I'm using vsftpd to setup an ftp server, but whenever i attempt to connect, it asks me for a user name ( which i enter and it accepts) but it then asks for a password, which i am clueless as to what it is. I'm certain that i havent specified a password in any config file. Is there a default password i should know about?

How do I set up a server to where it does not give a password prompt to access a shared folder?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI set up a servber on my local machine, & also PHp - Both working fine.I'm trying to load up MYSQL i have installed it, & *can* start/stop the server. however if I do anything else with it, I get this error :-
Quote:
root@gordon-desktop:~# sudo mysqladmin -u root -h localhost password MYPASSWORD
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
Query :-
1) How do I know MYSQL is actually active ? (apart from the message it says that its statrted (or stopped).
2) Is there a way to
a) Find out the usernames that are recorded on the MYSQL server ?
b) set / RESET the 'root' username (I know MYSQL root user is different to PC root user)
c) anything else I can do on the PHP / website code to see if MYSQL is working
(as yet, no tables / databases etc have been set up - as I can't get past this error message - I get the same error when setting up a database.)
Ps I did allow my usermname (when logged in to ubuntu) to edit / create files in the /usr/www/ directory (but it is still OWNED by 'root' - that directory)
How do I disable the screensaver password prompt when I've already turned it off in System > Preferences > Screensaver? I tried checking and unchecking the box again and I also tried rebooting.

I'm using 10.04 lucid lynx.
I've managed to setup Ubuntu Server 9.10, and created folders/files toview/edit/execute with Windows and Mac.
Now here is my dilemma, this is for a home server, and I will have 4 users(1 for myself, one with "admin" rights, my fiance(mac user), media pc, and a "guest" account for the computer or 2 that are out in the public(they don't need access to my taxes ).
I'd like to have it so that on my laptop, I can access the whole server, but some files/folders would even need me to put in a password. I want to do this because my fiance gets delete happy and deletes things, so if she goes on my computer she won't delete important info. I'd like her to have access to music, photos, and videos, as well as her having her own folder that she can treat as her hard drive.
The question is, do I need to setup a domain for this, or can I get away with a workgroup?

Im trying to config my intranet to be accessible from inside the network (lan) without need of password and ask for a passwd for those who are viewing from Wan ....

A piece of my config:

Using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
I have an intranet server behind a NAT router. Very standard linksys router home setup. The server has a static IP. I used port forwarding in the router to use SSH and log into the server remotely - it works OK.
I want no one outside my home network to access any webpages on the server unless they're authenticated.. I know I could port forward like with ssh but with http port 80 and then see webpages , but again this would open it up to anyone with my cable modem's IP - wouldn't it?
I need a secure way like SSH that requires a password before anyone could access port 80 and http from the server from a remote network.
How do I do this? And on the local network people can get served pages normally as usual. Just remote would need authentication. Must be commonly done(?)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently switched from centos to fedora as my server choice. Probably not the best decision but I like trying new things. Now before I switched I had my samba server setup just they way I wanted it. Now I'm having a hard time getting it back to that way. Here is my smb.conf
Code:
[global]
workgroup = workgroup
netbios name = netbios name
server string = Linux Server
security = user
wins support = yes
encrypt passwords = Yes
domain logons = yes
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = yes
writable = yes
valid users = %S
[me]
path = /home/me
read only = no
public = yes
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
browseable = yes
writable = yes
Now I did throw away my old smb.conf because it wasn't that complicated and I figured I could reproduce it.. aside from that everything is working except for the fact that I can access any share I want to listed without it requesting a password. I have a username and password setup with smbpasswd and I think everything else is setup correctly involving samba shares but I have no idea why it won't request a password.
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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have FC14 running NIS master and the Solaris 10 (192.168.0.10) client is able to use authenticate. However, when I try to change the passwd (via yppasswd) on the Solaris host it reports "Permission denied".
On the FC14 host, the syslogs show that the passwd is invalid:
Code:
Dec 26 22:09:49 linux rpc.yppasswdd[2031]: update test (uid=502) from host 192.168.0.10 rejected
Dec 26 22:09:49 linux rpc.yppasswdd[2031]: Invalid password.
The Solaris host has been reconfigured to generate md5 passwds and the linux host the same (via authconfig). Indeed when I set a local user's passwd on the Solaris host, the passwd (the shadow entry) looks like a MD5 passwd (starts: $1). I don't know if this is related to my NIS problem, but when I generate the SAME passwd on linux, the shadow entry is different.

