Ubuntu Servers :: Quickbooks Server For 6 Users?
Mar 18, 2010
I need to setup a simple server to make available Quickbooks accounting data to just a few stations. Can this be done with Ubuntu desktop version? Would it be recommended due to the small number of users? Or should I use a server platform?I have never used Linux before but have used command line interfaces and am looking forward to it. I installed Ubuntu Server 9.10 32 bit and have even gone as far as logging in. Amazing I know. I installed it on a separate disk so I can switch between Windows and Linux startup disks at boot via cmos.as a first step into linux would like to be able to browse the web from Ubuntu Server 9.10 if the Server edition is in fact the route I should be taking.I would also like a good source to learn not only command line commands but also all the stuff that I see after the commands, you know, all the stuff with - signs all over the place.

Can someone tell me if it is easier to set up permissions for users on the server or on the desktop?

I am trying to setup a mumble server on Ubuntu Server 10.10. I have downloaded/installed all of the necessary files and configured my router to open up the necessary port (64738 ). However users outside of my network are unable to connect to the server (get Timeout error). Also to add, I am fairly new to using linux/ubuntu.I made a post on reddit where you will find more information regarding my problem: [URL]

I'm looking for some sort of a way keep track of all of my users that are logging in to my server (centos 5), what I mean is this: at our firm we outsource some of our work (programing), now all of the developing is done under our servers, what I'd like to find is a way of taking all of the users log on time and display by days/weeks/months - so I could see how much did everyone had put in. Another thing that I'm looking for is a way to monitor an ongoing session and record user activity, now I've seen ObserveIT, but it doesn't support Linux agents as of today.

I'm establishing a server that runs DHCP server, NAT gateway and VPN server. It have two physical interfaces, one for intranet and one for internet. The NAT gateway will give internet access for intranet. Another site will connect to this server by VPN. I need the server to assign a different subnet for that site other than the local site. Do anyone know how to config the DHCP server? Should I config the client classing, and how to do it?

If I want to add Windows & Mac users as Samba users, must I first add them all as Ubuntu users? If so, since none of the other users will actually be working on the Ubuntu Server, how do I disable the other non-admin users on the Ubuntu Server login screen. I am using Webmin to administer some server settings, and command line for others.

Short storey is my gf's father (as in priest) pc is infected and his webmail account was hacked so he's now sensitive and understands the significance of a scammer running wild with his name. Oh he's running win98.
I've picked up a cheep off-lease dell (P4, 3GHz) and am tossing over the OS. Has anyone tried Quickbooks on wine? Good luck, successfull? No I don't own it, the perish does, and I can't run away with it so flailing out of site isn't an option. Yes I really want to setup a linux box here before settling for Windows so any thoughts or suggestions short of training him to use gnu cash

We need to provide multiple people from outside access to QuickBooks. Each and everyone user from outside should be able to connect (remotly) to their own sandbox (maybe) or virtual screen and be able to use Quickbooks to update their own books.
I was wondering if there is any way to use Xen or some sort of Virtualization to achive this using CentOS virtualization? I want to save on MS Windows license if possible.
If not, then what do you suggest I should do with Windows + CentOS to get this running? Should I install multiple instances of Windows onto CentOS and give access to users?

If there are users in a network who have desktop Linux (any variety), is there a way to configure their computers to "require" them to save documents to the network? Like for example, redirecting their /Home folders to a network file server or not allowing them to save files to their local hard drives?

I wonder if other people have this problem. sometimes I need to duplicate most or all of a server from one machine to another. part where I most tend to have issues is with recreating the users. Sometimes the UIDs don't match up because of differences between the two systems, which gives funky results, like files owned by the wrong user.
Or, sometimes, I just need to create the same 10 users on x number of machines, and it's tedious to do this 10x times. Plus, then, if you need to change a password or delete a user, you have to do it x times.Any recommendations on how to centralize users/auth?

I have inherited a RedHat 5.4 server that is having an odd issue. Root and all of the user accounts can log in via SSH. Not a single account can log in via the console (sitting in front of the server). If I bring it up in single user made, I can log in with root all day long.
I want to say that this has something to do with PAM, but this is when I play my "Noob" card. Could anyone possibly steer me in the right direction to figure out what is going on?

I have 3 IPs and 3 users running, I want each user to use a Single unique IP for all inbound and outbound traffic Also disallow a user from using the IP other then the one allocated to him.

I'm using vsftpd on my server. When I connect (using file-zilla) from other computers on the same network I can't download any files. I can upload, create directories, and delete stuff, but I can't download. I've disabled anonymous access and enabled local user log-in. My /etc/vsftpd.conf
Code:
# Example config file /etc/vsftpd.conf
#
# The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid. This sample file
# loosens things up a bit, to make the ftp daemon more usable.
# Please see vsftpd.conf.5 for all compiled in defaults.

