Enable ftp root login on S11

Hi ,
I am testing ftp on a quite recent version of S11: S11u11 update1
#Last login: Thu Mar 1 15:22:29 2012 from qlogic-47fezfvt

I am wondering why the ftp root login remains disabled, even after I removed "root" from /etc/ftpd/ftpusers and reboot?

Any idea how to allow ftp root login?
Tom

Hi Tom,
I haven't checked the docs for all the steps to enable ftp,
but I see this output on my s11 system:
# svcs -a | grep ftp
disabled Feb_17 svc:/network/ftp:default
disabled Feb_17 svc:/network/tftp/udp6:default
Have you enabled the service?
Thanks,
Cindy

Solaris 11 AutoInstaller service profile for ssh to enable root logins?

Hi Guys,
I have got a basic system configuration profile that sets various things for my newly installed solaris 11 client.
I was curious if anyone has a xml service configuration declaration I could use that configures the ssh service to allow remote root logins.
I'd appreciate it.

SSH configuration is not held in SMF but in /etc/ssh/sshd_config so it is not currently possible to use just an AI/SC manifest & profile to do what you ask.
You need do deliver an updated /etc/ssh/sshd_config file with "PermitRootLogin yes", you will also need to have your SC profile setup so that the root account is not configured as a role. Y
ou can deliver the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file either in an IPS package or you could do it with a custom [first boot script|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26502_01/html/E28980/firstboot-1.html#scrolltoc] or use a software_type of archive in your AI manifest to deliver it via cpio/tar.

Connecting to an XServer as root login

Is there a way to login to an Xserver from an OSX workstation as root? Is there a setting on the XServer to let root connect to the Xserver from another computer.
Thanks in advance.

It should be no problem.
I can't remember if you first need to enable the root user in NetInfo Manager when running OS X Server. Perhaps you want to check that on the XServe first. (NetInfo Manager -> Security -> Enable Root User)
Otherwise, you should be able to log in as root from any other machine.

FTP Root ignored ?

I am setting up FTP access to my OS X ( 10.4 ) server, and I set the FTP Root folder to be the web folder on the server. ( /Library/WebServer/Documents ). When I login as one ofthe users, say "admin", instead of going to the FTP Root, I just get that users Home Directory. I have restarted the FTP service many times with no change. This doesn't change with a terminal FTP login or "Conect to Server " connection or HTML connection. Even more distressing is that on a PC, if you use a browser and login, you get an HTML style list of files of the user's directory, but you can also go up one level multiple times anmd see a LOT more folders than I want ! We experimented with just the Admin user loggin in, so they have more rights, but....I just want a single folder where Web Page stuff can be copied up. How can I get this accomplished ?

What do you have selected in 'Server Admin > FTP > Settings > Authenticated Users See?' Sounds like it might be Home Directory Only. You could try 'FTP Root and Share Points' instead, and give the users no access to the share points (using ACL's).
What you're seeing in a web browser is the same thing you can probably see in an FTP app. In your FTP app, see if you can issue a raw ftp command, and try 'cd ..' and see where it takes you.

Passwod for Root login in Terminal:

It seems I had set up the login password for the Administrator that shows when you start/restart the system different from the root login of the terminal. Is that possible?
I lost my root password, and clueless. My login to the computer using Administrator' name is working fine. But when I enter su at terminal, it asks for the password, and the password seems different from the login password of the administrator. How to reset the root login password?
Please help.

By default, root login is disabled, so no password you enter is going to work.
You can use /Applications/Utilities/NetInfo Manager to enable or disable the root account.
Alternatively, if you really need a root shell, use sudo -s (assuming your account is in the admin group and can use sudo). This is actually the preferred method of obtaining a root shell.

Home folder name change, cannot see enable the root user option

Hi I am using Mac OS X (10.6.8)..got it from others.. I would like to change the home (small home symbol in finder) folder name. Went through many discussion in apple support. My problem is, I am unable to enable the root user. I went through the following steps: Apple menu -System Preferences- Accounts- authenticated as an administrator account- Login Options- Join- Open Directory Utility- Directory Utility window- administrator account name and password, then clicked OK. After this I can not see option with name Enable root user ( I can see only Active directory, BSD flat file and NIS, LDAPv3, Local). If I click active directory then the edit section will be activated. If I click edit, its showing active directory domain). I can not understand this.
Can anybody help me out please..
Thank you in advance

Here are the instructions from Apple on changing user short name or home directory name. I've used this on a couple of used MacBooks I've bought on eBay. And remember to go into System Preferences>Sharing and change the Computer Name in there.

Ftp root and sharepoints setting bringing users right into home dir.

Hello, I pretty much understand the setup of ftp, but shouldn't the "ftp root and sharepoint" setting bring authenticated users into the ftp root first as the "/" directory? Then they should be able to access users since I have it shared and get into their directory if they need. But in my setup it brings them into their home directory first making it look just like the "home folders and sharepoints" setup. Any ideas?

