About it resource root user account

hello,
everyone
for oim it resource,such as an aix system, the account is usually root,but if passwd for root is changed,we must also change the password in it resource too.
I want to use a seperate account other than root to admin the it resource,how to do that?

http://www.archlinux.org/static/docs/ar … ml#userman
this link contains the same directions that i've used to create a user under arch.  the above poster is also correct that you should have root regardless, but you may wish to setup a password on that account as well.

  • There is a non-root user account

    I got the warning "there is a non-root user account with the UID 0 in your system" on installing some software and on running in the terminal... dscl . -list /Users UniqueID , there are indeed 2 users with UID 0, root and me who is admin too. Also cannot log in to keychain - related?

  • Can I enable the root user account from the log in screen when I am locked out of the machine?

    Hello everyone,
    I am working on my friends mac to get it ready to sell. I went into the advanced options of the user and changed the name of the account. That's all I changed. I did read the warning that said if anything was changed it could cause damage, that's why I only changed the name of the user account. I didn't want to mess with anything else. Well, needless to say, I am locked out of the machine. Apparently the root user, system administrator, account was not enabled and I am stuck at the screen that I can get to with my installation disc. So how can I enable the root user account and get back onto the machine from the screen I am at? Can I enable the root user from terminal? I spent a good 8 hours yesterday researching this topic and have come up empty. Changing passwords from commands in terminal is not the problem. I am given just one account to choose from to log on and it's not accepting the password because of the changes I made in the advanced options menu.
    Is there any hope of getting this thing going again? Or have I just screwed myself over?
    Thanks for your help!
    Leah

    You can reset the password.
    http://pondini.org/OSX/Password.html
    Do you need to recover data from it before you sell it?  If not you can just wipe the disk and prepare it for sale.

  • Setting previleges to a non-root user account to access ports

    Hello ,
    I am tring to do an icmp-ping to a machine in the network from an application by connecting to icmp port through a raw socket.
    My question is i am able to connect to icmp port using raw socket only in root user account. But my application should run under a non root user account and do the ping for me.
    1)How do i set previleges to a particular user to access icmp port?
    I am running the application on solaris 9
    2)I read a paper on net saying ports from 0 to 1024 can only be accessed by a root user account?
    Why is this and what can be done for a non-root user account to access these ports.
    3) Is this possible in solaris 9.
    Thanks in Advance,
    cheers,
    pal

    There is only one solution: create a new Standard user account and set it as your auto login account, if you use that feature.
    Using what you describe is mostly a false sense of security. Were someone to hack into the computer they could hack into the standard account, so you would not wish to keep any sensitive data in that account. Other things to consider:
    Turn on your Firewall in Security & Privacy preference panel.
    Use software to mask your online presence such as ProxyCap 2.03, MacProxy, Proxifier, or Hotspot Shield.

  • How to Remove "Root" User Account

    No, when I enabled the root account in the command prompt for the Leopard password problem, now I have an account called "Other" in my User Select Screen.

  • I suddenly can't access the Root User Account

    Things were working fine, then I used Disk Warrior to clean things up. Now when I enable Root User, I can't log it the account. I tried the change password and used the new PW and no joy.

  • No root/user account.

    Hi.
    I just installed Arch through Opensuse 11 Gnome looking at the following link. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … ting_Linux
    However, as you can see there is no option to add root password, or a user account in the guide.
    Now i have an Arch system installed, but after booting in, when i see the CLI, it asks me to log in. But I have put in no account there. So what should I do?
    How do i add a root account and another user account?
    Maybe, my guess is, I should try through my opensuse system, right? since i installed arch through it in the first place?
    Please help. This is my first time with Arch Linux.
    Thanks a ton in advance.

    http://www.archlinux.org/static/docs/ar … ml#userman

  • Stuck in root user account

    Hi all.
          I just logged in to the root folder to edit my home folder short name. I am now in the root account, however the trackpad clicking is not responding and neither is the touchpad gesture. When i try to log out of root through keyboard shortcut commands, i find that the keyboard is not responding to my commands either. At the same time, I am unable to connect an external mouse to see if it was just my trackpad not responding, because I am backing up my EHD through time machine which takes up both my usb ports. Before I went into the root account, the mouse and keyboard was working completely fine.
         Now my mac is just sitting there with the Mac OS X setup Assistant open, not responding to anything; when i move my finger on the trackpad though the pointer responds, meaning the mac is not frozen or anything. Any ideas how i could get out of such a situation?
         It is a macbook pro running lion 10.7, which is all the specs i know off the top of my head

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh35611.html
    This is what i could find in Apple support.
    Hope it helps.

