New user can not run ping from shell

Hello,
I am an extreme novice, but I have been able to install Solaris 10 on a SunBlade 100 and have created a second user. I want to be able to telnet or ssh to my system as the second user and then run pings and traceroutes from there to other network devices.
If I remote log in as root I get a # prompt and can run ping. If I remote log in as the second user I get a $ prompt even though the group [0], base directoty [], and shell [sbin/sh] are identical to root in the /etc/passwd file. If I try to run ping I get: ping: not found.
What do I need to configure for the second user so that the login receives the # prompt and is able to run pings?
Thanks,
Greg

I'm missing something. I want to create a user that is equal to the root. The root has # prompt and can run ping with no extra work. What do I need to do to my second user to get access to the # prompt and the ability to just type and run ping ?Oohhhhhhhhhh, root has that other prompt and his PATH statement is setup properly and mine isn't so I need to be him instead of fixing the user account.
You can set any users prompt to anything you want. You can make root's prompt a dollar sign instead if you want to and you can set an ordinary users prompt to the # symbol so what does that prove?
All you need to do is to fix the PATH statement in ~/.profile for bash or sh and the user no longer needs to type the full path or use ./ to run a command.
You have a lot to learn.

  • 10.6.8 Server. New Users can not authenticate

    We have two Xserves (one OD Master, one replica) running OS X 10.6.8 Server and about 100 client macs all running 10.6.8.
    We have a problem when adding new users in WorkGroup Manager. Users seem to be added correctly (no errors), and all info matches existing/previous users in WGM (including Kerberos and apple password entries). New users can not log into their Macs, nor authenticate to mount any volumes that also authenticate through our Master OD server. What's odd is that we can edit passwords, etc in existing/previous users and they are updated on the client end. We have also verified logs and compared new users authentication logs to existing and the logs say that the users authenticate successfully.
    We are at a loss as what to do next. Any ideas?

  • Can not Run Application from Client PC.

    Hi,
    I have a pc running on WinXP called "PC1". I have installed Oracle9i Database, Developer Suite 10g and services. I can run my application smoothly on "PC1".
    My problem is that i can not run my application from client pc running on WinXP called "PC2". I have installed JINIT.exe on "PC2". I started OC4J also on "PC2". IE shows "Page can not be displayed" message.
    What settings i have to do to run my application on Client i.e. "PC2".
    Waiting for any kind of help.
    Thanks.

    Hi all,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I have already install same JINI.exe on Client "PC2" which is on Server "PC1". And the version of the IE and JINI are same on Server "PC1" and Client "PC2".
    I start OC4J on Server.
    Should i make some settings on JINI Control Panel on Client ? Like Proxies.
    I have enable all check box on "Basic" Tab of JINI.
    Further, On client, the check Box of "Show Java Console" is also on, but when i try to connect my application from IE, the Java console does not appear.
    I would like to inform u that, when i start additional Proxy driver like Analog proxy on my server and then i give that proxy address and port in Client IE connection LAN setting, i am able to run my application from that Client.
    But i think that is not the solution.
    Waiting for reply.

  • My new users can not upload files via browse

    Hi there;
    When my recent created users can not download files via the browse within the Internet interface.
    When I hit the via browse I face the following:
    500 Internal Server Error
    oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-10406: Invalid AttributeValue conversion (DIRECTORYOBJECT to Java DirectoryObject)
    oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-10200: Unable to access object (insufficient privileges)
    Any hint?
    Sasan Ebadian

    Hi Sasan,
    These are the ACL's of IFS:
    PRIVATE Grants no permissions to any other user. Other users cannot view, modify, or delete a user’s document in any way, unless changed by the owner.
    PROTECTED For folders only. Enables other users to see the files in the folder, add documents and folders to the folder, and remove documents and folders they have created from the folder, but are not allowed to delete the folder itself.
    PUBLIC Allows full access to the item. All users can make any changes that the owner can make.
    PUBLISHED Allows other users to view the contents, but they are not allowed to modify or delete the document.
    If you attach the ACL Public it must work!

