Aug 11, 2010I just created a 2nd user on my computer. I've got the hard drive that ubuntu runs on, and then a 2tb drive for media. If the 2tb is mounted on my desktop, it won't show up on his desktop even if I'm logged out. It won't show up on his unless I unmount on mine.
If I'm logged out I'm obviously not using it. So why doesn't it show up? He has all privileges. Is there a way to make this work without having to unmount?
I'm running karmic btw. If you need computer info let me know what to type into the terminal and whatnot and I'll paste it all here!

Ubuntu :: Give Two Client Users Permission To Access Their File System?
May 1, 2011The 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?
Ubuntu Servers :: Give Power Users Ability To Access All Of Their Folders Without Thrashing Security.
Feb 8, 2011So, I am looking to implement an FTP server with Isolated Client accounts/directories where a client can only access what's in their directory. I also need to provide my internal user's (content managers) the ability to upload, delete, etc from all of the Client accounts. The simple part is creating the secure client accounts. It's a matter of changing DIR_MODE in adduser.conf to 700 or 770, creating a user, having the FTP server chroot them to their home directory, revoke/restrict shell/ssh access and maybe even slap on some ACL to prevent botched permissions.The hard part is figuring out how to give my power users the ability to access all of their folders without thrashing security.
My first thought was to put all of the client user-groups in a parent group and having my internal users inherit group permissions..but you can't have groups inside of groups.My second thought was to put all of the client users in the same group and prey that the FTP chroot is enough to keep them from poking around but then I have the problem of how do my internal users access other user directories if they are chrooted. Do I create a second server without chroot.do I create some weird nested homedir structure..I honestly have no idea how to satisfy both requirements (secure client accounts and privileged user accounts). I need my privileged users to authenticate against Active Directory via Likewise open, LDAP, etc and I don't care how the clients authenticate. Though, I would prefer to have both file and FTP-server level protection just to make sure no one can see the other client's data.
Ubuntu :: USB Devices Not Mounting When Switching Users / Logging On With Different User

Jan 25, 2010I have a NAS on which I created a share with CIFS that has restricted access (that is: you need a username and password to access it). The reason is that I don't want any user in the network to mount this share.On one computer I have Bacula installed to run backups. I would Bacula to store the backups on the NAS share. So I mount the share in fstab. Works fine but the share directory is not read+write for all users but only for the root (since the mount was done for the root).The line in fstab:\readynasackup /readynas cifs user,rw,password=thePassword,username=bacula,umask=017 0 0How can I have Bacula (running as user Bacula) get read+write access to the directory representing the share?I tried to remove access control to the share but the directory representing the mount remains readonly...

CentOS 5 :: Virtualization: Dual Boot Xen And Ordinary Kernel?
Sep 1, 2010If you select "support virtualization" during install, you get the xen kernel installed.
Some things do not work with this kernel (e.g. nVidia drivers). So my question is whether it is possible to install both kernels (xen and ordinary) and select between them with grub at boot time?
I did try this a while ago, by first installing with xen and then manualy adding the ordinary kernel, but the ordinary kernel failed to boot (for reasons I don't now recall - sorry). Clearly, there must be differences in the "virtualization" build other than the kernel.
The alternative, if I want to play with virtualization, would be to have two entirely separate installations, but this seems like a waste of space when surely almost everything must be identical?
I can't find anything in the Centos Xen documentation about this.
Before I try again I would just like to check if anyone actually knows if this is possible, or if not why not?
Or can it be done with KVM?