  • Concern about security of non user accounts (services)

    Many linux distribution (also Solaris) assign /bin/false or /bin/nologin as a shell for accounts dedicated to services like web, ftp, samba, among others.  I saw that Arch do not directly assign a shell for these kind of accounts.  I would like to know (1) Arch provides another method of security or (2) /bin/false is the default for accounts that do not specify a shell ( which I doubt it).

    My computer is a personal one, so I do not have any daemon server installed, but from a clean 0.7 install the following accounts do not define a shell:  bin, daemon, mail, ftp, nobody.
    Other services like apache, mysql, bind and others may include the same problem on its accounts, maybe not.
    Again, dunno if Arch includes another way of security, but since everyone else (I mean distro) already made those changes to its daemon accounts  long time ago, It will not harm to us do the same.
    Also I read somewhere that the recommended security measure is to not have accounts of services not installed at all, and that's apparently the approach Arch developers are using, at least when comparing our /etc/passwd with the ones of RH/Fedora, Gentoo.

  • I cannot log into user account with old password after using migration assistant.

    I used Migration Assistant to move only my Settings and Users from my Power PC (User name RLE 5) to my Mac Pro.  Because of what I have read in these forums I did not migrate applications or and files/folders. I will do that manually.  After migrating I tried logging in to my user account RLE 5 on my Mac Pro, but it is telling me I am using the wrong password.  I used the same password I used on my Power PC, but with no luck.  On my Mac Pro I went into System Preferences>Accounts>RLE 5 account and changed the password.  I then rebooted and tried again.  No luck.
    Can somebody help me with this problem?
    Thank you.

    What you propose would not solve the problem I am having.  I must not have been clear about it.  So I will elaborate. 
    I have a Power PC with 10.5.8.  The admin user account name is RLE 5.  I need a password to log into my root user account on my Power PC. 
    Then I bought a used Mac Pro with a clean install of 10.7.5 and no password set up yet for my admin user account.  The admin user account name is Mac Pro.  When I turn on the computer it opens to my admin user account where I have access to everything. 
    I used Migrations Assistant to move my Settings and Users from my Power PC to my Mac Pro.  That seemed to to successfully. 
    So I now have four users on my Mac Pro:  RLE 5 (the admin user from my Power PC with the password), Mac Pro (my admin user which does not require a password), and two guest user accounts.
    I turn on my Mac Pro and it opens to my Mac Pro admin user account.  I don't need to sign in.  No problem. 
    I log out of Mac Pro.  On my screen are the four user accounts.  I click on RLE 5 (which was my admin user account on my Power PC that I migrated over to my Mac Pro) to log into that account and it asks me for a password.  I type in the password I used for my Power PC.  It keeps telling me it is the incorrect password.
    I cannot log into my user account RLE 5 on the Mac Pro.  I am being told I have the incorrect password. I've gone to System Preferences>Accounts and changed the password.  It doesn't make a difference. 
    Also I cannot log into the Guest User account that migrated from the Power PC to the Mac Pro for the same reason.  I have also tried to change the password for that Guest User account also but with no luck. 
    Another interesting thing has happened.  I decided to give my Mac Pro admin user account a password by going to System Preferences>Accounts.  But when I do a test to sign into my admin user account Mac Pro it tells me it is the wrong password.  Luckily I can reboot the computer and it opens to my Mac Pro user without asking for a password.  But if I log out of Mac Pro and try to then sign back in with the password it tells me it is the incorrect password.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Running VMware Server 2 services as a non-root user

