Ubuntu :: Unable To Get Group Passwords To Work At All In 10.4?
Sep 29, 2010
I am unable to get group passwords to work at all in 10.4. I set the password for the group and try to `newgrp` in to it, the prompt asks for the password, but always gives me permission denied (even though its set to allow this..": x :"). Is this just not fully supported?
Next, after using `sudo gpasswd -A usr grp`, the user becomes an admin of the group, he can add/remove users only for that grp, but is not a "member". How would I find out who are admins of groups? I have tried `groups`, looking in /etc/group and theres nothing, the user does't even look like hes associated with the group at all.

I am running an Ubuntu 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit machine and I have set up an SSH between them and for whatever reason the passwords won't work; I receive the following error when trying to log on from either computer..I own both of the computers so I have full reign over them, so I'm assuming it should be an easy fix but I'm not sure about what to do.

I wonder if it is possible to have two passwords for one user account in 9.10. I have a long login password (5 words about 45 characters with spaces caps). I would like to set a shorter password for Authentication, sudo, etc. While retaining the original for logging in.In short:Have long password to login to computer.Have short password for everything after login.

I downloaded and installed hundreds of KDE and GNOME programs yesterday evening. A password was called for and rejected because it was too short. A new password was provided but it was not written down or saved on anything. I am now locked out of linux for want of a working passwd.There is a way to recover a lost password. Would someone please tell me what it is? I do not want to have to re-install everything again.

I have recently installed openldap on a server to use for authentication but I'm unable to get SHA/SSHA password hashes to work. I'm able to authenticate against it when the user have a CRYPT password. We had an old badly maintained openldap server that SHA worked on so I ran slapcat on that one and built that database on the new openldap server and was able to authenticate with SHA hashed passwords. So I'm quite confident that my slapd.conf works.
I suppose it's something in the ldif file I use to setup the database that is missing but I can't figure out what. It's quite large and I don't really know what parts of it would be relevant.

My Mythweb is asking for authentication but none username/password will work. It just prompts for authentication over and over again. I've found few configurations regarding authentication:
in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf I have following lines:
<Directory "/var/www/mythweb">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AuthType Basic
AuthName "MythTV"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/httpd-passwords
require user user1 user2
[Code]...
none of the username/paswd pairs in Authuserfile are working? Can there be yet another file / configuraton somewhere? How do I know which one apache is using right now?

I'm running Kubuntu 10.10 and for some reason I can't use tabbed windows. The options for tabbed windows appear to be configured correctly in KDE Settings, but the window menus don't have the option to group windows and the middle click drag doesn't do anything. I use the Bespin window theme, but I switched briefly to Oxygen and had the same problem.

my problem is that apache home directories are open by just address like this [URL] whose home directory is "/home/user" but not work for those user which are in particular group.
e.g. john is in group class whose home directory is "/home/class/john" if we set all permission 777 or whatever maybe with extra "chcon -R -h -t http_sys_content_t public_html/" its not working.

Well, this is a problem that keeps on coming, and I never found a solution: Maybe it is just me misunderstanding how it should work, but:
1) do you confirm that, as a member of the group "fuse", I should be able to read the file?
2) of course, I could change the permission of the file, or read it as sudo, but sometimes this is not possible. how to achieve it then?

Code:
# Create a directory, and user, assign ownership of dir to that user and usergroup.
sudo mkdir /mysecureddir
sudo useradd mysecureduser
sudo chown mysecureduser:mysecureduser /mysecureddir
[code].....
I've read some similar issues dealing with apache, but its still not clicking for me. Group has rwx access to directory and everything in it. I'm in the group.

How can I create a user group that restricts Internet privileges to only members in the group, then I will assigns certain applications to join the group for access to the Internet.
For example, I want only group net to have access to the Internet. Group net is then connected to:
Code:
So far, I am using the gnome group policy manager that is standard with ubuntu but Its not working. It is possible that im misdirected and that I should use a firewall instead?

I have winbind Active Directory authentication set up on my laptop. AD authentication works like a charm, passwords cache, etc. I can use sudo with no problem. However, I cannot use the root account -no matter what I set the root password to, the system will not take it. I also have a couple of normal system users (not winbind), and no matter what I set their passwords to, I cannot login.

I've been tasked with fixing a Red Hat system that dies with a kernel panic during the boot stage:
Code:
EXT3-fserror (dev sda1): ext3_check_descriptors: Inode bitmap for group 4 not in group (block 67239937)!
EXT3-fs: group descriptors corrupted!
mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as ext3: Invalid argument
I can boot into a Rescue CD, but I'm a bit out of my element because I don't use EXT3 myself, and I've never had to repair a corrupted file system before.

I have a group (GROUP) with a number of users. I recently added a new user (NEW). NEW is able to read but not write group files, whereas all the other users in the group can read and write to the group files. The permissions for the group files indicate that all members of group should have write permission -rwxrwxr-x
/etc/group indicates that NEW is a member of GROUP
...
GROUP:x:501:GROUP,OLD,OLD2,OLD3,OLD4,....,NEW
[code]....
Don't know if it matters, but both OLD and NEW write to the GROUP files over an internet connection. why NEW can't write to GROUP files? Is there a maximum number of members in a group that I might have exceeded?

I need to create a group that has the same permissions as the users group. Can I have the new group be a member of the "users" group to inherit its permissions?

I have a number of users, categorised into various groups. I would like one of those groups ("developers") to be in the wheel group as well. I don't want to just copy the people from the developers group into wheel, because then when that group changes I'll have to change it in two places. Is there a way to specify that anyone in developers is in wheel, and have that be dynamic?

I got this error message when installing Fedora 11 by an installlation DVD (download from [URL]) Unable to read group information from repositories. This is a problem with the generation of your install tree. This error message appeared after the step that the installer asked me to choose where to install boot loader and configure the GRUB boot menu. The error message came with two button: [Retry] and [Exit installer].

I already know "what" my problem is, however I am having difficulty fixing it. I recently upgraded our companies server to a HP ML150; decided to upgrade to FC10 hoping it would go smooth and it is not. It does not detect the SATA drives after the installation.
I get.
"Volume Group "VOLGroup00" not found
Unable to access resume device (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01
mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as ext3: No such file or directory
I know the problem is that my SATA is not enabled in the kernel or grub, but I don't know how to fix this. My internet searches are coming up a little short and LIVE discs are not working so I am having trouble figuring this out.

A bit of an oddity that I've recently run into with my storage folder in my system; it's a newly installed drive that I've set to mount at /storage. When I first tried to use it, programs that I used that attempted to write to it tossed Access Denied errors at me in their own way. Checking the permissions (at the Terminal, ls -l / | grep storage) showed that /storage was set to 'rwxrwxr--'--Owner and Group were given full read/write/execute, but Others could only read. However, my logon to my system is a member of group root. Why, then, with the above bits set, would I not be able to write to it? Changing Others permissions to rwx (and presumably rw would have worked out for me since I don't leave anything executable there) allowed me to write to it, but I don't understand why that would have been necessary. So far as I'm aware, the prior drive that was in my system--mounted at the same location--did not need this treatment.

Is it possible to allow a group/user to execute a command, where one of the parameters of the command is a group as well? example that does not work as intended:
Code:
Cmnd_alias SU=/bin/su -l %group1 This example works sortof, it treats the "%group1" literally. I know I can list out the "/bin/su -l <eachuser>", but as you can imagine that is impractical. In this example, I want people in group2(not shown for brevity sake) to be able to su to someone in group1
