Ubuntu :: Managing / Adding Users In Lucid?
May 7, 2010Basically if you go through System > Administration > Users and Groups then I do not get prompted for a password, I cannot see the root account, nor can I add/modify other accounts.
I understand that Ubuntu has now moved away from allowing the root account desktop access which is ok by me even though it's very much in line with something Apple would do. (odd that this comes right after Ubuntu went all apple style with the default theme too.) However, I would like to add other accounts to the machine, for my wife and anyone else i choose for example. Anyways, pushing the "add" button does nothing. Thankfully the "help" button did work which allowed me to do the following workaround.
I managed to get around this by working through the command prompt, open terminal:
user> sudo -i
type in your password
root> users-admin
This allows the addition of accounts, also seems it allows the root account to be enabled though I haven't bothered to test it. The one thing I'll say is that it runs VERY SLOW!
Ubuntu :: Adding Multiple Users Terminal?
Jun 1, 2010I want to add users from the command line, I know I can use the adduser for individual users, but if you have 50 or more there must be another way. I'd rather not use the GUI.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Adding SSH Users - Permissions Set Incorrectly?
Jun 14, 2010I was just trying to add new ssh users for tonight session and really messed up badly. I first installed package ibsh (iron-bars shell). I didn't know how to use it so I just went to a new user account and added ibsh at the end of his .profile. (I wrote
Code:
sudo gedit /home/username/.profile
which I suspect is the problem, I should have written
Code:
gksu gedit /home/username/.profile
??)
Well graphical logging became impossible in my own account until I did the following in my own account:
Code:
chmod 777 .profile
chmod 777 .ICEauthority
But desktop is still empty. I have restarted the system. I cannot use Firefox (it works without output for 10 sec and then dies). Chromium says something like "Problems due to not being able to update profile" but works. (I cannot see any files on desktop. But if I do places > desktop I can see them.) All the mentioned files had -------- for permissions so I did:
Code:
chmod 777 ~/Desktop/*
How to get my system back to normal. I think I got botched up permissions. If I create new user accounts, I get several error messages in these accounts.
Ubuntu :: Adding Multiple Users Using Batch File?
Oct 26, 2010Idealy I want to create a batch file which would read the list and create a user and a password.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Adding Users With Kickstart
May 2, 2010You can add a user with their password in one go, just use the -p option:
useradd -p '$1$S5P0QMGg$1RJ8yBPnDvyJ0SynNkESL1' mruser
The above password hash is for the word: password The easiest way to hash your password would be to grab it out of /etc/shadow
I am trying the same with the ks.cfg for RHEL5.4, but the users dont seem to get creted, after I login.
useradd -p <ENCRYPTE_PWD> username

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Adding Additional Users Causes Large Number Of Errors?
Jun 29, 2010I'm running 64-bit 10.04, upgraded from 9.10. The problem I am experiencing is that any user accounts aside from my main account are problematic. This includes any accounts I add, as well as the GDM guest session.The specific problems that I have thus far experienced are as follows:
1. The desktop loads often improperly. In the latest instance of this the graphics on the right side top panel were randomly chopped-up, leaving parts of my clock on either side of the volume control, among other things. 2. If I make ANY customizations to the desktop at all, the desktop takes nearly a full minute to load on log-in. 3. Flash videos don't work properly on Firefox. Sometimes they only play after refreshing a page, often they will not load at all. Also, attempting to load or play a flash video will sometimes causes Gnome or Firefox to crash. 4. (And this is the one that REALLY has me stumped) Whenever I log into my main accountant after logging out of another account, the IBus control appears in my system tray.However, when I open the IBus preferences the associated check box is (and has always remained) unchecked.Not sure where to go with this one. More than anything, the IBus bug makes me unsure of where to even begin looking for the problem.
Ubuntu Servers :: LDAP Users And Groups - Adding A User
Aug 4, 2011I have Ubuntu 10.04.2 (Linux 2.6.32-33-server on x86_64) with OpenLDAP 2.4.21 and Webmin1.550. I converted my ldap database from another system with the older style schema (OpenLDAP 2.3.3 with slightly older Webmin version 1.480) and no longer use slapd.conf, but the newer slapd.d format.
It all works fine except for one thing. When I add a new user, it lets me type in the additional LDAP fields:
But when I click the Create button, all the fields get jumbled together in the Title/Position box with a diamond question mark delimiting the fields:
Modifying existing users (which have the Additional fields displaying correctly) also has the same result - it moves the fields all into the one Title/Position box with the diamond shapes with question marks inside between each entry. Is it a problem with my schema files? I tried reverting to the older shema files and slapd.conf and it still did the same thing on the new system. I am really at a loss.
Here is also the output of ldapsearch for that user (host and samba ids are sanitized):
Previously added users that show the fields properly have "description:" and then the field listed for each Additional LDAP field. Also shouldn't the "title" be visible in plain human readable text here? - it looks like it encrypted it somehow - similar to a password hash. The older system works fine and the fields are all readable and in their proper locations. But the new system just doesn't work right.
Debian :: Adding New Users Restricted To Root

