When installing Ubuntu, you are required to create one user account. That account is the “root” account, used to perform all administrative functions on the system. Any user with access to that account can modify or change any setting they want. Sometimes it necessary to create another account, say, for a guest, or for some [...]
I have installed Oracle 11g on fedora 14. I connected with SQL*Plus as 'SYS' and
created some tables, then created a user named "account" and a role, "payroll"
with the following privileges. I assigned the role to the "account" user but I
cannot access the created tables when I log-in as "account".
Hello,
I just upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 and I can't create a second user account. System Settings > User Accounts does not ask for a password when creating an account, so a user gets added; but the account is disabled.
Any help appreciated.

Some time I want to give access to my computer for my Guests. How can I create a disposable password to my user account so that they have no access to my account in the future, without my permission. The password should be deleted immediately or at logout/shutdown.
I wonder if there is a tool/modified ssh-server/ssh option which enables me to grant ssh access for a single session to a given user. What I want to avoid is creating a user account and password for the specific guest. It could instead use an existing user account with certain access rights to be set once. I do not want to share the same account information with everybody I grant access to.
I'd like to create a user account on a Windows Server which can read whatever bits of C:\ it needs to be able to execute programs, but have no read access to D:\ except for D:\Special.
It seems that the only sane way of achieving the former is to make this user part of the Users group. Unfortunately that also gives the user read access to all of D:\.
From LinuxBSDos.com.Aside from being based on Debian rather than Ubuntu, another way that Kali Linux 1.0, the latest incarnation of BackTrack Linux 5, defers from BackTrack, is that the installer allows you to specify a password for the root system account.
However, it does not allow you to create a standard user account. Which means that you can only log in as the root user.
I've purchased a virtual server, where I'm given of a non-root sudo-enabled user.
Actually I do need to create an FTP account that's not that sudo-able account, so I created a no-login account just for that purpose.
Back in Gnome 2 there was a very useful user account editing gui tool whereby I could easily add or edit a user to a group. For example, I could give a standard user access to something that they hadn't installed or don't have default access too, such as Me-TV.
