I can log in when using the keyboard from the server no problems but when I try and log on from my laptop this morning using putty I can connect type in my user name but when I put in my password it says access denied now I also can not FTP and webmin does not connect to the server but I can get to the web pages no problem with a browser so can this be fixed or do I have to start from scratch again to get me logged in with putty and webmin somehow the password is not working in ssh.
I have installed Ubuntu Server 10.10 in Virtual Box in order to evaluate it for a project.I have installed Gnome and can log in fine using my password. However, whenever I am prompted for my password when doing anything SUDO I am told my password is incorrect, starting Synaptic, for example
I have one of those ultra reliable Ubuntu servers in the corner that I never have to logon to because it never needs anything. I needed to check up on it today and my root password would not work. I am absolutely sure I did not forget my password and because I am the only Linux guy in the office I am sure some nimrod didn't get his fingers in the machine. I attempted to enter GRUB recovery mode but when I hit ESC it says something about no disk and goes into the booting process. I attempted to use a desktop version live CD, but the file structure is unreadable, I assume due to the security of the server system. Before I rebooted it the server worked fine, Apache and PHP were working away. Now the whole thing is a 50Lb boat anchor. How can I reset the password when I cannot enter GRUB menu or use a live CD?
Some people have said that it's dumb to use the same key for multiple things, but for curiosity's sake, is it possible to convert one's private key to id_rsa? I know that I can convert my public key to id_rsa.pub with ``$ gpgkey2ssh [key ID] >id_rsa.pub'', and that makes me think that there should be a way to do it with my private key.
New machine, need to append my id_rsa.pub to my remote SSH box, cannot use ssh-copy-id because I cannot specify the port I've got the machine running on.
I have an rsync server and am now setting up cwrsync on my windows machine. I want to be able to run cwrsync over ssh with public private keys. I followed a tutorial over here to set this up. It, however, still prompts me for server password and works only if I provide the password. For some reason the public/private key process is not working.
- I generated a key using the command: ssh-keygen -t rsa -N '' (I verified the key gets generated on my Windows machine)
- I uploaded the generated file id_rsa.pub to server /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
I am also prompted for a password if from command prompt I run this command to log into server: ssh -i c:docume~1user.sshid_rsa root@<server_ip_address> On server I have changed the configuration file (/etc/ssh/ssh_config) to say:
RSAAuthentication yes PubkeyAuthentication yes
I then restarted the sshd service, however, to no avail.
I thought these were the same password?In-fact, they WERE the same password on the set-up I currently have.But now, weirdly, I can log in fine but I the exact same password is not using in order to perform admin tasks.I've tried a recovery mode, console, and then "password (username)" in order to reset the password.This does reset the password I need to use to log in, but the password still does not work for performing admin tasks
I just installed the lamp stack and so far my default site is working. But a 2nd site I made is not working.I created the config file in /etc/apache2/sites-availableit reads:Quote:

I'm on Natty Narwhal and wanted to play with ssh but I can't seem to get ssh to work without having to specify a password. I've installed openssh-server. I've generated a public/private key pair:
ssh-keygen
I can see my id_rsa and id_rsa.pub and known_hosts.
am logged in as user pgroarke and simply trying to run ssh on the same box. Regardless of whether I specify either localhost or hostname I still get asked for a password:
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub pgroarke@spock date pgroarke@spock's password: Here is the relevant contents of my /var/log/auth: Jun 18 16:21:37 spock sshd[30357]: last message repeated 2 times
created a domain and used filezilla and everything works fine.Now,i want in order to have someone access to my domain,to ask him for username and password.
