on the cake, any one any thoughts on this.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got a samba share on a linux server, connecting to it with a windows 2k3 server via tools > map network drive. The goal is to be able to use windows to change the security of the samba share. The good news is it works! The bad news is it's not QUITE perfect:
The share is called /company. I started with the following to give everyone access to everything, set the owner of the share to administrator (my domain admin on the Windows domain), and set the group owner to domain users (group that everyone on the domain is part of):
Code:
chmod -R 777 /company
chown -R administrator /company
chgrp -R domain users /company
I then mapped the drive as a regular user, and of course, can access/modify/delete/rename/create anything I want. Then I picked a folder to lock down. Let's call it /company/myFolder. I did this on the Windows server by mapping the drive as administrator (the owner), right click > properties > security tab > advanced > highlight "domain users" and "everyone" and click edit > clear all (i.e. remove all access). Go back to Linux and
[Code]..
The only issue that remains is that I am able to rename/delete "myFolder" as a regular user. I thought this was coming from the "acl map full control = true" parameter in smb.conf, but I changed it to false and verified the change and it still happens. If I remove group and world write access to /company, I am no longer allowed to rename/delete myFolder, but then I can't create a new folder. If I add group write access back in I can create files but can also rename/delete folders within /company that have --- specified for group access. Any ideas what I need to tweak to make this right?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just installed openSUSE 11.2 KDE when I tried to enable fingerprint authentication yast didn't ask me to swipe my finger it was working properly on GNOME.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a thinkpad T510i with fingerprint reader. The device is detected by opensuse 11.4. I have enabled the reader in yast, went to the user management, selected my user and started the fingerprint plugin to read my fingerprint. The readers green led is on and it asks me to move my index over the reader. When I do this, it says registering fingerprint done, do it again, Sucessful prints: 1 (the equivalent in german). Ok, I do it again and the message changes to Successful prints: 2 and so on until it says fingerprint was sucessfully registered. And now? This is all i get:
Code:
$ su - joba
Could not locate any suitable fingerprints matched with available hardware.

I cant find fingerprints anywhere on the disk. Where should they be located? What names would the files have?
I've recently noticed that whenever I log in via fingerprint reader (AES2501), my system behaves strangely.
For example, the Gnome panels take almost a full minute to appear after everything else has been loaded, and there's no NetworkManager icon in the panel - even though nm-applet (and thus NetworkManager) is running as shown by top; that can be (partially) solved by killing NetworkManager, restarting dbus, and then manually running NetworkManager.
None of that happens when logging in using a password.
Short of not using my fingerprint reader, what can I do?
how to get the fingerprint recognition working on a dell Vostro?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSince yesterday my sudo doesn't work with my fingerprintreader anymore. su and GDM still do. sudo just asks me for the password instead of asking for a finger-swipe. AFAIR I changed nothing, but I accidentally forwarded the USB-Port on which the scanner is connected to VMware. I disconnected it, but maybe there could be the problem.

I have installed openSuSE 11.2 and my fingerprint reader have been detected on Hardware Information. But when I try to enable it on "Fingerprint Reader", it throws an error: Cannot write PAM settings as you can see on the following pic:

Months later I wanted to try libfprint and fprintd and successfully compiled it. But when I started the fprint_demo program it said no device found. Then I typed lsusb and saw my Fingerprint device was missing.

Why doesn't my laptop's built-in fingerprint scanner work in GNOME? It's fairly common (manufactured by UPEK) and I've tried fprintd and thinkfinger to no avail. The latter seems to be built for USB-attached devices and fails to find any device and the former installs and runs fine, but fails to recognize any fingerprints.
Using either fprintd-enroll or the GNOME "About Me" panel, fprintd will gladly register my fingerprint, but no amount of swiping will get it to actually recognize it afterwards. I try re-installing it every new update, but same results, what's going on?
Does any one know about fingerprint in HP dv4 to work.
fprint is installed but didnot detect the reader.

I am working on a project that requires fingerprint reader support. So, I installed the libfprint and libfprint-devel packages on my Fedora 14 system, to support my Authentec AES 2501 fingerprint reader. I know that my device is alright because it is working fine on the Windows 7 installed on the same system. In fedora, the fingerprint reader is recognized, when I run the fprintd-enroll command. The prompt to enroll the fingerprint is displayed on terminal. But, it just stands when I swipe my finger. I have tried everything but cannot resolve the issue. The output of usb-devices command shows "Driver=none" under fingerprint sensor usb device. But, I have the libfprint installed.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to install a USB fingerprint reader for a customer on a system running Ubuntu. So I have 2 questions:
1. Is there any specific brand that I should go for or avoid (regarding compatibility)?
2. Is there any software package (open source) that will allow them to use the fingerprint scanner to update clock sheets for workers?
I've got a strage problem with openssh-server on debian lenny. I've done setup of sshd and basically everything works fine. I can check the fingerprint of the ssh-keys on the server and it matches with the fingerprint shown on the client for the first connection. so the key is stored in the known-hosts-file on the client.
The problem occurs after a "connection reset by peer" (i guess when the connected client goes to sleep or a timeout occures)!
After such a reset, when I try to connect to the server, the banner "WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!" appears and the shown fingerprint of the server-key is totally wrong (it differs from the one on the server, BUT it is everytime when this problem occurs the same fingerprint). If I nevertheless remove the correct key from the known-host-file and accept the new key, I still can't login (permission denied).
To fix this situation temporarily I just need to restart the networking on the server. After the network-restart I get (again) the correct fingerprint of the server-key and can login without problems. Until the next connection reset.
I have a DigitalPersona U.are.U 4000 Fingerprint Reader. I can run fprintd-enroll, and the device turns on, but it does not recognise anything that touches it. 'yum install *fprint*'
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm new to ubuntu. Now iam using Karmic Koala. I want to change my password. So i used,
system->Administration->users and groups to change my password . As i entered my new password and clicked on 'Change Password', It is saying, 'password changed'. But when I click the close button in the main users and groups window, it is asking for my password, and I am forced to enter my old password only.
After the window is closed, i logout to check whether my password is changed. But it is not. I have to enter my old password to login.
Is it best to do this via the terminal or gui interface? does this meanthat the home folder encryption password is the same as the old login password?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've enabled root under Ubuntu (i know frowned upon), I'd like to change the default behaviour of sudo so that rather than requesting my password (the password I logon with), it requires the root password.
Have searched the forums but can't find the answer.
When I go the the Change Password dialog box and type my new password, the box seems to stall forever when I try to change my password. The Authenticate and Change password buttons are grayed out but the Close button still works and when I click on it the box will close without changing my password.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubuntu 10.4 on an Intel machine. The machine also has Windows 7. So some of the partitions of the hard drive are Windows compatible (NTFS). They are all mounted when system is booted with Ubuntu and all files are accessible. However, when I try to change permission or limit access to a group, CHMOD command does not work. It doesn't return any error and everything seems to work fine but I can't change any permission.
