Bare minimum groups required during 'adduser'

i need a working user account where i can mount/unmount,play music, video,blah blah..basically do everything i can as root ,(but obviously not edit system files..) ...what groups do i need to add this user to? ive added this user to some groups, and strangely im able to access my fat32, but not my ntfs partition using this account..(fstab has "defaults,user" for both partitions)
oh and how do i give this user write access to these partitions?(ntfs/vfat and  backup reiser partition)?
is there anyway to give user access to pacman? what do groups like bin.adm,tty,daemon do exactly? (manpage?)
thanks very much!

if i remember correctly, umask=000 should be added to fstab ...such as:
/dev/discs/disc0/part2 / reiserfs defaults,user,umask=000   0 0
thats what i tried...however when i try to mount, i get an error ..and a dmesg | tail gives me
ReiserFS: hda2: warning: unknown mount option "umask=000"
ReiserFS: hda2: warning: unknown mount option "umask=000"
ReiserFS: hda2: warning: unknown mount option "umask=000"
so where do i shove umask=000 ??

  • OS X Leopard's bare minimum size requirements...

    I am planning to have an external Firewire drive which will host a copy of OS X Leopard for emergency situations. I want the drive (or partition) to be as small as possible...
    What would that size be, and are there any things I can remove to make it smaller.
    I'm not planning to have iLife or International Languages or Developer Tools. Just a bare version of the OS to boot into should OS X fail (on my internal drive).

    FWIW, I have successfully booted from Leopard on a hard drive volume as small as the standard DVD capacity (4.7 GB) but I have not fully tested it beyond checking that it will contain & run Disk Utility without apparent problems, & contain & launch (but not necessarily run) most of the other utilities found in the "Utilities" menu of a retail Leopard DVD.
    I did not run into any 10% of total disk space partitioning limitations while creating the partition (this was done on drives up to ~500 GB) but I did not install the OS in the normal way, which I'm sure would have created problems.
    What I did was to install the OS & the selected utilities on a much larger volume in the normal way, then whittle away at the OS footprint by removing such things as the contents of /System/Library/Printers, all the extra language folders (extension lproj), & anything else I could find not essential for basic operation of the OS or running the utilities. I then cloned this to the tiny volume & performed the above tests. IIRC, the footprint of the OS & the utilities together was something under 2 GB, leaving a bit more than that amount for scratch files.
    However, this was done as an experiment to see if I could create an emergency boot DVD for my PPC iMac (the results were less than perfect when this shrunken OS was run from read-only media) & I do not recommend this as worth the effort just to save a few GB of room on a decent sized hard drive.

  • Minimum permisions required to get Design Console access

    Hi,
    What are the minimum permissions required by User (expect for checking the Design Console checkbox on user profile) to access Design Console in OIM 11g R1 (11.1.1.5.0)?
    Ofcourse, we donot want to add the user in System Admin group.

  • Minimum group membership for imp/exp for ora 8i(client)  windows xp users

    Hi to all,
    For oracle 8i clients, windows xp users, what is the minimum group membership required that can be used so that the users can import or export dmps. Using Administrators imp/exp works ok... Any alternative?
    Thanks

    Hi Thierry,
    Please do not confuse the issue. Here we have the windows Operating System - privilege and then the Oracle database user privilege. In my case the Oracle database user privilege is DBA. If the user is given a Windows - Administrators privilege (which I do want to give) the exp/imp creates the DMP and log file. But any other standard windows privilege (with DBA privilege) the exp/imp does not create the dmp and log file. I hope I am clear and now you can suggest some alternative solution to OS - administrator.
    Thanks again

  • AD CS Web Enrollment Error - "public key does not meet the minimum size required"

    I've installed a standalone root CA and a enterprise subordinate CA in our environment - both are Windows 2008 R2. Everything is working except for Web Enrollment using a custom User template. I duplicated the default User template and choose
    2003 Compatible for the new one. I changed the minimum key length to 2048 and set the validity period to 2 years.
    We'd like to avoid using the Advanced Certificate Request page, so I modified certrqtp.inc to point to the new template:
    Else
    ' Request types for enterprise
    rgAvailReqTypes(0,FIELD_TEMPLATE)="User-custom"
    rgAvailReqTypes(0,FIELD_FRIENDLYNAME)=L_UserTemplateCert_Text
    rgAvailReqTypes(0,FIELD_CSPLIST)="Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider v1.0?Microsoft Base Cryptographic Provider v1.0"
    rgAvailReqTypes(0,FIELD_CSPLIST2)="Microsoft Base Cryptographic Provider v1.0?Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider v1.0"
    rgAvailReqTypes(0,FIELD_EXPORTABLE)="True"
    nAvailReqTypes=1
    End If
    I also ran into this issue where Web Enrollment jumps straight to the Advanced page if the original User template isn't present on the CA:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/winserversecurity/thread/9ab514bc-1f9f-424e-b70d-705874d9c623
    So I have both User templates loaded on the CA, and I get this error back when attempting a certificate request using IE 8 or 9:
    Your certificate request was denied.
    Your Request Id is 25. The disposition message is "Denied by Policy Module".
    Contact your administrator for further information.
    Looking at the CA's Failed Requests section, I see this error:
    The public key does not meet the minimum size required by the specified certificate template. 0x80094811 (-2146875375)
    I double-checked our custom template and it does specify 2048 as the minimum key size.
    Also, when trying with Chrome 11.0, I get an extra option during enrollment asking for a key size (1024 or 2048). When I choose 2048, the certificate request succeeds. I don't get the key size option when using IE, though.
    We'd like to get this working with IE if possible. Any ideas?

