Good day, I am building my first PKGBUILD and I have run into a problem. The package I'm building is trying overwriting files in /usr/lib/crda. At first I put the file copy instructions in the build() function of my PKGBUILD. However, it complained about existing files and aborted the installation. So I tried to get around this existing file restriction, and built an .install script.
There seems to be lots of help in the FAQs for customizing Unity, even with dconf-editor and other tools. However, as an administrator of a large thin client installation, from time to time, there are special installations of educational software or of scripts for special uses that I have to make available to all users.
Take, for example, the application for Oaks Standardized Testing.
In an effort to adapt to best security practices, it has been suggested that a number of scripts that are going to be distributed to multiple machines across an internal network use be modified to replace instances of rsh and rcp with openSSH ssh and scp.
I have Ubuntu 10.10 that works perfect for me and my family. Now I would like to install a fresh 12.10 release. I have a separated /home partition.
After installing a new version, I need to configure users on the system.
How to add new users that will use the existing /home partition?
My question is if I have user “user1” and there is /home/users1 folder.
Just did a new install of CrunchBang-11-20120927-amd64. The GUI menu editor doesn't appear to be working properly. I can add new menu items and edit the ones that I add. I can't change pre-existing items (the ones that were there from the install). The Execute line is empty for the pre-existing items. I can enter a program name, but nothing gets saved to the menu.xml file.
I'm starting to use puppet to manage a couple of servers and I'm not sure how to achieve the following.
I've got a users module which I use to create common users across all servers. I've got a git module which I use to install git and set up a system-wide config in /etc/gitconfig.
Code:
root#pwd
/opt/tools
root# cat check_traffic
/opt/tools/utils/commands $1 /opt/tools/utils/DIR/check_traffic
root# cat /opt/tools/utils/DIR/check_traffic
gew "check_traffic -v"
Hi above script works for checking traffic for an ip address im trying to view the check_traffic script by cat'ing it but I get the above error, can anyone help please?
Thanks for the reply, jjacky. Yes, as the topic name and my text states, I am using adduser. I know it is a shell script, and on the Debian systems I've worked on, adduser creates a group with the same name as the username, just like useradd does. I assumed that adduser populated its defaults from the login.defs file, but that seems not to be the case.
Friend of mine has pranked me and did few things like changing my password. I cannot change it because every time i do it or manually edit /etc/shadow file it gets back to the version from before editing.
It also happens with some other files like .bashrc where at the end there is added a script that makes a sound whenever I start new console :D (I have removed espeak already).
