Ubuntu :: Creating A New User Account In 9.10 ?

Feb 3, 2010

I recently created a new user account in ubuntu linux, and created a file called xsession so that I can boot directly into xmbc when I log into that account. Is there anyway to delete the home folder for that account. I can view the file but when I try to delete it is says I do not have apporite permisions to delete the file.

I removed the account and deleted the group but it still shows up when I type in the address /home/xmbc

Is there anyway I can delete this file. It also will not let me create any new user accounts is there any way I can fix these prolbems without totaly reinstalling the system.

Ubuntu :: User Account Control And User Rights Assignment?

Sep 29, 2010

I 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, 2011

Apache 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?

Ubuntu Security :: Remotely Creating A Desktop Account On Another System?

Mar 25, 2010

I am at my own desktop and I have root access on my own desktop.

I also have root access on a Desktop Ubuntu system (192.168.5.10) on the LAN. I need to create another desktop user account on that 192.168.5.10 system.

So I logged into that system with: ssh -Y myself@192.168.5.10
Then I did: sudo users-admin

This brings up the Users Settings but the Add User and Unlock buttons are disabled. How do I enable these buttons?

Slackware :: Creating A Salix Root Account?

Oct 25, 2010

I am an experienced Linux user, but have never used Salix before. I have a root account set up on my other Linux distros, but can not figure it out using Salix. The reason I want a root account in Salix because I believe in freedom of choice, and my choice always was and always will be to have a root account set up so I can login as root. I am aware of the risk involed in creating a root account.

Server :: Creating Qmail Auto Responder For One Account?

Dec 29, 2010

I have a qmail server running, I want to create an autoreponder for one of my accounts using the autorepond for qmail, and I did that the problem is that I receive a very strange response

-It writes the subject inside the message.
-It writes the From inside the message.
-It does not show HTML when it append the original message.

So I want to have my subject written in the mail subject instead of RE:. Also I want to be able to show HTML inside the auto replay mail.

This is my .qmail file:
Code:
/home/vpopmail/domains/XXXXXXXX.com/freestuff/Maildir/
| /usr/bin/autorespond 86400 3 /home/vpopmail/domains/XXXXXXXX.com/freestuff/vacation/message /home/vpopmail/domains/XXXXXXX.com/freestuff/vacation

This is the replay I receive after I have removed the From and Subject from the message as you can see in the message file.
Code:
Thanks for entering our Free Stuff competition.
We've got lots of fantastic free stuff to give away every week on www.XXXXXXX.com so stay tuned!
All the best!

Original Message
With the Subject : RE: test
Also the HTML in the original message does not appear
I have read that you should write the header in the message file but also does not work, it send them with the auto replay.

Ubuntu :: Domain User Account Not Showing On "User Settings" Panel / Way Around This

Aug 24, 2010

I 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). And if try to change login shell by typing "chsh", then it tells me user "DOMAINusername" does not exist in /etc/passwd.

Does anyone know a way around this?

Ubuntu :: Cannot Add Samba User Account

Oct 20, 2010

I 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."

Ubuntu :: Use The Backup User Account?

Jul 19, 2011

So I was creating a backup user on my Ubuntu machine, and realized that there was already one there. I wanted to have a user account that only had permission to scp data archives to my backup directory. Is there already a mechanism in place via this backup user to do just that? Or does this account have other uses and should be left alone?

Ubuntu :: How To Delete Or Reset User Account

May 2, 2010

Ever since I upgraded from karmic to lucid my user account has been really buggy. The other profiles on the computer are acting normal but I believe mine is acting strangely because of the way I had my desktop set up before I upgraded (conky and a terminal on my desktop, compiz). Is there a way to reset my account to the default settings? I figured if I could delete my account and recreate it everything would be okay but I can not delete the account.

Ubuntu :: Root User Account Is All Messed Up?

Oct 8, 2010

A while back I don't know what I did but I messed up my root user account and now the password that I think is supposed to be for the account doesn't work anymore.In an attempt to fix it I rebooted and went into recovery mode and then edited the sudoers file. This appears to have been good enough to be me by but now I'm running into problems installing or changing configurations in gnome. For example, I just installed Asterisk via the terminal the other day and had no problems because I could use sudo. But just now I tried installing Gastman via the Ubuntu Software Center and of course it asked for the root password.I entered my usual root password when I use sudo and it doesn't work.

I then went to the terminal and entered sudo apt-get install gastman and it worked fine becuase I used my sudo password for my account. So it seems I can do things just fine via the terminal but when in gnome it doesn't work. I went into the Users and Groups section in Gnome to attempt to set or change the root password but of course I have to unlock the application which requires the root password.