    Hello,
    I have switched from VirtualBox to VMware Server 2 on my Arch64 server and the transition has been relatively painless. I am at the point now where I want to run VMware's services as a non-root user account (I have a service account called "svc-vmadmin" that I'd like to use). I'm generally not comfortable running services as root, but at the same time I'm conscious of the time and effort required vs. overall benefits.
    I've done the usual Google searches and even checked the VMware Server 2 user guide and the VMware community, but I can't find specific details on how to achieve this.
    Is this even plausible in a Linux environment? I used to run VMware Server 1 under the SYSTEM account on Windows Server, so I'm hopinga similar thing can be done on Arch.
    I would greatly appreciate any information or personal experience that fellow Archers can share.
    Thanks,
    Thom

    System services are handled by launchd.
    If you look in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ you'll see a plist file for each service including org.isc.named.plist, the plist for named.
    If you edit this file you'll see it's an XML document that describes the service and how the OS should handle it, including the part:
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
    <string>/usr/sbin/named</string>
    <string>-f</string>
    </array>

    When I set up my user account last year when I got this computer, I am pretty sure I remember a shortname being filled in or suggested to me, and it had an uppercase character for its first letter. So, my short name is "Name" -- except, you know, instead of "Name" it's my first name.
    Anyway, I haven't had any issues until I installed 1Password. I'm having some trouble keeping it in sync, and ran a troubleshooting app as part of their guidance and I see that they say an issue is that my shortname contains an uppercase letter, when in fact it should be all lowercase.
    I find mixed reviews online of whether all lowercase in the short name is still a thing—I've found a few places that say uppercase letters were allowed in 10.6.8, but others say that it should be all lowercase and I need to change my shortname.
    I'd really rather not change it, but just to see how I would do it if I ended up having to, I checked out these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1428. I got hung up on enabling the root user, though, because I'm not able to select "Enable root user" from the edit menu. It's always grayed out.
    I then found this Apple doc on enabling the root user in Mountain Lion: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11331?viewlocale=en_US but it's nothing different. "Enable root user" is still always grayed out in the edit menu.
    So... Is there no way I can enable the root user? I'm running 10.8.

    FWIW, enabling the root user account to change a user's shortname is taking a sledgehammer to put a tack in a wall to hang a picture. Better is to follow this:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3872.
    I've not enabled the root user account since installing OS X in 2002 and I use the Terminal and the CLI routinely.

  • Finder being very slow on user account

    Hello,
    I have a retina MacBook Pro with 16GB of ram. I am having an issue with finder being very slow on one of my user accounts, sometimes it is taking up to a 2mins to show the files in the folder. Also if often hangs and I get the beachball icon when clicking into folders and just using finder in general. This is on both local drives and network drives. I have 2 user accounts one for personal and one for work. My personal account has no problems and it is fast as I would expect from an SSD. My work account has all the same applications and I can't see anything obvious in activity monitor that would be causing it to be slow. I've thought about making a new user account but I would like to have all my settings etc the same as I have it set up just right now.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Andy

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    First, empty the Trash.
    Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl \) 2> /dev/null | wc -l
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

  • Unexpected Access to Other Users' Accounts

    I just discovered tonight that I when I search for files, files in other user's accounts on this computer show up. I can open them too, but throwing them away requires that user's password. Searching the internet to see if this is a normal feature, I find questions about how to access other user's files and comments that even administrators cannot do this. Is this normal or abnormal behavior? Fast user switching is not enabled. Does anyone know where solid information can be found about the "barriers" between users' accounts? Thanks.

    Ah, thanks, BDAqua. I see that at the user level, each user folder is set to read only. So if the users aren't saving their files in their enclosed "no access" folders, but at their base user level, they are read only. If we set each user folder to "no access", then others would not be able to access the shared folder either. Is there a way to set access priviledges for users on this computer so that they're the same for users on this network? Users on the network only see the "drop box" when they open a user folder.

  • Several user account with ID=0

    Hello I find I have a problem:
    My OS X has several user accounts with the same ID, particularly with ID=0. This ID should belong to root user account only.
    Terminal: dscl . -list /Users UniqueID
    daemon                  1
    diegopaniz              0
    Guest                   201
    KEKA                    501
    nobody                  -2
    root                    0
    Someone know how to fix it?
    TKS!!!

    If you're using "diegopaniz," change the UID to something in the 500 range. Otherwise delete it. You seem to already know how to use dscl.
