I'm a nubie, please excuse my ignorance, (not my stupidity) and my omissions at researching possible resources for I'm confused by the descriptions of the multiple applications.
Using ubuntu 14.04 dist with apache2 installation; not sure how to go about creating a discussion group that would (more or less) be unavailable to the casual hacker: e.g. security but not extreme.
Trying to try and sell the idea to media/computer savy young adults.
Simple idea is to have issues, and discussion threads to initiate/respond to various different issues. Possibly links to related issues/responses.
I've been looking at mutt write-up trying to figure out if it will help me achieve my goal. (Goal: Set up a private discussion group using internet/gmail to contact family members).
What else?
Can we use iphone dictation/text conversion in responding to issues. e.g message mailed to email that appears as a response to a discussion issue.
Using lenovo desktop as server/main PC.
Any report of existing similar system(s) in part or whole is sincerely appreciated.
Thanks

Dear Linux Gurus, how to view all group members?
my code snippet is like below:
groupadd yy
useradd -g yy u1
useradd -g yy u2
useradd -g yy u3
useradd -G yy u4
when i wanted to view the group members of group 'yy' in /etc/group, it only shows secondary group member i.e only u4. what is the problem? Why not showing other group members-u1,u2,u3?
I also used commands getent and groupmems, but they are showing only secondary group members i.e only u4 not others.
But when I used 'system-config-users', in group page, it shows all the users.
My doubt is how to view all the users belonging to group yy in terminal. which command to use?
Thanks in advance.
sorry for the grammatical mistakes.
Hello, I'm sort of a novice Linux user and was running into an issue with user migration. I'm trying to migrate users and groups from a RHEL 5.11 install to a CentOS 6.6 install, both systems are 64 bit. Initially I tried to do an rsync of the passwd, shadow, group and gshadow files with no luck. When trying to login with an existing account on the new server I get access denied. I tried to change the password on the new server, but even then it doesn't seem to change the password and I still get access denied. I then tried to tar up the four above files and then extracted them on the new server, but the same issue existed. I also created a new account on the old server, copied all the necessary files over to the new server and still have the same issues. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong or what I can try next? This is getting frustrating!
Thanks!
So, I have created a group and added myself to it.
When I open /etc/group I can see the group and it shows that I am a member, but when I run $ groups - it doesn't show the new group in the list. What could be the issue?

hi guys,
busy doing a small project with a centos7 server and virtualbox.
currently i have a login to the physical server called sninja
i have three partitions created for each of my virtual machines
sninja owns the directories for each vm...and root is the primary group...now lets say i wanted to have other users perform functions on my vm's ..ssh in,rsync data into the vm etc...
whats the best way to address security and user accounts etc?
what i was thinking:
create a group called Myusers1,then assign the users to that group and then make the group the primary group of the accessed directories etc
is this the right way to go about it? any ideas or help really appreciated...
Directory /media/data/torrents/ has permissions 775, user yzt, group transmission
yzt and debian-transmission are members of the group transmission.
transmission-daemon is run by debian-transmission, and the new files it downloads have permissions 644, owner debian-transmission, group transmission. This is a problem, because I can't later move the files as my user, yzt, and need to be switching to root to change the permissions/ownership to be able to do so.
Using sticky bit I could copy it to anywhere else, but I'm interested on actually moving the file, not just copying it. I could run transmission-daemon as yzt and problem solved, but I rather have that internet facing service running by a limited user, just in case some vulnerability is found on Transmission.
So my question is, how can I set that every new file created under /media/data/torrents/ has permissions 775 like its parent directory?

Hello everyone,
I need a little bit of help. I am attempting to install a couple of web based applications, (loganalyzer and rancid). I am running Debian Wheezy and I am creating two separate directories (/var/www/loganalyzer and /var/www/rancid). My overall goal is to be able to connect to these different applications on the same server by typing in the following urls (http://IP_address/loganalyzer and http://IP_address/rancid) respectively.
I am beating my head against the wall configuring the Apache web service. I cannot get these applications to pull up. All I get is a blank screen with both instances.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to help me get this task completed? I truly appreciate the help and if there is any other information you need from me please let me know.
Hello,
I am having issues connecting to my linux box (opensuse 11.3) from my Window 7 sytem. I am using FileZilla. When I attempt to connect I get this error message
Status: Connecting to 192.168.198.205...
Response: fzSftp started
Command: open "Mike@192.168.198.205" 22
Command: Trust new Hostkey: Once
Command: Pass: *********
Error: Authentication failed.
Error: Critical error
Error: Could not connect to server
I am thinking it is a setup on issue on my Linux box but not sure what to change at this point. I must have some settings correct, because I am able to remote into my Linux box using FreeNX. Any help would be appreciated
I am toying around with a LFS system and I am suddenly having trouble with sudo not finding binaries in the standard superuser only binary dirs (/sbin /usr/sbin). I am using sudo version 1.8.10p3. The sudoers file parses correctly and I did not modify except to allow users in the wheel group to be able use sudo to call any command. So I imaging something is wrong with the $PATH variable but I am not sure on what it is.
