Ubuntu :: Vncpasswd Not Populating ~/.vnc/passwd
Sep 29, 2010
I have an account on a remote Ubuntu machine. I started the vncserver on that box, it used display number 7. From my Windows machine, I connected to the remote box on port 5907. It connected, but said, "no password configured for vncauth". I noticed that the ~/.vnc/passwd file is empty, alongwith the log file. I typed vncpasswd to set the password again, but no use. I tried vncpasswd ~/.vnc/passwd as well, but no use.The VNC server is running.

we know that /etc/passwd - is a replica of /etc/passwd file and acts as a backup in any damage done to /etc/passwd file..i have observed a strange thing in RHEL 5.4....for example... if /etc/passwd has 100 accounts.. then /etc/passwd - is having only 99 accounts....when i add 101 useraccount with "useradd" then /etc/passwd has 101 accounts and /etc/passwd is having the 100th account of /etc/passwd - ..when i delete /etc/passwd and recover it with /etc/passwd - from runlevel 1 the lastly created user is not having his account after recovery.. what is the solution? this is same case even with /etc/shadow and /etc/shadow -

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Evolution 2.28.3. I have Evolution configured to use my gmail contacts. When composing a message, entering addresses does not automatically resolve in any way. In order to use an address from my contacts, I need to click on the To: button and select contacts from the list. The list itself is fine - all my contacts are present. Is there any way to have Evolution automatically resolve email addresses as I type?

I recently ordered a vServer with Debian Etch on it and now i kind of desperate because vncpasswd just won't work. When running it, it says:Code:Password too short
The Problem is: I can't even enter one. It just prints this line and exits.What I also noticed was that after this happened I can no longer open man pages until the next reboot, as it says:
Code:
man: command exited with status 256: /usr/bin/zsoelim /tmp/zmaneFTrCR | /usr/bin/tbl | /usr/bin/nroff -mandoc -rLL=195n -rLT=195n -Tascii | /usr/bin/pager -s

Well we all know that it holds passwords. But cat-ing it gives out nothing. Not even encrypted gibberish. So how exactly is a password stored in this? Is this like a device file or something?

I recently set up a LDAP server, and have a server using it to authenticate users.
That works completely, but when a user tries to use passwd to change his password this happens.
Code:
And this is in /var/log/auth.log

I was doing some experiment about resource-accessing. By mistake, I executed this command,$ sudo mv /etc/passwd /etc/passwd.bakThen I could not execute any command with privilege(eg. sudo mv /etc/passwd.bak /etc/passwd). When I shut the system down, I could not boot it any more.

/etc/passwd permissions keep getting reset to 600. When I set it to 644 as su, it eventually changes back.This occurs on my openSuse10.2 machine but not the openSuse 11.1 machine, but I assume that is irrelevant. Is there something that got tweaked that I need to change in Yast to stop this from happening?

All servers mentioned below run OpenSuSE, either 10 or 11.I am currently working on a few scripts that are meant to be used as part of a continuous integration setup. I am trying to keep these scripts reasonably secure, and so I have made sure that all the servers run these scripts only as a specific user (user1) that has permissions to basically nothing else. The problem I am currently running into is that I need to start and stop tomcat as user1 but this user doesn't have permissions to the tomcat rectory (only tomcat has execute permissions). I have a temporary workaround in place while I work on the scripts (I have an SSH key in place that allows me to SSH from user1o tomcat without a password and execute my commands that way) but it is not very secure. I have tried adding the following line to /etc/sudoers:
Code:
tomcat localhost = NOPASSWD: /opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh, /opt/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
but it doesn't work as I expected it to. I tried a few different syntaxes for that line,

I'm running a small network of 20 PC's (slackware), I had previously used NIS and can't really be bothered with ldap it's a bit of hassle. I do not need a centralised database just a login auth system.On the server I make a folder called /sec and symlink passwd, group and shadow into it.I export this via nfs.On the workstation I create a folder /sec, move the passwd, group and shadow file into it and then symlink them back into the /etc folder.On bootup, the rc.local mounts server /sec over the top of workstation /sec. If it fails it falls back.I wasn't sure if I could just mount /sec on the workstation and then temporarily symlink group,passwd,shadow over the top of the /etc/shadow etc

we are trying to make a policy decision whether to go with SSH user/passwd or PPK secure key ? our servers are hosted remotely by a hosting service. we were wondering which of these two models are more secure.e.g. i would tend to think that user/passwd with account lockouts upon failed attempts would be more secure because the other option exposes your server in case someone sneaks the PPK file or steals your whole computer.however, what makes me doubt myself is that Amazon Web Services EC2 cloud hosting uses PPK by default (although an instance's SSH config can be change to accommodate logging in but they don't endorse it).

I need to either locate a script that is similar to what I am needing or figure out a better way of doing what I need. I have mutiple shops with AIX unix servers, using ksh with virtual terminals that connect. since these are on an internal network we have them connecting to the server as either usr01, usr02, etc. what I need to do is add 15 user's ranging from usr01-usr15 into /etc/passwd each usr is identical in such that each line contains
Code:
usr01::0:0::/usr/tops:/bin/ksh
only difference is the usr# changes. I wrote a script where I was just adding these all to the /etc/passwd but now I have been tasked with adding them to these shops but with out any duplicates. is there any way to have a script check the file to see if the usr# exists and if so proceed to the next number and then input the usr#::0:0::/usr/tops:/bin/ksh into the file?

I have a web server running Centos5 on a Xeon processor with 2GB of RAM. Whenever I try to login as a user the system hangs.If I login as root I can login without any problems. I tried changing the passwd. I can change the passwd but still not able to login as that user. I tried creating a new user. When I run the command adduser or useradd the system hangs.

I was looking around the files in /etc/ to see what they were and what they said, then I noticed there was two files called passwd, which confused me a lot for a second then I noticed one of them was actually passwd-.I compared them and they only differed by one line:
< games:36:35:added by portage for gemrb:/usr/games:/bin/bash, which was in passwd but not passwd-.Should these files both exist? If yes, why, what does having both do? If no, then its safe to say I can just delete passwd-

I have a Debian 5.0.7 installed to my server. I try to install Apache and SVN to this server. I use this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/subversion...-ubuntu-server
But is unfortunately not working.
My apache virtual host configuration file is:
Code:
This passwd file containing 1 user:
Code:
The rights for the passwd file:
Code:
And apache2 is running like this:
Code:
And if I try to login to my page I got an "Internal Server Error" page.
And my error is in the apache log is this:
Code:
So I'm a little bit confused about it. The apache2 should have rights to open this file. I checked it, the file is exist and the apache2 is have rights for it. I don't understand it.
