http://forums.opensuse.org – Hi all. I'm really having a bad headache with this. I have PXE diskless clients booting open suse 11.2. The problem is this sec. policy, the user only has 3 tries for login with the correct user and pass, after the third try, the account blocks the user. The problem is the user don't know what's going on whit its account, because kdm just shows "Login Failed", and no other details, and this brings a lot of complains. Would be really good messages like "Cannot Login: Wrong Password", "Cannot Login: Unknown User" and also &quot (Distributions)

I've just installed 11.10, and am using Gnome shell.

I´ve problem with my user login.

When ubuntu starts, at user & password login menu, y check my pass to log in but all ubunto does is a beep sound, black screen, and returns to start menu asking login and pass again.

No errors, "wrong pass" or something else.

It fails only with my user, if i try to log as guest everything is ok and it stats with no problem.

Any idea aboout it?

Unexpected End Of File Error 47 weeks 6 days ago

Hi guys,

I am new to BASH scripting and I was wondering if anyone could have a look at this code and explain to me why I am getting an Unexpected End of File Error ?

If you can that would be great / much appreciated!

The "user" nobody is a very special account, I know that much, and will not work with most apps that a user would need to start.  It's a non-login user account which is used for security purposes to deny an attacker a proper login shell.  I'm pretty sure Samba treats the account & user group "nobody" in a special fashion, at least that's what is in

######Want to check user account already exist###############

echo &qu

openSUSE 11.2 box with seven users

At login only one account is visible.

It might be a coincidence but problem only arose with the addition of the seventh user

YaST -> Security and Users -> User and Group management -> User tab

shows seven users

for each user

Edit -> "disable user login" box is unchecked

I'd be grateful for any thoughts on solving this one