    We had the same error message. The problem turned out to be on the requesting computer, not the server. When we went to renew a cert in IIS on a server it was generating a 1028-bit key request. Since the minimum on the server was set to 2048-bit
    the request failed. So, there's two ways to handle this. You can change the certificate template on the server to have a minimum set to 1024-bit or you can have IIS submit a new request for a certificate and choose 2048-bit as the size of the key during the
    wizard. We opted to have IIS request a 2048-bit key. The same would apply for whatever computer, device, or software you are using to form the certificate request.
    Your message is pretty old, but I am running on the same problem right now. I've added a custom template to select (with 2048) minimum length, but the webpage from the IIS by default provides just 1024-bit. Where can i optimize the IIS to use a 2048-bit
    key when requesting the certificate?
    When I open the same site with Firefox for example, i got a listed option (Medium / High Strength) to choose for the encryption. It seems that the high strength is >= 2048-bit.

  • Itunes won't let me create an account because it says that I do not meet the minimum age requirements.  I was born in 1973.

    My daughter is 13 yrs old.  She was born in August 1997.  When I tried to set up her itunes account, I mistakenly typed in the year of my son's birthday which is 1999....which would make her too young.  When I tried to create the account again, with the correct year of 1997, it is giving me a message that it "does not meet the minimum age requirements".  But it does.  What do I do to fix this?  I got her the Ipod for her birthday and haven't given it to her yet and I wanted to get some songs on it for her before I gave it to her.  What can I do?

    Then I have no idea what to say (you did change names and dates I assume?)

  • Final Cut Studio 2 Minimum System Requirements

    Help me Obi Wan Kenobi....You're my only hope
    I own a Dual 867 MHz Power PC G4 with 1.25 GB of ram and want to purchase Final Cut Studio 2, OS X v10.5 Leopard and Adobe Photoshop CS3. I know Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Leopard are compatible, However what concerns me is Final Cut Studio 2. These are the Minimum System Requirements stated [A Mac computer with a 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4 or G5, Intel Core Duo, Intel Core 2 Duo, or Intel Xeon processor] So my question is would Final Cut Studio 2 work efficiently or even at all on my computer? My thinking is with collectively 1734 GHz power it should work, But i could also be delusional. I really would hate to end of buying it only to find put it won't work.
    Thanks in advance!!!

    If you're LUCKY, you might find a replacement processor card for your MDD Powermac G4 - (ideally dual 1.42GHz) - maybe eBay? - maybe from a Mac "breakers yard"? or someone selling off parts from a blown motherboard example?
    It's a drop-in replacement, assuming you're OK with a screwdriver and replacement thermal paste.

  • Minimum steps required for Change Management and Incident management

    Hello experts,
    Does anyone have a check list of the absolute minimum steps required for getting Change Management and Incident management functioning in Solution Manager.
    I just need it to function with creating changes and incidents and be able to assign them, change their status and close them.
    The purpose is to get an idea if this is something for us to use. If we then find it useable, then we will go for a full scale implementation using official guides, education etc.
    I just need an absolute minimum guide for demonstrating the functions, and if you guys have any recommendations, things we should pay special attention to or other experiences feel free to tell me.
    Thanks in advance.

  • What are the minimum system requirements for GB 4?

    What are the minimum system requirements for GB 4? I did search this forum but wasn't able to find a direct answer.
    I'm running version 3.0.4 successfully on a lowly G4 733 but I suspect this is as far as I can go.
    I'm updating to iDvd'08 and was also wondering if I can safely update to GB4 or not (from GB 3.0.7) on a G4 733 mhz Digital Audio. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. My guess is that I cannot but I'd like to confirm prior to attempting any further updates in GB.

    I try my best to play it safely; always. And you were right, everything worked on the ext. FW HD flawlessly ...... truly amazing software!
    (I did happen to check the activity Monitor w/in Utilities and it showed GB4 using about 60-67% of the CPU on a G4 733 ..... I'm assuming this is normal).

    Not sure if there's a correct order to opening these apps as there has been in former versions of iLife ..... however, this (as shown above) is the order in which I opened all apps, and all worked well.

    Buy the Snow Leopard retail installer (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA).
    That will take you to 10.6.3.
    If required you can then use the combo updater to get to the latest version, 10.6.8 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399)

    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

    First document is posted with reconciliation account which is generally used for external customer for which trading partner is not required during document posting. Then we changed the reconciliation account which is used for internal customer for which Trading partner is required, but during document posting system did not capture any trading partner. No trading partner captured during both the document posting.
    When we are trying to clear both these document using F-32 , now system asking for a trading partner.
    Can any one suggest, how to clear both these document?
    Thanks in Advance,

    Dear Nayak
