I am making a live CD and need to add a config file to all new users Home folder. This includes the Ubuntu user in the Live CD and New users created on install from the live CD.
Path would be: /home/ubuntu/config.file
The question is, as far as I know Ubuntu distro adds a user created with useradd to supplementary groups automatically. For instance, I want to enable sudo for all newly created users on my LiveCD and want them to be added to the group 'wheel' on creation. I'm sure it is possible to do it in Fedora, but how?

I want to be able to automatically mount users home folders on logon and store the configuration in ldap.I've done the following so far
1) added include in /etc/openldap/slapd.conf to /etc/openldap/schema/redhat/autofs.schema
# See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options.
# This file should NOT be world readable.

include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/redhat/autofs.schema

Does anyone know how I can make a program run automatically when a file appears in a particular directory? I have two computers, one to program the firmware on a microcontroller (command line only), and the other is my desktop machine running Ubuntu. I have an NFS share between the two. What I want is to be able to drop a new firmware load into the shared directory from the desktop, and have the other computer notice it and program the microcontroller with it. Right now I have to open an SSH session to the other computer, run the program manually, and then delete the file. I would like to automate all of that.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to have a directory automatically change the permissions of a file that is written to it? I have a program which saves files to a directory, and gives those files read-only permissions to members in the group. This is a problem, because other users of my computer need to be able to edit these files. The directory itself has rw permissions for group members.
I guess what I am looking for is a way for the directory permissions to "override" the permissions the program is trying to save the files as. For example, if the directory has "rw" permissions for the group, then any file saved to it will automatically get the same permissions, regardless of what the program writing the file is trying to do.
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.
I have a little problem: I have a share folder on Ubuntu server: - Dump That folder is share with SAMBA and everyone can put files on it
My problem is the following: When someone create a folder, the folder permissions are automatically set with:
(let's take my username: Yann)
Owner: Yann
Group: Yann
Clearly that's wrong.. I want the Group to be auto set has "users" so everyone can access the folders on that share. Anyone know how to change this ? chmod and chown is getting a bit boring
To back up the virtual machine, the 9Gb file needs to be split in half so that they can burn it to DVD Using lxsplit is pretty simple for me, but these people are completely terrified of a terminal. Is there a simple gui front end for lxsplit so that I can just put an icon on the desktop for them? I've looked around with no success.
Or is there a DVD burning package that splits them automatically? Brasero is on there but it doesn't seem to have that capability. This would actually be the best option, as they wouldn't have to bother with a manual split at all.

I have been searching for a few hours now trying to figure out the best way to have Ubuntu Server 8.10 copy and replace a file every week.
So for example:
File A (original file)
File B (replacement file)
I would want to copy File B from its location and replace File A each week automatically with out removing or destroying File B.
I've thought of doing a cron since I already have a job set for email piping. but I'm unsure of the best way to complete this task.
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.
When I SSH to a certain Linux host, although my default shell is tcsh, the .cshrc file under my home directory is not sourced at all. I can't understand why this happens because from my understanding, if I'm using the tcsh, the .cshrc should be sourced anyway!
