I would like to know how to link linux users to have their windows folder (on fileserver) into linux..I have a windows fileserver which hosts AD users home (personal) folder.I also have linux (redhat) with SAMBA. users have their home folder in linux but also want to access their home folder in windows. Is there any solution which automatically creates links in linux home folder, when a user logs into linux he can also view / edit his files in windows home folder.I know to smbmount but there are 500+ users and creating smbmount / smbclient for each would be time consuming also many of the users are dynamic (added / deleted frequently).

Having set up many windows servers with complex permissions on shared folders, I now have to do the same in Linux (and I'm such a noob to Linux) I understand that each file/folder is assigned a user + group, and that the rights can be set for the user, the group and global (aka everybody else) My challenge is this, inside my shared folder there is a folder that should be RW to some users, READ ONLY to others, and not accessible at all to the rest of the users. (lets call the folder MyFolder ) All 3 groups have more than 1 user, so they have to be groups (right?) How would this model work in Linux ? If there is no other way, I guess I can nest the MyFolder in a folder that has permissions to allow all users that may access MyFolder, and block the rest, then on MyFolder, set owner group the RW users, and set global to READ ONLY.
Ps : The server I'm setting up runs Debian Lenny, files will be accessed from windows workstations using samba.

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 need a shell script that will add the users name and date to a file when the user has modified the file, these files are within a group and only accessible to this group. But we need a way for people in the group to know who and when the file was last modified.

I am now trying to setup a VSFTP server where local users can upload files to there home directory so that Apache can serve web pages straight from the directories of system user home/accounts giving users the ability to run their own web sites which are hosted off the main server [tutorial here: [url]
So far i have been able to serve/display index.html files from the users home directory [url] but so far i cant upload files to any user home directory, every time i try to upload a file with filezilla i get this error message: 553 Could not create file. Critical file transfer error
I have searched online for similar problems like mine and so far i've tried alot of the solution but none seem to work. I'm confused, dont know where i went wrong, i put the users in a group called ftpusers and here are the permissions on the users (test, ftpuser & testftp) home directory. have a look an tell me where i went wrong :(
Also the root directory where the web pages are served from is called public_html here are the permissions
Here is my vsftp.conf file can someone check it to see if i made any errors in there:
I have an issue with users logging into a server. There are multiple (5 or so) database admins that have to log into a windows 2003 server and from there log into a red hat server. Once they are in the rhel box they execute an app (let's say xclock) that gives them an xwindows session on their desktop. Currently only one person can do this at a time, but they have asked me to configure it to allow multiple users to log into the red hat box from the windows server and run an xwindow.

