I am trying to setup 2 individual FTP users. They should both have access to the same directory. They both need to be able to read/write into the directory. But, I want them not to be able to write to each other's files (e.g. delete, remove, rename, etc.).
So let's say the shared directory is: /home/ftp/shared/
UserA needs read/write access to /home/ftp/shared/. UserA should only have write access to his own files.
UserB also needs read/write access to /home/ftp/shared/. UserB should only have write access to his own files.
It would be a unix box of sorts, but that is the only restriction. I could use whatever software. I am currently thinking pure-ftpd or vsftp but I am open to all ideas.
I want to update all the machines in the network from a central repository which is on my master server and whose archive directory is shared through samba.I searched in the man page of sources.list and found that there is an option for this but can't able to implement this. Can anybody kindly tell me the way to do the same.
There is like one month since dig fails running after some upgrade. Platform: Ubuntu-Server 6.06.1 _Dapper Drake_ - Release amd64 Error: Code: dig: error while loading shared libraries: libdns.so.21: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
I am looking into encrypting some data on a Fedora samba server. I'm not entirely sure the best way to do this. The server is currently running Fedora 5 but it can be updated if necessary.
I would prefer if the server could be booted up and that no interaction at the server itself have to be done so that users can access their shares.
Is there a way for the data to be encrypted on the server but when the user access the share over samba that it can be accessed?
The research i have done so far seems to point towards methods more intended for a desktop setup. Such as entering passwords at bootup or when opening folders.
I installed the latest Gimp beta and it worked fine but then I couldn't open it. I removed it and I reinstalled but it didn't work, so I installed the latest stable version (no beta) and it still does not work, when I open it form Terminal, this is the response:gimp: error while loading shared libraries: libbabl-0.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I upgrade the system from 11.1 to 11.2 seems everything work fine, no error no warning, after a reboot the consol show : mount error while loading shared libraries: libvolume_id.so.1: Cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. when I try to repair the system the repair tool cannot find the root partion,
I am using Centos 5.2, and I installed all of the available gnome and gnome development libraries available via the "add software" menu item. Still, when running some programs, I get the following error message:
"error while loading shared libraries: libzvt.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
If I understood it correctly, libzvt.so.2 is part of some gnome libs... where to find and how to install them?
This is a USB shared drive, with an ext3 partition. The partition is located at /dev/sdb1. I use Samba to share /media/tiga1000/samba/public, and everyone on the network can add/delete files to it. Specifically, this is our media drive, and we upload a lot of pictures to it, since me and my sister are amateur photographers. Under /public/images/camera_pictures/2010, I have 3 directories. 01_january, 02_february, and 03_march. The directory that has been corrupted is 03_march, and when I say corrupted, I mean that I cannot open it. It acts as a unknown file type that can't be opened.
Here is the file properties of it: Code: drsmall@mycroft:/media/tiga1000/samba/public/images/camera_pictures/2010$ ls -lah total 960K drwxr-xr-x 4 nobody nogroup 4.0K 2010-03-11 21:22 . drwxr-xr-x 5 nobody nogroup 4.0K 2010-02-18 20:19 .. drwxr-xr-x 14 nobody nogroup 4.0K 2010-01-31 11:57 01_january drwxr-xr-x 10 nobody nogroup 4.0K 2010-02-23 15:47 02_february -r--r--r-- 1 nobody nogroup 938K 2010-03-11 15:46 03_march
How I should go about recovering it. Somehow it lost it's directory switch. Should I unmount the drive and run fsck on it? I would like to be able to recover these images, if it is at least possible!
i have an A machine, which has an ftp server (fedora core 8) and is sharing a directory with a machine B (fedora core 8 too), which has no ftp server and nothing special on it.
When machine B try to access to shared directory,there is no problem and works perfect.But when i share a directory on machine B and try to access to it from machine A, it doesn't work. I know that something related with ftp server make sharing work for machine A, but why? or what is it? is there a program or service that i need besides of nfs and rpcbind-portmap?. I had used nfs to share directories and i used rhel 5 to test all this things and happens the same.
a lot of ubuntu apps seem to use sqlite3 to store the metadata. some noticable are firefox, shotwell and banshee.
can understand firefox keeping it separate but what if i want to share the music and photos between two users on the same machine.
i've set up a user group (call it "two") that has two users have set up a shared dir under /content/twousers set permissions chgrp & chmod & flicked the sgid bit so that everything is owned by the group.
can then run banshee (or shotwell for that matter) under the primary user (the group owner) and import data (music pictures et al).
try a second user on the same local machine and can see the directories and files - just cant see the metadata in the sqlite db.
any way to get these apps to look for their metadata in the shared directory - doesn't seem like sqlite has a distributed db node mechanism available.
is there any way of assigning a unix evironment variable to do some sort of "directory redirection" - for want of a better term - or an sqlite trigger in the db that connects to the common sqlite?
I need to share some files from my Ubuntu 10.10 box to others on my home network so I created a shared folder, right-clicked it and chose "Sharing Options", chose "Share This Folder" and then I was told that additional software is needed to enable sharing. I agreed and software was downloaded and installed. But when I clicked "Create Share" button and told Nautilus to automatically add permissions for others to access my folder, I was slapped with an error message saying "Failed to execute child process "testparm" (no such file or directory). So how to proceed and get sharing working again? I installed Samba afterwards via Synaptic and assigned the folder for sharing, but I don't see the special "arrows-both-ways" sign for this folder.
