Nobody User Account Passwd Shows Expired

t is that the passwd I changed to will not log me in and I chaged the passwd twice to make sure that it was not a typing error.

I did manage to create an account that I am using but I cant update packages or do much with it.

I have read shadow pat to passwd file but I am not sure what I am supposed to do with the file.

I have a feeling its got to do with keys on his account but I dont know much about that to reset them.

Can anyone help me with that?

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.

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!

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?

thank you.

Since this morning i have a problem with logging in on my user account in Linux Mint 17.1 Mate. After entering the password I get a black screen. Logging in as guest (without password) works fine.
How can I get back to my user account.

Ok so, i want to create a SFTP account, that has access to edit/delete/move/upload/download files inside its homefolder and to all the other files/folders that are inside the homefolder.
The account should not be able to go back from the homefolder, like if the home folder is /home/servers it cannot go back to /home..
And the account should not be able to login to SSH.

I created a new user on my Fedora 21 system so I could demo Fedora and apps to coworkers without leaving my personal account exposed. After logging into the account I launched Firefox and verified connectivity without any problems. Then I launched Libre office and got the following nastygram
Code:

 The application cannot be started. 
LibreOffice user installation could not be processed due to missing access rights. Please make sure that you have sufficient access rights for the following location and restart LibreOffice:

/home/fedorademo/.config/libreoffice/4 

This looks like a variation of the folders being owned by root but that isn't the case with this account as everything is owned by the new account.
Code:

And so on
I've tried it with an admin account and a standard account in Fedora 21 and both fail.
I tried it with a standard account in Fedora 20 and it worked.
Fedora 20 is running a slightly older version of Libreoffice 4.2.8.2-2.fc20
Fedora 21 is running 4.3.5.2-11.fc21. Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated. Right now I can't tell if it is a LibreOffice problem or a Fedora problem. Thanks for reading

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?

Hi all,

I am slackware 14.0 user. Recently I face one problem. As a root i can change one of my normal user's (assuming Peter) password. However, when I login as Peter, and try to change the password, the system does not allow me to renew my password.


root@slackwa /etc# ls -la | grep shadow
-rw-r----- 1 root shadow 9 Nov 29 2013 gshadow
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Jun 20 2013 gshadow-
-rw-r----- 1 root shadow 2272 Apr 12 22:44 shadow
-rw------- 1 root root 2274 Apr 12 21:40 shadow-
root@slackwa /etc# ls -la | grep passwd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2362 Apr 12 12:58 passwd
-rw------- 1 root root 2306 Jan 8 17:38 passwd-
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2305 Aug 11 2014 passwd~


peter@slackwa ~$ which passwd
/usr/bin/passwd
peter@slackwa ~$ ls -la /usr/bin/passwd
-rws--x--x 1 root root 68725 Sep 14 2012 /usr/bin/passwd*

peter@slackwa ~$ passwd
Changing password for peter
Old password:
Incorrect password for peter.
The password for peter is unchanged.

One thing I can assure is the password I input is correct. I have another slackware 14 running on Dell R410, but it does not has this problem.


Please kindly advice. Thank you.
