I am not sure if anyone else has run into this, but i did today when setting upo a samba server. http://lists.gobolinux.org/pipermail/gobolinux-users/2007-February/004413.html In an nutshell you get an error like: "usermod: invalid numeric argument", or the user groups are never assigned, etc. So I have been managing manually. I get the exact same symptoms, etc (but doing things like appending groups, etc). Apparently it can be fixed by downgrading Shadow package to 4.0.17, however with a quick little "rpm...

Hi, I am sure this subject has come up before. I did not find anything on Google that comes close to what I am trying to do. I would like to manage different groups on multiple nodes using puppet and do not know of a good way to do it. Does anyone have an idea of how I can accomplish this? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Mouncef _______________________________________________

Hello, everybody! I'm getting the following error when I'm trying to print from a Delphi application: File access denied. This printer routine in my application is a routine to print text. So it prints to a file in LPT1 . The source code is more or less like this: Code: procedure Print; var File: TextFile; begin AssignFile(File, 'LPT1'); Rewrite(File); try

...e group of Linux servers that I inherited from a previous administrator. Unfortunately there is no single sign-on configured so each server has it's own local accounts with local authentication. Normally I use ssh keys and a handy shell script to change passwords on all these machines with the usermod -p command. We are able to update the password on on one server and push the encrypted password out to all the others. If, however, we turn on password aging with "chage -M 90 username" then try to update passwords with usermod, the aging info for the account is not updated even though...

Hi all, I'm writing a script, and one thing it does is the following: ssh someuser@somehost /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-usermod -a -P some.samba.user If I left off the -P all works fine. With the -P it does not prompt me for the password on my screen, but it seems to have done it on the host I am ssh'ing to. I straced the command on that host and I am stuck at a read() call. However, I can't see the password...

I''m new to puppet. I''m trying to use some real case examples to better understand how Puppet works. Here''s my case: exec { "usermod -d /home/hadoop -s /bin/bash hadoop": unless => "test `grep ^hadoop /etc/passwd | awk -F: ''{print $6}''` == ''/home/hadoop''" } The idea is the usermod would only get executed if the user''s home directory was something other t...

Hi Guys, First of all I can do the following: "usermod -g GID bobby" and it adds the group to the user account fine (GID being the actual number value not the name). but if i don't use -g it fails to work, I want to ADD the group "Domain Users" to "bobbys" account, so I tried: "usermod -a -G GID bobby" but it...

...assword, or just use their default dummies. I chose the dummies -- and realized in the night that I've never changed a username before. I think, repeat think, I could hack it with mv and chown, but I had enough sense to try a few manuals and duckduckgo searches. Those eventually led me to usermod, and I took a look at 'man usermod'. It seems to be fairly powerful -- and therefore dangerous as well as apposite. So I ask here: are there caveats, gotchas, and/or other entities of their ilk that I need be wary of? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I...

Hello, When I modify a user account adding him to a customized group, there is a delay which can be up to 2 hours to take effect. - the user account is already created with smbldap-useradd. - the user account is modified later (with smbldap-usermod), adding him to a group which has the right "allow log on through terminal services properties" on the local security policy The samba server act as a PDC. I've tried a lot of things to bypass the delay : - restart of samba - restart of openldap - gpupdate /force on windows server -...