The mail server is not on my local LAN, and all the primary users are roaming. They connect via TLS auth, which is required to make a sendmail connection to my server. I could whitelist all addresses in my domain, but then anyone spoofing my email wouldn't be seen as spam. How do I simply tell amavis-new and/or sendmail not to spam scan TLS authenticated users?
Is it possible to forbid that more then one user open the same file in rw mode? In windows when you open a file that another user is using, there's ad advise and you have to open it in read only mode
I installed ubuntu 10.04 desktop edition on 3 pc (there is not a server-client architecture). I installed samba.(and smbfs)
put the strings:
[name]
comment = ...
path = /...
guest ok = yes
read only = no
create mask = 0777
directory mask =0777
Computers that access to that directory do (on boot, with root privileges)
mount -t smbfs -o username="user",password="pass" //192.168.0.12/name /mnt/cartelladimontaggio
But if two users access to the same file, both are authorized writing on it! So changes made by one are lost when the other save.
I have a jar file which runs as the server with a GUI in my machine and if that starts up i can control my machine with the client in my android phone through LAN. Manually everything works fine if i login and start the server.
What I want to do
1) The server(jar file) should be started at boot
2) This should be available to all users irrespective of who is logged in and if multiple users are logged in simultaneously.
What I have already tried
1) I have tried to add this to the Startup Applications but it does not work always due to some reason after switching between users but even if it works thats not the solution i need because these settings are for a specific user and works after login
2) I tried adding this to rc.local file, but does not work when i login with any user, not sure why. I also tried putting them into all the runlevels (rc*.d folders), but nothing seems to be working. I am not quite sure if i understand how these methods work but when i did boot the server was not there.
3) Manually if i run the jar and switches the user with the first user still logged in, then the server is as good as not running for the second, but if i try to run the jar again, it fails because there is already a process which is running but for first user. If I switch back to first user i have the server.
The Files
1) I have the jar file to execute in /usr/local/bin/
2) I have a shell script in /etc/init.d/ which executes the java - jar command
3) I have the links to rc*.d for all runlevels for the above script
Nothing in the above seems to be working. I just need one process running for all the users, but i never could see the server starting on startup. If I manually start the server its only available to the user who started it.
where are the "System Log Viewer" config files stored? I know most have been moved into /var/rsyslog.d/ folder but where are the users config file stored? I restored my local /home to a fresh install and the Log viewer is looking for log files from the OLD install.
So there must be a config file somewhere in /home/$user that the system log viewer is reading from as well as the rsyslog.d folder...
Idealy I want to create a batch file which would read the list and create a user and a password.
I know i need to create the file using the vi command and using the useradd facility to add the users however where i go from there i am lost.
I want to automatically allow all users read execute or write permissions on everything created by a specific user, is this possible? For example user Wendy creates an office doc, saves it on a shared folder. Then another user (usually windows log into this folder and wants to edit this file and cannot.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe desktop computer of my two children has a total of three users:
1) The superuser (me)
2) The user 1001 (my elder son)
3) The user 1002 (my younger son)
Both users 1001 and 1002 can not access their files system, and also they can not save any attachments from incoming mails.
What I tried so far:
I accessed the file manager as superuser, and went: >Root>Home. Here I right-clicked on the folder User 1001, selected properties, selected the tab 'permissions' and allowed this user to read and write into this folder. I also checked the checkbox �extend this permission to all subfolders and its contents.
The problem is, when I reboot, everything is 'forgotten' and I am at quadrant zero again.
Eventually I should state that part of the folders are from a backup drive, because the hard disk had to be replaced so, once I re-installed the OS on the new hard drive, I copied the folders from the backup drive into the home folder.
One last question:
Is there a good tutorial about permissions?
I need do a small interfaz, it works under bash. I read the user name and password from the terminal then i need validate this data.
My principal dude is:
how look in the /etc/passwd file a user and passwd?
The problem is the password is encrypted and i need compare with the data I read.
Only I can use BASH because it is school homework.

View 2 Replies View Relatedthis directory has permissions 750 and is owned by user1 and group user1 I have an admin user that is primarily a part of group admin, but also a part of group user1 what would stop admin from having read and execute permissions on this directory? I'm running clamav and have a clamd daemon running as user admin (I could run it as any user, and I may make a special user later, but I don't want to run it as user1, user2, etc).
I have 2 (technically lots more, but let's just say 2 for now) users, user1 and user2 that have home directories /home/user1 and /home/user2. each is owned and group owned by user1:user1 and user2:user2 respectively with permissions of 750. my admin user is part of groups admin, user1, and user2 I need this to be able to scan my user's directories using the command (is this correct?):
clamdscan --move=/files/quarantine/ --config-file=/etc/clamd.d/adm.conf /home/user1/file
doing this gives the error:
/home/user1/file: lstat() failed. ERROR
If I change the directory permissions to 755, it works fine.Or if I leave the permissions 750 and change the directory group ownership to admin, it works fine. So, why would this be? Obviously it is a permissions issue, but why is it not reading admin as part of the user1 group and allowing the same permissions as it does when making the directory group-owned by admin?
I have a MP3 player which is owned by Root. I have tried the following: in terminal - chown as both my usual log-in and root operation not permitted. I ran chown as both su, root, and myself. In Nautilus - I can't change any of the file attributes again opening it as any of the users above. I used to be able to copy files over to the MP3 player but not the Sandisk but not I can't copy or do anything to the files on both.

I've seen two solutions, but neither are satisfactory:Chrooting a directory that the script is in, but this requires that all the necessary php libraries/files are moved/copied into the right place relative to the chroot directory. I don't feel that I have the technical ability to achieve this.Putting php into safe mode and disabling *nasty* php functions. But this is ineffective if just one obscure *bad* php function is missed.