I upgraded Samba to 3.5.2 to enable Windows 7 to log in to the PDC. ACL was working with the Samba 3.0.28a that came with 8.04LTS. After upgrade I can now log in to the domain with Win 7 but ACL permissions are not working on Win7, XP or anything. They still show on the server but any attempt to change permissions on the workstation fails with "Access is Denied" and only user/group/other permissions are doing anything. Anyone know what changes for the ACL were made between the two versions? I know they're working on switching to VFS modules but setting "vfs objects = acl_xattr"
Every time i contact to wireless I have to put wpa code in but then it asks for password to unlock which i put in then it asks again and so on, i googled problem found it sayes to delete files in .gnome2 reboot then start again is this correct [URL]

I did both methods, neither worked When i did the method on the ..... video, i did not see my username or pssword in the Shadow file.
I have two machines at home. I am trying to setup the ssh server on the server machine so I can connect from the client machine with no password (keys authentication).Well, that shouldn't have been too hard, but the thing is the server user account I want to be able to connect to with keys auth has no password (that is actually the reason I want to setup keys auth). I have done everything in this guide (URL...), both alternatives, but with no success, because at some time I have to ssh the server to the user account that has no password (either with scp or ssh-copy-id) and it fails.
My question is: since I have root access on the server machine, can't I copy manually the public key from the client to the server? (doing manually what ssh-copy-id actually does).Or, maybe there is another way, to change the password on the passwordless account. I have tried with # su <acct>, then passwd, but it doesn't work (asks me for the old password). I was thinking about editing /etc/shadow manually, and inserting the hash in the password field for that account (it currently has an ! ). Would that work?
I'm trying to work on the SmashTheStack wargame on Ubuntu, and I'm stuck at level 1 with using John the Ripper (JTR). I got the encrypted password and was able to run JTR on it using
Code:
but the output is
Code:
I'm pretty sure that the 'trying:' part is supposed to be the attempted passwords, but this one doesn't work, and this is the only one that gets output. When I run
Code:
I get
Code:
Which I'm guessing means that nothing happened.. what am I doing wrong, and how can I get it to work?
I'm using Ubuntu 10.4 i set up the ftp server and config it. i'm trying to created name and password for my sister so she can login into my ftp server.
I also have one more problem, at this point i can only login into my internal ip, and when i try to login with the external ip, it wont let me in. so at this point i can only login on my local network.
I have a problem with ssh.I followed this guide:and no matter what I try, I still can't disable password authentication. I want users to require a private key to prevent from brute force hackers.
The system recognizes the signal and asks me to input the network password, which matches;but when asked for the second password, the "nm connection editor", the password doesn't match. Isn't that password the same as the log on?
I'm using Firefox (v 3.0.9) under Kubuntu (just update to v9.04) and activated the password reminder (via Preferences -> Security -> Remember passwords for sites)but no password are rembered. This functionality was working previously (unfortunately I cannot state when it start to stop).It was already not working before my upgrade to v9.04.
I basicly want certian folders to deny access to all clients exept those that supply the correct user name and password. I tried following the directions here (for the basic authentication), but its not working.i have
I want to have /boot as an ext2 (I don't need journaling and I might want to undelete something) and all other partitions in an LVM.When the server starts it will prompt me for the LVM password. I would like to be able to contact the server using SSH (or using another secure method) and tell the password. Since /usr/sbin and all the other partitions are inside the LVM I guess I have a problem?
Is it possible to setup something like this? The SSH session for the LVM authentication does not have to be a daemon. It can be something which just sits and waits until I connect and input the password. And then the "real" SSH deamon kicks in.
I need to host a user directory and home directors on a Ubuntu 10.04 box. I've installed openLDAP and I can connect a mac to it. how to install the mac schema or add users etc to it. I can view the directory in Workgroup Manager on Mac OS X Server but I also dont know how to set the admin username or password.
I have installed servers(10.04 LTS Server) with Kerberos + LDAP, now I can ssh to all those servers and login with kerberos principle. But when I want to change password, I got such error:
Code: Current Kerberos password: Enter new Kerberos password: Retype new Kerberos password: Password change rejected: Password not changed. Kerberos database constraints violated while trying to change password.
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error passwd: password unchanged I have search this issue but cannot any useful information. Would someone give me a direction?