    Unity 405 UM with Exchange 2003, Callmanager 413.
    Thanks

    Actually this is system wide problem, other users not reported.
    Solution: The unity primary server was out of synch with the exchange message store, restarted the Message Store svc, problem solved.

  • User can not inherited privilege from Role

    DD1 is a new user, CT_GROUP_USER is a role with all tables access right.
    1)First, check the privilege of role CT_GROUP_USER
    select table_name,privilege from dba_tab_privs where grantee='CT_GROUP_USER'
    we can see CT_GROUP_USER have ALL tables' privilege.
    2)Second, grant CT_GROUP_USER role to user DD1
    GRANT ct_group_ADMINISTRATOR to DD1 with admin option
    GRANT ct_group_USER to DD1 with admin option
    select * from dba_role_privs where grantee='DD1'
    we can see CT_GROUP_USER role here
    3)
    USE DD1 to access table ct_user, it looks DD1 did not have privilege inherited from  CT_GROUP_USER
    4) Do additional operation, grant a table privilege to DD1
    grant select,insert,update,delete on CT_ACLENTRY     to DD1 WITH GRANT OPTION
    select table_name,privilege from dba_tab_privs where grantee='DD1'
    DD1 ONLY have CT_ACLENTRY  privilege.
    USE DD1 to access ct_aclentry, it is succeed.
    5) RUN below script on Oracle 10g and Oracle 11g, User DD3 can access tables on 10g but failed on 11g.
    CREATE USER DD3 IDENTIFIED BY DD3
    GRANT CREATE SESSION TO DD3
    GRANT CT_GROUP_ADMINISTRATOR TO DD3
    GRANT CT_GROUP_USER TO DD3
    Question: Is there any setting for GRANT on Oracle 11g?
    Additional: ALTER USER DD3 DEFAULT ROLE CT_GROUP_USER
    Above command can not let DD3 access tables, DD1 neither

    1)
    we can see CT_GROUP_USER have ALL tables' privilege.
    Can we? You don't post results of this statement, you I can only assume you can see it, but I can't
    And granting ALL privileges is a bad idea anyway.
    2) Why 'with admin'?
    3)
    USE DD1 to access table ct_user, it looks DD1 did not have privilege inherited from  CT_GROUP_USER.
    For you maybe, but as you don't post any failing SQLs and any error messages, who can tell?
    5) 'but failed' on 11g.
    Please keep in mind this is a discussion room, not a chat room, and we can't see what you are doing.
    You need all these lines to ask 'My car is broke, please fix my car'. I can't see any car from here.

  • Apple disabled Apple ID when moved to new one, can not delete old from iPad

    Followed apple process to move Apple Id to a new email on my Macbook Pro.. Now can't login with original apple ID to turn off find my iPad. Appears Apple disabled it, since I know the password. Attempted to also login on Macbook Pro using the (old)previous ID and it can not be found. What to do? Was not told to disable all find my (products) before doing the Apple ID transfer process. Guess I need to completely disable devices restore and start over, if that is allowed. If I go and change the new Apple ID back to the old I will be asked to verify the old email and it has been disabled by my previous employer. Will restoring my devices using the backups on my Macbook Pro bring back the old Apple ID and get caught in a permanent loop? iPad air, iPhone 5s. Both current version 7.1.2 latest.

    If you've already tried unsuccessfully to recreate the old ID from the new one (and encountered a prompt to verify the old email address), you need to contact Apple for assistance https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.  They can also tell you if the ID is disabled or not.
    The call should be free but you will need your serial number to set it up, which you can find in Settings>General>About on your iPad.

  • Can not run Reports from a Form

    Hello,
    First: I'm completely new to Oracle, even my english is not very good - i'm sorry for that.
    Problem:
    I want to run a report from a Form using the Report Server.
    If i use:
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://tfischer:8888/reports/rwservlet?report=C:\Oracle-Projekte\testbericht.rdf&USERID=user/password@oraapp&SERVER=SrvShadow&DESFORMAT=html&DESTYPE=cache', '_blank') - everything works well.
    But if i use:
    repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('REPORT_NAME');
    v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid); - always following Error-Message appears:
    "FRM41213: Anmeldung bei Report-Server SrvShadow nicht möglich" (english: registration on Report-Server SrvShadow not possible)
    I am using:
    Windows 2000
    Oracle DS9i
    Oracle DB92 (Personal edition)
    Can somebody help me, please?
    If you need more information, to help me, please ask.

