I am doing samba file sharing. I got struct in problem relating reading passwords. I have to read password whatever user enter from web interface and process it. And through that password and username the user must log on from windows system. I have to write appropriate shell script for this. this is all i am doing for sharing files through samba.
View 2 RepliesI 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 have an ubuntu server set up in which i would like my shared media directory to be accessable with multiple usernames / passwords because I use my admisistrator username and password for samba as well, but I do not want to give out that password to all clients in my house. And, I would like to have write permissions but keep other users to read only. Is this possible or do i need to just make one separate username / password for samba sharing?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've just installed 10.04 x64 and I've had some problems with samba (cifs/windows file sharing). It seems like samba is forgetting user passwords, so on every reboot I have to add a password for the user that needs access: sudo smbpasswd -a tietze
I've tried restarting samba (sudo service sbmd restart), but it does not work. I have to add a new password for the user with the command above.

I just did a clean install of Natty yesterday and have been setting it up for my children and myself. I am trying to set up desktop user accounts for them without them having to put in a password for themselves but have not been able to change this via system/administration/users and groups. Is this a bug or is this feature (turning off passwords at login) turned off in Natty?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAttempting to set up a Samba network from my SuSE 11.2 desktop to a windows laptop. Using YaST, a Samba server has been created, and allow users to share has been clicked. Identity is not a domain controller. no trusted domains have been set, and no LDAP settings have been set.
Right now, each computer can see the other over the network. When clicking on the network from windows, a window pops up requesting a user and password.
Konqueror sees both computers under smb://. It also has a window that pops up requesting user name and password. Where do I set up these user names and pass words?
I am having a problem with some users who get locked out after more than 3 failed attempts at login. This is exactly what I want to see - they will eventually remember those stronger passwords (maybe?) - but how do I re-enable their access? I haven't tried this on a live box but I can easily recreate the situation via vnc to the server in question and I assume the result would be the same. I like the policy that leads to this but I do need to let them back in - eventually. Where is the blacklist kept and how do I edit/reset it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have couple of users in one machine. I can access the /etc/passwd,/etc/shadow and /etc/group files in this box. I have another box. I want to create some user accounts in the second box by just looking in the passwd, shadow and group files in the first box. I would just copy over the corresponding lines into the corresponding for whichever accounts I want to create as new and also change the lines for which I want to update the account information. Is this possible and will also the passwords work fine? Please also let me know there is any good tool for automatically doing this kind of stuff. Both the boxes that I have are Ubuntu machines though one is running Ubuntu 8.04 and the other is 10.04.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if someone had a logical reason and therefore complete, hopefully that makes total sense, for why when I install Ubuntu I cannot use the 'sudo' command either with root or user passwords. Even if I try to edit the permissions for sudoers, I still recieve an error message that says access is denied and so as the root user on my pc I don't understand why I can't put my name in the sudoers file or use the sudo command with the correct password.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm planning to centralize users and passwords and also create controls for user access to some equipment, for example, Linux Servers, Switches, routers and firewalls. In case of failure of the link between the ACS and AD or equipment to the ACS, this device would use local username and password.
At the moment, my AD structure is a Microsoft, Cisco ACS servers and Linux Standalone. I wish that both linuxs servers and network equipment were authorized by Cisco ACS on the accounts that are in Microsoft AD.
The configuration of the Cisco ACS to use the AD is done and no problems, the network equipment is OK too, but am having difficulties configuring the server for this solution.
in bash scripting...say I want to take the input from a user via a question...I would do this:
Quote:
#!/bin/bash
echo "How large do you want this partition to be in GB (enter only the number)?" read PART_SIZE echo "You want your partition to be $PART_SIZE GB" But I don't want to echo it back to the screen, I want to add it to the content of /etc/fstab. I have been mucking around with sed to find the tmpfs partition in /etc/fstab and add the partition size attribute (this is to use the onboard RAM as a volatile partition)...but am not having any luck...
The portion of /etc/fstab that uses /dev/shm for the tmpfs partition is:
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
So, if a user says "24" GB to the answer (from above), how do I get it to automatically add that value to the tmpfs partition line in /etc/fstab? So it would look like:
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs size=24g,defaults 0 0
I understand that I would also have to come up with a way to put "size=XXg", which I could do with a copied over generic file before this action...then the script would have to find "XX" and replace it with the user's figure...
I am trying to configure linux printer Server.

