Ubuntu :: Accidentally Deleted An Admin User Account?
Aug 9, 2011I had two accounts. One was an admin and I set the other as an admin as well, but left it without a password since I wanted the new user to enter it themselves. I went into the new admin account and deleted the old, passworded one.
However, this new account doesn't have a password that I explicitly defined on it. How do I change that? The account is the only one and still 'disabled'.

Ubuntu :: User Account Control And User Rights Assignment?
Sep 29, 2010I have a user account which is required to run as part of the operating system and as a service. I am currently attempting to install my companies software on an Ubuntu desktop via wine just for the purpose of finding out if it's do-able.
Is there a way, in Ubuntu, for a user account to be given the local rights assignment to act as part of the operating system and to function as a service in the background?
Server :: Rsync Using Www As User Gives Ssh Error - User Www Not Allowed Because Account Locked
Feb 11, 2011Apache is run as www as is all the files/folders. People are uploading via FTP, scp, so the problem is if I chmod so everyone can read, then rsync as a user it works until new files are added which then my ; if rsync fails with a permission denied. Now I can add a chmod in the script so everyone can read, but since www can already read, I figured I would just change my script to use www. I added the ssh key to his authorized_keys file, but when I try to just ssh in I see this in the secure file;
server sshd[29539]: User www not allowed because account is locked
sshd[29539]: Failed none for invalid user www from ip port 54983 ssh2
Now I read a few places already saying I need to add a password to the account, etc. but before I jump and try all I read, 1st major one, will this now break apache? Will this affect any startup things, etc. and .... will that unlock that user for ssh in or is there another preferred method?

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: 'gdm' User Does Not Exist
Oct 3, 2010I installed Ubuntu 9 on my kids' computer a while back and usually the computer boots up and goes directly into Ubuntu. However, this morning when they booted it up, the following error message displayed: "The GDM user 'gdm' does not exist. Please correct GDM configuration and restart GDM." It seems that they had inadvertently messed up some configuration files. After pressing 'OK' it asked me for my user name and password, which I supplied, but that didn't work either. So, either I've forgotten my password or my kids seriously messed up their computer, so much so that I can even work with it in command line. I was thinking about simply reinstalling Ubuntu and possibly updating to version 10, but I'd rather not lose the files on the computer. Thus my question: Does anyone see a way of not losing my and my kids' files while getting back into Ubuntu?

Aug 24, 2010I recently installed likewise 6.0 on a Ubuntu 10.04 box and I was able to login as a Domain user. However my domain user account is not showing on the "User Settings" panel (I can only see locally created accounts).

Does anyone know a way around this?
Debian Configuration :: NIS User Not Allowed Because Shell Does Not Exist
May 6, 2011I have two machines running SQUEEZE, both installed and configured within the same week (not simultaneously). Both get the users info from a NIS server. In one of the machines (named "corona"), users cannot login, neither locally nor by ssh, in the other one ("xxlager") there is no problem. Both mount the users home directories by NFS. I have not found much useful info in the web. /etc/passwd, /etc/group/, /etc/shadow, are equally configured. The only difference I have found is when I use getent. Using "getent passwd isaenz" on xxlager yields:
isaenz:x:1001:1001:User Name,,,:/home/isaenz:/bin/tcsh
but on corona the result is
isaenz:x:1001:1001:User Name,,,:/home/isaenz:
so the shell info is empty.
Checking /var/log/auth.log I see a message saying:
"User isaenz not allowed because shell does not exist"
But "ypmatch isaenz passwd" returns complete information for isaenz, both on xxlager and corona.

Oct 20, 2010I tried to add a samba user account on an Ubuntu machine called "video" like I had on another Ubuntu machine, but it's telling me it already exists. At one point I had added the user via terminal, but the user did not show up in system-config-samba (the popular samba gui a lot of people use). So now I'm trying to re-add him and it's not working. Likewise, if I use terminal to sudo smbpasswd -x video, it says failed to find an entry for that user.
As far as I can tell, the user doesn't exist - yet I can't add him because it "already exists."

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Query Died: Fusername: Table 'rsmembers.User' Doesn't Exist
Nov 5, 2010I just purchased a new server and loaded it with Ubunut server 10. I installed apache2, php5, and mysql5. apache needs a little bit of configuration left (I need to tell it to accept index.php in addition to index.html), but other than that, all the php is working. MySQL is working as well, at least on the server. If I do a "show databases;", it shows all the databases properly. I loaded phpmyadmin on the server for testing, but I'll be removing it once everything works - this is my production server. phpMyAdmin can find all the tables, perform successful queries, and do everything I want it to, HOWEVER If I try to use the login page, I get the error mentioned in the title of this thread.
The database is a carbon copy from my development server, which works flawlessly. All the php and html pages are exactly as they are on the development server too, yet I still get that error. I've reloaded all pertinent programs (apparmor, apache2, and mysql). Apparmor was because I had to declare some new lines for mysql to access a different location for the DBs I resolved the "can't load InnoDB issue", but this one is stumping me.
General :: Send Mail From Domain As A User That Does Not Exist As Well As Email From Other Non-existent Domains
Jul 31, 2010I have a server with a static IP that I use as a sendmail server. The problem is that port 25 is exposed. As a result, anybody can login to the SMTP server and send mail from my domain as a user that does not exist as well as email from other non-existant domains. I'm sure there are sendmail options that I can enable to do some checks, like if the user exists on that server or if the domain is the same on the server, etc. I was wondering if you guys can mention a few that I can add to my sendmail.mc file?
I have thought about auth login, the problem is if auth login is on my public port then I won't be able to receive email from gmail because it would be unauthenticated. Also, I only have 1 mail server. I know the ideal solution is to have 2 mail servers. One for outgoing mail/internal mail server where you can enable auth login and the other for incoming mail which just acts as the relay to the internal mail server. That way spammers can't login to send mail out. That's another question I had, how do I configure sendmail to only send email out/in?
Anyhow, so I have to make do with 1 mail server for now. So I decided to add a few rules on iptables. I grabbed the IP range that gmail uses when I receive mail from then and added it to my iptables with the following command.