I'm new to Linux and have taken over at a company where the linux admin walked out. he has several older linux based servers running version 8.1 i tried running the command sudo apt-get install swat xinetd to setup swat but i get an error that it can't find the package. in addition, this directory xinetd is no where to be found under the etc directory. i've verified that samba is in fact installed on these servers but for some reason the xinetd and inetd directories are not on these servers.
Could it be possible that this older version of linux does not support Swat? i'm considering upgrading very soon to the latest but my main problem right now is i need to copy all web server html files that he had on the web Server i know there are different ways to copy files from linux systems but need the best way to copy all the files so none of the website links get broke off this linux server over to my windows server.
Since i don't have access to anything of the directories nor files on the web server, what is the best way to copy these files and folders off this server?

View 3 Replies View Relatedi have setup Open VPN on Ubuntu 9.04, generated the key and have it running successfully on the server end.

All went well and the open vpn gui said its connected to the server (green comp icon in taskbar) and it said in a ballon it assigned me an ip of 10.8.0.6 it all looks good... BUT i have no vpn access... The virtual adapted in windows is not able to pull an actual IP/gateway and such...

I have a few issues after setting up Openvpn. At work i just setup a new Ubuntu Server 10.4. The server itself is working Great. I ended up getting Openvpn installed and working to a point. I have searched online and done as much reading as i could find but i keep running into the problem of not understanding. So here is the problem.
The server is set on a static IP address. At first i tried to have the config file listen on a virtual ip address i setup up in /etc/network/interface but that ended up not working so i set it to its specific ip address. I kept running into the error about script security while trying to start Openvpn. I tried to add into the config file "script-security 2" that way the up.sh and down.sh scripts were allowed to be run. That didn't help and then i kept trying to run Openvpn manually running the command

And i kept getting a message

So what i did was just comment out the "up" and "down" scripts in the config file. This allowed me to actually get Openvpn started on the server. So once this was done i connected form a client machine and was given an ip address like i should. The only issue is that i was not able to actually comunicate with the server. I have a samba share on there to allow me to copy files back and forth but an not able to actually communicate with the server at all. I should note that this is a web server that i can view from the outside. (actually get to the webpage) but i tried to access the website and share via the Openvpn gateway. I also tried to access the website portion using the hostname with no luck.
By the way, prior to putting the server on its separate network i was able to access the webpage and the samba share using both the ip address and the hostname.
I'm thinking about some ways to limit access to my web-server. It runs Nginx and php in FCGI. The server contains a large amount of information. The data is freely available and no authentication is required but other companies might like to mirror it and use on their own servers.
The requests could be limited on different levels: IP, TCP, HTTP (by nginx) or by the php application. I found some solutions (like Nginx's limit_req_zone directive), but they do not solve the second part of the problem: there's no way to define a whitelist of clients who are allowed to use the data.
I thought about an intellectual firewall that would limit the requests on IP basis, but I'm yet to find such device. Another way was to hack some scripts that would parse the log file every minute and modify the iptables to ban suspicious IPs. It would take days and I doubt this system will survive, say, 1000 requests per second.
Perhaps, some HTTP proxy, like Squid, could do this?
I have no idea what is going on here and this is the second time it has done this but. I just installed Lucid Lynx Desktop Edition for my Server. I have installed apache php5 mysql binarys. I have 3 ips on the machine 10.0.1.30, 10.0.1.37, 10.0.1.38. .30 is the main ip 10/100 the rest are 10,100,1000 ports. I can only access Apache 2.2 over .37 or .38 but not .30
I have not used Ubuntu alot but I am starting to and this really pisses me off since all my computer have aliases to the machine through .30

View 9 Replies View RelatedI just finished setting up my small server, however I realized that no one can connect to it from the outside. The reason being is that my router is assigning internal ip's and dyndns is linked to that. I need port 80 for the Apache server, but if I have the router forward that port to my particular ip, won't it screw with everyone else's internet too?