Debian :: Adding FTP Users Without Shell Access?
Dec 20, 2010I use this command line to add an FTP user:
useradd ftpuser1 -d /userdir
This works, but I don't want to give Shell access to the users.
I tried this:
useradd ftpuser1 -d /userdir -s /sbin/nologin
but then user can't login at all - not into FTP and not into Shell.
General :: Adding Users To Existing Group
Aug 26, 2010I've been asked by my professor to add the list of users to a linux server (not sure of the OS type I think he said debian) but anyway. He gave me this script to add users.
Code: #!/bin/bash
# Script to add a user to Linux system
if [ $(id -u) -eq 0 ]; then
read -p "Enter username : " username
read -s -p "Enter password : " password
egrep "^$username" /etc/passwd >/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "$username exists!"
exit 1
else
pass=$(perl -e 'print crypt($ARGV[0], "password")' $password)
useradd -m -p $pass $username
[ $? -eq 0 ] && echo "User has been added to system!" || echo "Failed to add a user!"
fi
else
echo "Only root may add a user to the system"
exit 2
fi
I need to see if I can get this script to read a file that list the usernames and their passwords using the pipe command (or some similar command) so I can just do it in one batch. I've done some searching but there are so many vairiations of the code that I've confused myself. Also, I'm not too familiar with linux, it's been a few years since I've used it but in the prior script, I need to add the users to an existing group named "forensics". Which line would I change/add in order to do this?

View 6 Replies View RelatedServer :: Adding LDAP People Entries That Are Not Users
Jan 22, 2010I currently have an LDAP database on my Suse 10.2 server for managing authentication and controlling emails for my Cyrus email server. I use this setup to provide email functionality to my web and email hosting clients, as well as DNS functionality, and it uses the default LDAP database that was setup when OpenLDAP was initially configured. Email support is working wonderfully, I might add. I also tested and verified the use of an email lookup directory in two different email clients (Outlook and Evolution) so that I can tell one of my clients how to lookup the email address of users who are setup in the LDAP server, and it works beautifully.
However, I'd also like to be able to allow my clients to build a shared contact database that can also be used in their email clients so that they can share them among all of their users. Ideally, I would need to be able to allow each client to have their own database of shared contacts, and I assume this would be done by creating a new LDAP database for each client company (i.e. group of users) that can contain the list of shared contacts for any of that client's users. When they configure their email client directory settings, they would enter the base path to their database in order to retrieve their shared contact database entries.
In my web searches, I've found plenty of CRM solutions on the web that claim to provide this type of functionality, but I believe that OpenLDAP contains everything I need to make this work without adding another layer of software to the server solution. (I subscribe to the "Keep it Simple, Stupid!" approach whenever possible.) Essentially, I need to have People entries in a client's LDAP database that are NOT email users on the system. The fields in the standard people schema are all the fields they would need - as long as I can figure out how best to add these non-user entries in the LDAP database. Are there any potential difficulties in creating additional LDAP databases expressly for this purpose?
Are there any tricks to adding contact entries into a client's LDAP database without them also being current email users on the server, so that those entries can be retrieved through an Email Client directory lookup? I will also want to provide an easy method for my client users to add new entries to their LDAP contact database, most likely through a web interface for them that could then issue LDAP commands on the server based on the input fields for the new contact. (I don't believe this is possible from within the email client itself.) Is there any reason this could not be done with the proper configuration? What should I be aware of as I setup this contact management web interface? Is there a better way for non-technical client users to manage this list of shared contacts?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Create A Directory That Can Be Written To By Multiple Users
Feb 6, 2010I have a small ubuntu server setup and I would like to create a directory that can be written to by a select number of users. I have a backup directory setup and I want to enable my account as well as three others to be able to read/write to that directory. So far I haven't had any luck.
The owner of the backups folder, a directory on a separate disk mounted under /srv/storage, was owned by root and under the root group. I added the group backups and then changed the backups directory group to backups. I then used chown to change the backups directory to 775 to enable group members to write to it. I then tried to touch a file in the backups folder but no such luck. I did notice that when I run groups, my user account isn't shown as belonging to backups but is shown under the /etc/group file. I even made sure the GID of backups is in fact below 1000.
Anyone have an idea on how to create a shared directory that everyone can create, modify and delete any file? I believe my problem is related to the fact that root is the owner of the backups directory.
