Proftpd Userlist Creation With New Idea

proftpd is running in port 2222. Vendor user "ABC" logs in successfully. When I check the /var/log/proftpd/sftpd.log file I see strange things, time stamp changes from 11:xx to 10:xx during user ABC login..!

Any thougs on this?

I need to be able to create new user accounts and make sure they're forced to reset their password upon first login, also if they don't log in within 4 days of the account creation their account must automatically lock. How do I accomplish this?

Hello,

I am setting up a linux server for gaming and I am using a script to update the files automatically and create a folder with a certain name.

Code:

# !/bin/bash

# A convenience function, to save us some work
update_server() {
	# Read the app id and the directory into a variable

	APP_ID=$1
	DIR=$2

	# Create the directory ( if it does not exist already )
	if [ ! -d "$HOME/$DIR" ]; then
		mkdir -p "$HOME/$DIR"
	fi

	# Uh-oh, it looks like we still have no directory. Report an error.
	if [ ! -d "$HOME/$DIR" ]; then
		# Describe what went wrong
		echo "ERROR! Cannot create directory $HOME/$DIR!"

		# Exit with status code 1 ( which indicates an error )
		exit 1
	fi

	# Call SteamCMD with the app ID we provided and tell it to install
	./bin/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir "$HOME/$DIR" +app_update $APP_ID validate +quit
}

# Now the script actually runs update_server ( which we just declared above ) with the id of the application ( 4020 is Garry's Mod ) and the name of the directory we want the server to be hosted from:

update_server 4020 "gmodserver"

exit 0

When I run this script, it creates 2 folders on my server : gmodserver and gmodserver? There is no files downloaded in gmodserver. All the files are downloaded in gmodserver?

I looked for a few hours on how to solve this problem but I have no idea what the added ? might be so I am lost as to what to look for. Could you help me on figuring this out?

Thank you.

edit : I am using ubuntu 15.04 x64 if it makes a difference.

I just created a Guest user account. When I rebooted, it went right into the Guest Account, without allowing me to choose and log in to the admin account. I tried Login Window and New Login in Administration panel. I tried Logout, but nothing happened when trying.

After install linux and configured a user to what I want (e.g.
Desktop settings, Firefox settings etc.) - how can I copy this entire setup to a newly create user?

Appreciate any advise.

A few of my servers show that this user id has expired.

I know that this is the name of a user account and group account and if I check out /etc/passwd there is an entry under /sbin/nologin. And, if I check under say top -u nobody, I don't see anything running for that user account. However that is the extent of my knowledge on this user account.

Should I be concerned that the passwd for this account is expired or are there cron jobs/programs that rely on this account?

thanks