    Hi,
    Try using
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY
    (repid,REPORT_SERVER,"YOURSERVERNAME");
    before
    v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT;
    If you are testing the report on your PC using reports services on your PC then you may need to initiailize the reprots server using
    rwserver server="YOURSERVERNAME" install
    at command prompt.
    Hope this helps.

  • New monitor can not detect signal from new referb pc

     Monitor is a new flat screen,  model 2310m full HD with  vga, hdmi, and dvi-d connectors and boot up CD which includes pdf manual and video drivers etc..
             PC is a referb Pavilion M9200t first time started since referb with a G-Force GT graphics card (1 gigabite) and dual DVI-D connections. No VGA or HDMI out. OS is vista ultimate that I will probably update to windows 7 if I ever get it set up. Monitor does not get a signal from new PC with DVI-D cable or a VGA cable with an adapter. Monitor works fine with my old XP PC after installing drivers  and using the vga cable. New PC has no VGA out, so I bought a VGA to DVI-D adapter thinking that it would have proper drivers for a VGA monitor with no success. I also tried new PC on my old monitor with the DVI-D adapter on the VGA cable and that didn't work either. I can't do a first run setup without a monitor and the monitor won't work without a signal.
            I bought the PC from a friend who decieded to buy a laptop instead and had never started it. He bought it from someone who was selling referbs on E-bay and messed up and accidently started the warranty period  or so they say. 
            Also when I plug the PC in the fan starts and continues running till I do a hard shutdown, that is holding start button down till the PC shuts off. If I unplug and replug the computer it starts again without pushing start button. Does anyone think it is the graphics card issue or maybe power supply, or just not booting at all?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.------Thanks in advance.----Larry

                Ok, thats the procedure I was talking about earlier. I did that bios default factory reset just now. First the version 6 and earlier. It didn't work so I tried version 7 and later and that didn't work. I then tried version 6 and earlier again only this time pushed F10 more rapidly and got right in right when I got to the F5 and enter portion. Then I pushed F10 again to save the change and enter again to close. The PC didn't boot up the next screen like the test said it would. So I did it all again and spent some time reading what was on the bios pages but  accidently pushed ESC as the bios menu suggested instead of enter to close out   . No boot up screen again. I did another hard shutdown and then unplugged the cord for 5 minutes and this time the PC stayed off when I plugged it back in. The bios are set to default but I cannot get it to start again in safe mode or boot up. So if the power supply is working properly, and the monitor worked in safe mode, then the video card must be good. right?
              So I'm editing from the night before, its Monday morning here in Wi. and I'm sorry to say that after leaving the PC unplugged all night that when I plugged it back in this morning, the dumb thing started again without pushing the  start button.  So the only thing doing a recovery on the bios accomplished was to prove that my the video card can run the monitor in safe mode which is a good thing I guess. Hope someone has an idea as to what else I can try.-------thanks

    This you cannot control. because if it is enabled only in that case you can see it white.
    do that thing as suggested by basakar to add a new input field just besides first one with zero padding.
    One workaround is use an image instead of real input field. the image should have the input field as image.
    and besides it create the input field with width 0 and padding also zero.
    i think this can fulfill the requirement.
    Thanks

  • User can not log in

    I have a Document Center protected document - it's a test one, that simply needs a valid AdobeID and Password to open it.
    A new user can not log in and view it, older users are OK. He can log in, change has password etc, but when he tries to open the pdf, it will not accept his user name/password saying "The email address or password you entered is incorrect or you need to update your Adobe Online Centre Account. Please enter your email address or password again, or click the Manage My Account button below for help with your account". He has tried both but gets nowhere - with Manage My Account, He can log in and see his details, change password - but still can not open the pdf!
    Can anyone please help?
    I notice the link to Document Centre support now fails - is there any support for Document Center anymore?
