| Post subject: | Creating user account during R6.02 install |
How do you create a non-root and non-mythtv user if you installed from the R6.02 CD? I believe the R6.01 CD had an input screen for that functionality; I can't find it now. Under the Service Menu>LinHES Configuration menu there is an entry for User Accounts, but when selected, it tells me I do not have access to this screen. If I look under the Access Control menu, there is no checkbox to enable access to user accounts. For now, I've had to assign a password to root and allow root logins over ssh in order to remotely log in to my LinHES box. Thanks for you help. |

I'm going from memory here, but I think it goes like this: As root, type Code: passwd
and it will prompt you for the root password. As root, use the adduser command to create a non-root, non-mythtv user. You will be able to use that account to ssh into the system. |

If you want to assign a password to Mythtv user, as root type Code: passwd mythtv
it will ask you for a new password and to confirm the password. BTW I thought my install went weird when I missed the password page. |

Hi, I have installed r6.02, I have manually added Webmin as per the Wiki http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=webminhowto I can open Webmin in a web browser on another computer but if I use the name root and enter a password as per this thread to fails to log in. I also created a new user and tried to log in as the new user and that does not work as well. Can someone tell me what going wrong? thanks |

Just figured it out...... did this part in the Wiki If your root password does not work when logging in to webmin, open a terminal on the mythbox with Alt-x and type: su /opt/webmin/changepass.pl /etc/webmin root your_desired_password |

Hi, More details about non-root and non-mythtv user creation may be found within the thread adduser -m -G {groups} -s. For instance regarding group membership: christ wrote: I just did a quick check and my regular user is a member of its own group. ie. user=myuser and group=myuser. It is also members of the following groups: root video audio optical storage users Just to make it easier for readers, here is the command that creates a user: Code: useradd -m -G root,video,audio,optical,storage,users -s /bin/bash yourusername We should take note also of that helpful comment (see the thread User creation page not accessible): tjc wrote: You need to enable that screen. It's disabled after the install for security reasons. Enabling the modules is under another screen of the service menus so it's not terribly secure. See Flyspray ticket #564. BTW, Flyspray has been superseded by redmine. Here is ticket #564. See also ticket #643 and ticket #196. winnpeny wrote: If I look under the Access Control menu, there is no checkbox to enable access to user accounts.
If I understand Cecil's answer in the right way, the check-box is missing under R6.02.00, and the bug is going to be fixed in one of the coming updates. Bye. |
