similar to: Changing UID numbers

Hello everyone - Update: Many thanks to Matt Miller for the tip on usermod options. That worked very well! I did not know those options existed and would never have thought to look for them. After making and testing backups, I started with my main workstation. Rebooted in runmode=3, then ran the usermod -u and -g options. I did this in two runs. I first had to uninstall docker since it

Hi, I am running a Samba 2.2.7a on Redhat 7.3 in a NT domain. For authentication I am using the domainusers.This is done by Winbind 2.2.7a which verifies the existens of the users on the PDC. So I dont't have to create local users (/etc/passwd) for users who want to connect to the shares in the smb.conf. I authorise them by adding valid users = domain+domainuser to the smb.conf. This works

--NoDisclaim-- I cant use an editor to mass update and change usernames as this is a part of an automatic useradd routine written in an ancient legacy application which calls useradd and usermod, we have been using this software for more than 15 years, so its hard for me to argue for a rewrite, so im forced to bend the OS instead it isnt a problem on redhat 8.0, so somewhere in the patches for

I have some CentOS 5 systems that are part of an Active Directory Windows 2003 domain (using natively configured files - not likewise open). getent passwd my_account reveals uid and gid are both 10000:10000. Thus, typing: % id reveals a uid of 10000. /etc/passwd does NOT have my local account created - credentials are strictly from the Active Directory domain. The username is of the format

Hi, im new to the list, so bear with me if this was discussed earlier! For historical issues we need to maintain usernames in all capitals ie. CD our test environment is running centos 3.4 - our live environment is on redhat 8.0 the useradd program won't allow me to create a new user with capitals, and usermod wont change a lower case user name to upper case! What is my options now ? - do

I have a setup with multiple hosts, each of them are administered separately. So there are no unified uid/gid for the users. When mounting a GlusterFS volume, a file owned by user1 on host1 might become owned by user2 on host2. I was looking into POSIX ACL or bindfs, but that won't help me much. What did other people do with this kind of problem? -------------- next part -------------- An

Hi there, I''d like to choose between an "static" and "dynamic" access of a reference class field, say ''a''. myObj <- getRefClass("Blabla")$new() Static: myObj$a Dynamic: myObj$a.get() where the function retrieves the data from a database (or some other location), stores it to a buffer and

Heh heh heh. Whoops. I've spent a few hours digging around in the source and nearly posted a kludge of a patch I'd written to give a kind of half-baked attempt at getting group-usable subscriptions files. Then I came across something in the source........ In the config file, do something like the following: namespace public { separator = / prefix = Public/ location =

Hello everyone, I added my user account to a group called "www-pub" for easier manipulations on web files on my server. And today I found that my account was not in the group "www-pub" any longer..... What I did to add my account to the group is like "sudo usermod -a -G www-pub myaccount". Is there anything wrong? Thanks for any suggestions. Sincerely, Xuwen

Hi, we are upgrading some servers from C6 to C7 with a lot of user accounts on them (UID>=500). CentOS 7 has MIN_UID/MIN_GID 1000, Centos 6 has 500 in login.defs. Can I change in /etc/login.defs MIN_UID/MIN_GID to 500 for C7? So I could just grep the users out from passwd/shadow/group files and append them to the Centos7 passwd/shadow/group files. Can this do any damage to CentOS7 later

Greetings, For a number of samba iterations I've been using Samba with winbind to keep AD users's UNIX UIDs and GIDs the same across several systems. I don't run the Active Directory set-up and those that do are NOT going to make any alterations to make my life easier. So i have always used idmap_rid to keep consistent UID/GID numbers across all my UNIX machines. This has

I am trying to run Mongrel 1.1.5 with mongrel_service 0.3.4 on Ruby 1.8.6 with a "normal" user account, i.e. a user which belongs only to the Windows group "Users". The rationale behind this is that running a web server with full administrative rights (e.g. Local System) is not something that I would like to do. Unfortunately, starting the service from the services control

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 doesnt not appear to do anything...

Hi, on HP-UX we want some users to have the same homedir. Homedir is managed by puppet as file resource.
