I have CentOS 5.1, and I can create a new user to be added to the wheel, however it will not let me login directly through SSH.
The only way I can login as that user is to su - from the root account. I have checked, and the user is added to the wheel, and it does recognize the password when I su -.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? Is there some mundane step I missed?
How do you create a user and group in Centos?
useradd says command not found.
info on user preferences when buying a VPS for running CentOS.
Feel free to PM me if you do not want your answers to be publicly displayed.
When you are buying a VPS to run CentOS:
1. Do you want to install the operating system on it or do you want it pre-installed with defaults?
2. Do you want the server to run Gnome desktop or is SSH access enough?
3. If you have it running a desktop, is accessing it using VNC over an SSH tunnel connection acceptable or do you need some other way to access the GUI?
I thought I knew enough about my .htaccess stuff to do this, but I can't seem to work it out. What I want to do is if a user visits domain.com/folder, we check to see if the folder exists. If so, show as normal (IE domain.com/support)
If a user visits domain.com/dynamicusername (dynamicusername is not a physical folder), redirect to dynamicusername.domain.com
What is the difference between CentOs 5.0 and Centos 4.5? (Both contains Plesk)
Would CentOS 5 contain more updates and fixes? CentOS 4.5 be more stable?
when I find the subscription from the admin side of PPA, if I select "Login as user" I've noticed that it is different from actually logging in as the user - for example - "add domain alias" is missing when I login as a customer - but not as an admin... I need my customers to add their own aliases and manage them - how do I add that feature to the client login side?

use "nobody" is using 2much cpu on my server ... can someone explain me how is this possible ?

I already have checked
"Prevent the user "nobody" from sending out mail to remote addresses (PHP and CGI scripts generally run as nobody if you are not using PHPSuexec and Suexec respectively.)"
In tweak settings.
when I run top command I should see who user are running and I see only my root and no body

and I can't know who are runing in my server
which user should i use when you doing work on the server? I've been login as root when i need to do work on the server (i know this is really bad.)
Should i create another user to ssh in and when i need to do crital stuff i will use su ?
What groupid should i set this user to?
I am currently looking for a new IP KVM. Right now I use a mix of HP and Raritan KVMs and I'm honestly not super happy with either of them. The main feature I'm looking for is the ability to setup multiple users and only allow them to access certain ports/devices on the KVM.
What would be the best IP KVM to look at for this?
I basically have a script that uses passthru when people login with FTP so it can connect users from multiple interfaces.
Thing is, it uses the default php.ini file so, to get this script to work I have to enable passthru in the default php.ini file, affecting all users with an account. I am currently running SuExec and can change the php.ini file each user uses from httpd.conf. But as far as I am aware the FTP user isn't in httpd.conf.
What user does FTP run under and how can I use a custom php.ini file just for the FTP daemon. Also, as a side note, what are the effects of passthru and can it be used for malicious intent if wanted?
Is it possible to create user aliases on linux?
I have webmin and virtualmin running on my server, but it's set up to create usernames in the form name@domain.tld.
Is it possible to create an alias, say myname that points to myname@mydomain.tld, so that I am able to have certain users to login via SSH using a shorter name?
i want to create a vps for tunnel ip for some user that use socks proxy.
how can i do it ?
our os is Centos
when I tried to reboot my VPS via Hypervm Enterprise I got this error:
===========
Alert: The vps myvps.vm is locked by another user. This would also be because you had interrupted an earlier activity that would take long time to complete. HyperVM has waited 15 seconds for the other process to finish. Please try after sometime.
===========
and memory usage going crazy it's going from 400MB "natural usage level" to 1024MB then the vps and all sites going down.

I am running phpsuexec on the server and it seems all php.ini settings are being applied per directory, I would like to have them running per user.
View 6 Replies View RelatedA user is running something that eats up all the server memory very quickly. Looking at the access logs this is all I get:

I get about 20-30 of these:

how I can figure out where this script is being run from?
There is user which is abusing my board by regsitering multiple accounts from different IPs and by using email addresses.
He has registered over 200 accounts,i am banning him once he make bad posts,but he still has tens of accounts regsitered.
Thats not bot,thats human beeing.
The question is whether if there is a tool to identify users using the same computer to regsiter multiple accounts ?
Probably by cookie or pc name or similar.
I'm making an account for my friend, and I just want him to have access to /var/www/hishomedirectory/
I want him to be able to do anything in that directory (rename files, delete, copy, move, upload, etc..), but not able to use apt-get or play with settings. Not a superuser either.
I know it will cost more, but does anyone know of some VPS providers that offer end user support?
I`m looking for a managed service, with end-user options thrown in for free or as a paid addon.
Like I said, I appreciate it will cost more for such a service. I`ve searched through the "offers forums" and could only come up with shared reseller plans.
I would prefer a provider with nodes based in the northern States such the great lakes area, IL, or the north east.

View 6 Replies View Relatedlinux and after several days testing different distributions and a bunch of different ways (e.g. freenx,vnc XFCE ...) I've decided to setup a vnc-server on CentOS-5-i386-minimal and use KDE as a desktop environment.
After reloading my vps with centos-5-i386-minimal, I logged in as root and executed:
Code:
yum update
yum -y groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"
yum -y install vnc vnc-server firefox X11 xorg
I then added a user "abt" and set the password. Then I logged in as abt and execute : vncserver, it asked for the password and created the appropriate .vnc directory and files.
I then edited xstartup file and replaced "twm &" with "startkde &" and executed vncserver once again, this created desktop number 2 for me.
The problem is that after running TightVNC(on vista) and entering IPNUMBER:2, It successfully connects to vnc-server but what i get is a black screen with X cursor!