I have ubuntu 9.04 on my Virtual Machine and my host OS is Win.XP, I've installed SSH on my linux and and now, I use PuTTY on Win.XP to connect to the SSH on linux,
Now, I have a problem: When I login with "root" and run any command, I see load errors for libraries such below:
Code: vim:
I've defined a user in ubuntu and when I login with it, I have no problem in running commands!
Also, when I use "su" command in the user's session and go to the root, I have no problem again in running commands! Is it related to my linux version or distro?
I have recently installed Fedora 12 on a desktop PC and as my first experience of Linux, I am really impressed. I have now installed several packages and have reached a point where I would like to share the PC with other user (family members in the same house).My question seems so basic I am almost embarrassed to ask it but could some one explain the best way to create a local shared directory that could be used to store files accessible to everyone (e.g. music, photos, videos, documents etc.)There will be three users and as it is a family PC, they will all have full access.
Reading posts from various forums, I am little confused about what is the best way to proceed (i.e. what is Linux best practice). The simpler of the two methods is to simply make the directory using the mkdir command, followed by the chmod command to assign full access rights. Fore example if the local shared directory is called 'share'. The alternative approach assigns a group, a group administrator etc and then adds users to the group.

If I want to share a directory called /home/me, would I go to my /etc/exports file and share /home/me/* or would I share /home/me ? I am unsure of how to type this into the file.
I'm running the turnkey linux version of joomla and I need to use PHP's mail functionality to send a notification email from a page (separate from joomla content) . PHP's native stuff is rather plain and I find myself needing the functionality of PEAR. So I've installed PEAR via aptitude, but it has installed to /usr/share/php.
how do I include these files from php scripts? Firstly, the files are owned by root, the www-data user doesn't have access. It also appears that the permissions on the files may need to be modified. Some php files don't have the execute flag (shouldn't they)? I recognize the point of having a centralized location for updates and sharing, so I don't want to just copy the files to my web directory (/var/www).
In my samba configuration, I have a strange share. Share name: MyPrinter Shared folder: /var/spool/samba comment = lp read only = No print ok = Yes The spool directory /var/spool/samba has been shared as a printer. What will be the harm caused by it? (I don't know who shared such). And I also wanted to know the security issue due to it..
I would like to have a directory Code: /home/shared Where all human users have r/w permission for all files and sub-directories under this path. Can I achieve this buy just setting the permissions correctly or do I need to do something else?
Unfortunately I haven't been able to figure out yet how to share specific directories only, so I set up my Samba server to share users' home directories (which is not a security issue here since the only possible client is my other machine). My user's home directory contains a symlinked directory on another hard drive partition, which I had to explicitly share to be able to access it from the other machine. This setup has been working for months now, but for a reason that escapes me at the moment it stopped working today, presumably after samba got updated from 3.4.2-1.1.3.1 to 3.4.3-3.2.1.
The error message on the client (Windows XP/SP3) for this one above mentioned directory, and for this directory alone, is "Access denied"; I can access all other directories fine.

I want to share my /home/myname/Public/ directory with other users on my system. The problem I am having is that it seems impossible to do so. I can't use a hard link because it's a directory and I can't use a soft link because the target directory can't be found by anyone unable to read my home directory.
So far, the only solutions I can see are:
1) To move everything from my Public directory to one lower on the directory tree (something like /home/Public) and then symlink to that as /home/myname/Public and allow everyone else to do the same.
2) To use something like samba to share the folder, even if only locally.
is doable because /home and /home/myname are on the same volume but there are times on my system when that is not true (I have users with their home directories on thumbdrives and external HDDs for instance and keeping their public files on a separate volume really isn't an option).
I am running Ubuntu 9.04, and wish to share a folder to be accessed without logging in via Windows Vista. If I set up the share through the nautilus right-click menu and enable "Guest Account", the share is inaccessible. The folder shows up, but it fails to mount. Vista says that it can see the computer, but not the shared folder.
The folder is
/home/william/shared
The only way I can get it to work is if I change the permissions of the folder /home/william to allow Others to access files.
I have an ubuntu server set up in which i would like my shared media directory to be accessable with multiple usernames / passwords because I use my admisistrator username and password for samba as well, but I do not want to give out that password to all clients in my house. And, I would like to have write permissions but keep other users to read only. Is this possible or do i need to just make one separate username / password for samba sharing?
I am planning to build a server in future. That will be a computer with GNU. It will be a router and file server. It will get the VPN-Internet and share it with all the PCs connected to LAN. There will be Samba for file sharing. And I'm thinking that if I just share some directory on that server with Samba, it will be possible to get access to that dir from VPN. So it's not very safe to do that. Is it possible to prevent access to Samba dir from VPN connection?
I'm planning on setting up a home file server. I was wondering what platform would be recommended for something like this. The server would be used mainly for media storage which would be shared between an HTPC and a couple desktops and laptops. I was thinking of just getting whatever motherboard had the most SATA headers on it (which currently seems to be something P55-based) and setting up a RAID5 fakeraid with some 1.5 or 2TB drives and the OS in RAID1 with whatever drives I have laying around. It there anything flawed with this approach? P55 boards with 10 SATA headers are currently upwards of $200, which is kind of pricey. Is there a more economical route that I should consider? Also, are there any known problems with setting up a fakeraid like this using certain motherboard's SATA controllers?
