Router Username And Password

Hi guys, my computer is downstairs in the cold basement and I wanted a way to practice my online terminal course in the comfort of my rocking chair upstairs in the pleasant surroundings. I downloaded a terminal app for the iPad and it's asking me for some info. Could any of you tell me where to find it please?

Host - I typed in host name into the terminal and it gave me the details at the prompt.

Username - which username? Do I make one up or the username for the computer I'm trying to log into? How do I find the username?

Password - which password? The one to log into my home?

I guess these things work via some network/ remote thingy??????? It's not bluetooth so Im guessing I need to somehow log into that computer as a guest or admin or something?

I am experiencing a strange issue where squid asks me to authenticate twice. Here is how it goes:

I have my Firefox browser set to go out my squid proxy. Whenever I open the browser I am prompted for my username and password, which I enter. Immediately the browser fetches my homepage, however, at almost the exact same time I am prompted to enter my username and password again.

Clearly the I entered the correct information the first time or the browser would never load my homepage. The odd part is that sometimes I can just cancel the second request for a username and password without issue. Other times I MUST enter it to continue browsing.

Here is a copy of my config: http://pastebin.com/mdM7gfLf

Any ideas on what is going on here? Thanks in advance to anyone who has some thoughts on this.

Hi, I downloaded an ISO linux file for my Vmware it was with a read me file that show the login details into the OS. Now have finished the installation of the ISO on my Vmware but the problem I have is it not accepting the login details that came with the ISO I download.
this was the login that came with the ISO:

standard user:
username: user
password: password

administrative user:
username: root
password: password
It not accepting any of it I want to know if I did something wrong or there is master login deatils I can use to get to the desktop.
Am a real newbie this is my first time of dealing with Linux your answers will be appreciated a lot. Thanks.

Wow, I got my new Linux pc yesterday and it's very very fast. It's faster than my new MacBook.
So I go to the user account which also says administrator so I'm presuming that's the root owner?????? and I typed in my name and changed the password. The guy who sold it to me named the password user and the computer user. Yet when I go to the terminal my username and computer is still called user@user
How do I change the root password and computer name?

# cat /etc/*-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 8)

Normally I would run this command:
subscription-manager register --username 'username' --password 'password'

but I am getting:
subscription-manager: command not found

I am wondering, with using

# rhn_register

How can I associate my login and password to assign this system to my Red Hat account?

Hi all. My first time post and very new to linux.
I am using linux Mint Debian version.

My goal is to auto mount 2 external harddrives (Each hard drive is 2TB) attached to the 2 usb ports on my asus wireless router model rt-n56r.

I have succeeded in auto mounting my first drive HDD1 by configuring fstab file:

//192.168.1.1/HDD1 /media/public cifs username=**,password=**,rw,nounix,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

At boot this partition is mounted without issue.

In attempting to mount the second hard drive HDD2 I added another entry in fstab as follows:

//192.168.1.1/HDD2 /media/public cifs username=**,password=**,rw,nounix,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

It appears that both HDD1 and HDD2 mount however, when entering the partition only files and directories of the second hard drive appear.

So I changed the mount point in the second hard drive to reflect /media1/public1 and after the configuration neither hard drive appears to have mounted.

I tried using UUID instead of path to partition but cannot get even 1 attached hard drive to mount.

I appreciate in advance the help and assistance to my query.

Hi - I have the most aggravating problem. On my RHEL 5.2 w/s using gnome (or KDE), if you select "lock screen" from the pulldown and then try to unlock the screen with your password you logged in successfully with in the first place, it comes back shaking it's head INCORRECT PASSWORD. I did some digging and the /var/log/secure file is spitting out:

gnome-screensaver-dialog: pam_unix(gnome-screensaver:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=500 euid=500 tty=0.0 ruser= rhost= user=username

Then below that also:

gnome-screensaver-dialog: pam_unix(gnome-screensaver:auth): auth could not identify password for [username]

I find this is happening on a few of my other RHEL systems too: RHEL 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5.

Help!

Hi, does anyone know the username and password of the live Cylon linux? The Operation System locked the screen and now it requires a username and password, I honestly dont know what it is. I booted in live from a USB drive. Ill appreciate any help to solve this little problem, cheers for all Linux users!

Hello,

I have CentOS 6.5 deployed as a VM on VMware ESXi. I want to force user to force password change even when they use VMware's vSphere client to access the VM console.

I tried the following two commands -

Code:

chage -d 0 username

Code:

passwd -e username

These commands force password change only when we start a SSH session for that user, not if that user access the VM directly via the client console. How do I achieve a force password change even when it is accessed via the client console?

Thanks