Sometimes it doesn't load all of a webpage. In Firefox this results in only some of the page being displayed. In konqueror I get the "Connection to host www.page.invalid is broken" error message. The computer was doing this when running Opensuse 11.3 and continues to do it when running a clean install of Opensuse 11.4. I haven't tried a live CD of Ubuntu or something but that might be worth a go.
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.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have recently upgraded to the new ubuntu 11.04 but am having problems with the internet. Often When I try to access a website it takes a long time (5-10 minutes) to load even google, and sometimes I just get the following error message:
This web page is not available. The server at google.com can't be found because the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the web service that translates a website's name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Chromium from accessing the network.
Here are some suggestions:
- Reload this web page later.
- Check your Internet connection. Reboot any routers, modems or other network devices that you may be using.
- Check your DNS settings. Contact your network administrator if you're not sure what this means.
- Try disabling DNS prefetching by following these steps: Go to Spanner menu > Preferences > Under the Bonnet and deselect "Use DNS pre-fetching to improve page load performance".
- Try adding Chromium as a permitted programme in your firewall or antivirus software's settings. - If it is already a permitted programme, try deleting it from the list of permitted programmes and adding it again.
- If you use a proxy server, check your proxy settings or check with your network administrator to make sure that the proxy server is working.
- If you don't believe that you should be using a proxy server, try the following steps: Go to Spanner menu > Options > Under the Hood > Change proxy settings and make sure that your configuration is set to "no proxy" or "direct".
Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED): Unable to resolve the server's DNS address.
I have tried to access the internet using Chrome, Firefox, Konqueror, on the Untiy Desktop, and the Classic Desktop. I've checked my Proxy settings in Chrome (My main browser) and its set to direct internet connection. I've Disabled the UFW. I've edited the resolv.conf which initially showed:
Code:
# Generated by NetworkManager
domain HG532.com
search HG532.com
nameserver 10.0.0.1
and edited it to:
Code:
# Generated by NetworkManager
domain 10.0.0.1
search 10.0.0.1
nameserver 10.0.0.1
and even tried the Google DNS server:
Code:
# Generated by NetworkManager
domain 8.8.8.8
search 8.8.8.8
nameserver 10.0.0.1
But nothing works. It seems like When I initially log on to the internet it runs fine, but over the coarse of 10 minutes the page loading times go down then eventually I just get the above error message. There are other computers here running windows which connect through the same wireless fine.
My plan is to set up a simple webpage using no-ip. I already made an account and downloaded and configures the client. Now I want to make the actual website (hosted on my local machine). How would I do that? I assume I would need a hosting software.

So I've configured a vsftpd, ftp server and enabled the anonymous user, therefore when I do
Code:
ftp://my_location.com
a directory like view is displayed in my web browser, corresponding to /srv/ftp where the files for the anonymous account are kept. Now I've made a little web page and I've copied it there, and can be executed running main.html so the address to access the web page would be
Code:
ftp://my_location.com/main.html
My problem is that I don't want anybody to have the possibility to see the directory like display so I'm wondering if when someone does ftp://my_location.com can't this be redirected so it will do ftp://my_location.com/main.html instead?, making the display of files and directories impossible from the ftp://my_location.com
I used to have ettercap on backtrack 4 and everything was ok...But on ubuntu 10.04 I'm having this issue; it is not showing passwords (if i log in for example in a forum with a http link )and not sending false certificate (if i try to log in in https links, after uncommenting the redir ip tables in etter.conf).Other features seems to work alright (such as dns spoofing) and the arp poisonning is succesful. Besides, Wireshark gets the passwords.

there's a way to locally proxy or spoof just one web page. That is, use tsocks or hosts or something so that when I run an application that requests [URL], it receives /home/user/myversion.html, but for any other address it gets the normal page. Seems simple enough, if a little unusual... (I'm trying to work around a wget bug.)

True or False: If you have a user on your Linux/Samba machine with a password, example:
User = Bob
Password = Password0
And Bob is on an XP computer, where his username is also Bob and his password is also Password0, is it normal for Bob to go to:
\SambaServer, double click on Bob's share (valid users = Bob only) and Bob get RIGHT in without being prompted?
On my prior setup, the user HAD to log in. If they wanted auto login next time with their credentials, they had to check "remember password." But now it's as if Samba knows who they are. It's very strange. What's the normal behavior? Must EVERYBODY authenticate with passwords, or if the Windows credentials are the same as Samba does it just somehow auto-detect it and allow them through?
