View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Root User Directory Does Not Exist, Root Password Not Recognised?
Oct 26, 2010I no longer have access to my root desktop. On a session I attempted to change the root username but i apparently assigned it a wrong directory that does not exist. When I rebooted with my new root username, i was instead recognised as a simple user (no root privileges). I tried the console to change to "old" root but root password is not accepted and there is no way to access to sudoer files. it seems that inserting a new username requires root privileges and i am back to square one. Simply logging with old root username and password after restart gives me a blank screen with nothing on it and cannot even reboot.

Jan 21, 2010Prelude: OpenSUSE 11.2 (2.6.31.8-0.1-desktop), installed Novell client 2.0 SP2 (novell-client-2.0-sp2-sle11-i586.iso).
I found that if any usual user is logged into a NDS-tree, then _local_ root has full access to user's network shares, including the user's home directory located on remote Netware-server. Is it by design or
have I missed something? Nevertheless in windows local admin has no access to network resources mounted of any other user. If you runas shell (as admin) then admin in principle can't "see" network shares which were mounted (connected) by other users - they are accessible ("visible") per session.

Ubuntu :: Hangs Up When Creating LVM Snapshot Of /root Volume?
Aug 14, 2010Recently, I've tried to create a snapshot of my /root folder in 10.04 (I remember to have done so a couple of times without trouble).I used the commandHTML Code: Code: lvcreate -L10G -s -n rootsnapshot /dev/server/root Without a hint of HDD activity, Gnome (?) hangs up - I can move the mouse, and the clock is moving on, but I can't click on anything. No HDD activity, and this goes on forever (after a while, the whole system locks up). This happens each time when I try to create a snapshot.
View 3 Replies View RelatedServer :: Creating A Fake ROOT DNS?
Mar 31, 2010how to set up a fake ROOT dns that I would be using inside my virtual test environment with private address range. Basically, I want to create a ROOT server that will only contain information to two separate dns servers that are authoritative for its respective domains/zones.
I can't seem to find anything on the net about this subject. Basically, how is a ROOT server configured and how should the fake hint-file for authoritative dns-servers be configured?
I want basically domain.xx and domain.yy to be able "find eachother" by using response from ROOT server. I know I could set up forwarders to respective domain on each of the virtual DNS server instead, but I want to experiment a bit the way I stated above - with a "real" (fake) ROOT server, if it is possible!

Ubuntu Installation :: Creating More Than On User During Or Right After Install
Mar 15, 2011I have a requirement to create more than one user (one initial user with sudoer privs and one "user" user that has no special privs) upon installation of xubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 (doesn't matter). My goal is to create a "automatic" installation process with as little user interaction as possible through use of preseeding and remastersys so that all the programs and their configurations are set upon first boot. If this is not possible, (which I don't believe it is, but it's Linux!) then I think I can make use of a bash script that will run on first boot of the operating system and then delete itself so that it does not run again. My questions are:
* Is there anyway to create more than one user upon or during installation?
* If no to the above, how would I go about making a bash script that runs on first boot and deletes itself after being ran?
Software :: Creating A Tmpfs Without Root Privileges?
Mar 14, 2010I've grown rather fond lately of creating tmpfs here and there to speed up various activities. (I think it is awesome that RAM can be mounted to a directory!) The downside though, is that this requires root privileges. I don't really like this because then I either have to go root each time I want a tmpfs, or I have to add a new line to fstab each time I want a tmpfs in some new, odd place. (This becomes doubly weird when the odd place is somewhere like inside my personal home directory.) Is there some other utility out there that can mount RAM as a filesystem, but allow mounting to be done without root privileges? It seems like this shouldn't be an issue, since a normal user has the ability to create and manipulate directories as well as borrow as much RAM as he wants.

I am aware of the risk involed in creating a root account.