This came up and bit me today, too.
If I set "Authenticated Users See:" to "Home Directory Only", it works as advertised and ftp users are dropped into their home directories.
If I set "Authenticated Users See:" to "FTP Root and Share Points", login invariably fails with the message "530 User username: can't change directory to /Users/username."

FTP root folder troubles

I'm a server newby here and need a little help. I have Snow Leopard server running on a Mac Mini, trying to get FTP up and running. Some how, while chasing down several gremlins, the folder designated as the FTP root folder was deleted and now I can't get FTP to relaunch in the Server Admin.
Thanks

I don't think you can get the built-in server to act differently based on the hostname the user accessed via - there's nothing in the FTP connection that indicates how they got to your server (unlike a HTTP request which does include the hostname of the URL).
So typically this is done by creating usernames in each domain (e.g. [email protected], [email protected]) which are used as the FTP login. If you take that approach then you can send people to different locations when they log in - you'll just need to set each account accordingly.
The alternative is to use a different server such as CrushFTP which can run multiple services on different IP address/ports, each of which has its own set of accounts, sharepoints, etc. In this way user 'bob' can log in and depending on which address he uses, he gets different content (assuming 'bob' was a valid account in both domains.

Kde root login no longer present(Solved with set true kdmrc)

How to enable root log-in in Kde log-in window.
Window shows Root
Password......
Upon entry of password, error message says :
!root logins not allowed.
What change is necessary to allow root log-in?

Hi lilsirecho.
I hope these comments will be helpful. I'm not quite certain what you're problem is with your root account.
1. Give your root account a root password. Log in as root, and run:
passwd root
You can get to this console by pressing the tri-chord:
Alt-Ctrl-Fn
where Fn is F1 ... F7 (or whatever consoles you've set up in '/etc/inittab') and then logging in.
2. You should be able to run KDE as root or as a regular user if you log into root or your regular user account. If you're starting from a console, you'll need to run 'startx', of course. You may need to stop the already running X instance: run 'init 3' as root. To restart X, run 'init 5' as root. This should take you to the KDE login.
3. Once you have KDE up and running, go to the KDE Control Center->System Administrator->Login Manager. To change the login you'll need to have administrative ('root') privileges (that's why you'll need a root password). You'll see a button in the lower left corner of the Login Manager screen to give you 'Administrator Mode'. You should see in the 'Users' tab a list of login users with options to hide and set icons in login screen. Make certain that 'root' is marked appropriately here.
4. After you've done your KDE Control Center configuration for the KDE login, you should be able to log out and restart KDE with a root user as an option.

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.

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.

How to enable FTP service in Solaris 10

Hello, Everybody
I installed my first Solaris 10 today, but I have a problem with FTP process, I found I could not ftp to my new server from other equipments. It seems that FTP service is disabled by default.
Could you any guy tell me how to enable FTP in Solaris 10?
Thanks in advance.
-jason

Since the OS is Solaris 10, how about using SMF's svcadm tool to enable/disable ftp service.
eg.,
# svcadm disable /network/ftp
# ftp localhost
ftp: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
Trying ::1...
ftp: connect: Network is unreachable
ftp> bye
# svcadm enable /network/ftp
# ftp localhost
Connected to localhost.

Root login

Hello all,
I've a problem with root login password in Solaris.
After I installed a patch the root password became empty, so to login as root I don't have to type any password, just username: root.
I've tried the passwd command but it still doesn't work, it asks for password when I type su but still automatically logs in with root username and don't ask the password ...
Does anyone knows how can I solve this?
Thanks!!!

Have you check the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow file status. try running pwconv command and try set a password

FTP root & share points - how can I disable the latter?

I'm new to the Mac world and I'm in the process of configuring a Mac OS X server to run Contribute 3.
The server will be used to host a single site and the FTP is working now.
Question is, how can share points be disabled?
In the FTP root (libary/webserver/documents/) the following 3 files always get created automatically (I've tried deleting them as root):
Groups
Public
Users
Is there a way to disable them? I was thinking of placing the website one folder away from the ftp root, but that could make things too complicated for users.
Please advise!

Anyone?
I removed the share points in the Workgroup Manager but they still show up when I ftp into the server (set to ftp root & share points).
Does anyone know how to get rid of them permanently?
If that is all it should take, please post... The system has been unable to save all settings as an account was deleted and the OS placed certain folders into the "unkown" ownership which is the topic in another thread:

Control root login

Hi,
Does there is any option to control root login via ssh or su. At a time only one person can login via ssh or su
If any other trying to access it will throws error like "Already in use"
Regards
Siva

Through SSH, You can use PermitRootLogin directive to control root login.
To allow specific users to ssh, use AllowUsers directive
To control su, through sshed teminal, tweak PAM settings.
To limit only one session / Server use IPtables and use "HITCOUNT" option.