I have two ubuntu 10.04 64-bit servers running samba (3.4.7) and openLDAP (2.4.21). The LDAP directory is successfully replicating between the two servers. These servers also serve as LDAP servers for sudo, pam, nss, and other services for a dozen servers without issues. The BDC samba is configured to use itself for LDAP. I connected to the BDC using the samba ldap credentials and verified I could a) see the Computer object b) read NTPassword and LMPassword. The workstations can authenticate to the domain successfully against the PDC. If a workstation boots and connects to the BDC, they login fails with:
Code:

Successful authentication against the PDC shows:

installed Ubuntu Server Edition and I've found that my first user has a bash history and I can turn on a coloured prompt by editing my .bashrc etc but new users don't have that!I did : useradd -d /home/newb -m newbpasswd newband the correct looking .bashrc file appears to be in /home/newb but it is being ignore by bash when logged in as newb. Instead I am presented with just a dollar prompt instead of "newb@server"how can I sort out my users with proper prompts?

I am moving a webserver from a Gutsy to Lucid server. The webserver works fine, but I am having a problem with the users. I moved the home directories, along with passwd, group, shadow, and gshadow. The users can login fine, and their home directories are fine. The problem is when they try to logout, they get
$logout
-sh: logout: not found

GUI for several thousand simultaneous users. I know this post may at first seem a little out of place here when you begin to read it but please bear with me and I think you will understand why I am seeking feedback here. The company I work for (whose name I am withholding for now) is currently running a little over 5,000 Linux servers. Each of these servers has a minimum of 500 users, some as many as 3,000 users on them during a business day.
These servers are serious pieces of hardware. They have hot swappable raid arrays, redundant well most everything is redundant on them, frankly. Our conversion to Linux took place about 8 years ago. We have a proprietary database and development environment that was originally built in the 1970s. All but the most recent applications run in this proprietary environment, whereas our newer applications are using PostgreSQL and executables that are delivered using Apache web server and run inside each users Windows Explorer session on their local PC.
Really, our situation is rather typical of any organization that has legacy software that still gets the job done - with the possible exception of the **massive** number of total users we keep up-and-running every day. more, our next Linux servers are expected to support somewhere between 6,000-8,000 users [exact figure yet to be determined]. You may ask this is all very interesting but why are you posting this here?.
I am researching alternate ways of presenting attractive and functional GUI to users of Linux servers. I find the Ubuntu GUI to be attractive and very functional. the user input these forums get. Finally I am looking for points of view outside my own organization so I don't fall into the 'but we don't do it that way here' mental trap and miss a really great concept.
I have an idea about how to solve this growing challenge, and I want to present it here for your review and comments. For those who might think I have never worked on systems of this size; I can't imagine my opinion would be valuable remember this: The Ark was built by a passionate volunteer; The Titanic was built by paid professionals.....

How do I migrate my user list to a new server installation? I thought that just copying /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow would be enough. I recently tried upgrading a lightweight bazaar server to 11.04, and the upgrade crashed. I had to perform a new installation of Ubuntu to recover operation of the system. I installed on a different hard drive. I had a dozen other people with user logins, so that they can get or modify bazaar repositories.
The new installation is running, and I can read all of the files on my old system's / drive. I tried copying the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files onto my new /etc -- but that did not seem to work. (When I looked using the System->Administration->Users-and-Groups GUI tool, there were no users visible, so I restored the old files.) What I intended to do was to clone the /etc and /home trees over to the new system. What am I missing?

I have a server setup with all my web development stuff in /var/www and in several sub-folders within that. (each project having it's own folder)It works great with one FTP account. But recently I've been getting help on a projects from a buddy of mine that freelances, and have made him an FTP user account as well. All is fine, except for when he tries to edit a file and gets a permissions error.
Here's the issue, I don't want us to have the same FTP login, but all the files are currently owned by my user name. So, when he logs in to edit a file, he can't because I'm the owner, and the files are set to 744. Will I cause any harm by adding both users to the same group (www-data) and chmod'ing the files to 775 so that we can both access and modify the files?

I'm currently running a small server using 9.10 and I wondered if using groups was a possible route in order to keep users away from the bulk of the file system and keep them in locked their home directories.
What I planned to do is use a group named 'allowsystemfiles' to be added to admin accounts, then to set parts of the file system to that group, along with the permissions 0760 to keep non-admin users out.
Is is a good idea or will this hose my system?
