How to troubleshoot for user authentication on samba share?

Dear All

I need your help.
I want to get a file from windows server using ftp.
Below is the script I have created but the connection is not established:

#!/bin/sh

lcd "directory in linux server"
USER="username of windows server"
PASS="password"

ftp -n "ip of windows server" <<EOF
user $USER $PASS

cd "C:\Users... directory in windows server where file is located"
bin
get test1234.txt

bye

EOF

I hope somebody can help me!
BR,

I have a shell script that calls an expect script I wrote to ssh login to another host and get user input regarding that host's network configuration. I pass four arguments to the expect script: the remote host ip address, the username, the password, and the list of commands to run. My expect script is below:

#!/usr/bin/expect
# Usage: expectssh <host> <ssh user> <ssh password> <script>

set timeout 60
set prompt "(%|#|\\$) $"
set commands [lindex $argv 3];

spawn ssh [lindex $argv 1]@[lindex $argv 0]

expect {
"*assword:" {
send -- "[lindex $argv 2]\r"
expect -re "$prompt"
send -- "$commands\r"
}

"you sure you want to continue connecting" {
send -- "yes\r"
expect "*assword:"
send -- "[lindex $argv 2]\r"
expect -re "$prompt"
send -- "$commands\r"
}

timeout {
exit }

expect -re $prompt
send -- "exit\r"
}

The script runs well, except that if I send a command such as 'read' that requires user input, the script does not continue or exit after the user presses enter. It just hangs.

The commands I pass to the expect script and it's call are as follows:
SCRIPT='hostname > response.txt;netstat -rn;read net_card?"What is the network interface card number? " >> response.txt; read net_mask?"What is the subnet mask? " >> response.txt'

/usr/bin/expect ./expectssh.exp $hostip $usr $pswd "$SCRIPT"

Any suggestions on how I can pass a command to my expect script that requires user input without it hanging?

On a side note because I know it will come up - I am not allowed to do key-based automatic SSH login. I have to prompt for a username and password, which is done from my main shell script.

Thanks for any suggestions and help you can provide!

Hi,

I am running awk command on remote server it is not giving desired results but if i run the same command on local server. it works as expected. Can anybody help me to resolve this and let me know the logic behind this?

Remote server

# ssh test 'free -g | grep Mem | awk -F " " '{ print $2 }''
awk: cmd. line:1: {
awk: cmd. line:1: ^ unexpected newline or end of string

local server
# free -g | grep Mem | awk -F " " '{ print $2 }'

Thanks in advance.

Hi

RHEL 6.4 (64 Bit) is running as a Virutal Machine in a VCenter Server 5.5
As per our request, Vmware team added 500GB of disk space to this VM. Disk is not visible in "fdisk -l" after run the following command/script, but the new disk could be seen from the "multipath -l" command.

for i in `ls -ld /sys/class/scsi_host/host* | awk '{print $9}' `
do
echo "- - -" > $i/scan
done

Could someone clarify why it is not visible in "fdisk -l" output?

I'm not sure if this should be in the newbie section, but I am somewhat of a newbie, so here goes:

In a home network, I have an Xubuntu file server with a Samba share that has me as the owner and authorizes me to access the share.

On another computer, I have Mint running and providing various services, including webdav on Apache with SSL. In the var/www/webdav directory of the Mint computer, I have the Xubuntu Samba share mounted. This is supposed to allow me to access the Samba share from the public internet.

Everything works fine except for one big problem: Apache requires the owner of the webdav directory to be user "www-data," and I can't figure out how to give www-data access to the Samba share, since www-data is not a user on the Xubuntu computer, and moreover I don't know the password for user www-data.

Can anyone figure out how to get around this problem? In particular, is there a way to configure the Samba share on the Xubuntu computer so that user www-data on the Mint computer can have access to it?

(Incidentally, I have my reasons for using two computers, one as a file server and one as a web server. Also, I am thinking about switching to NFS instead of Samba, but I'm not sure if even that would solve my problem.)

Hello.
How can I write an Script that enter my password for "sudo" command automatically?
for example, I want to run a command that need root permission and when I write it in a bash script, it ask me "sudo" password for user but how can I automate it?
Can it possible for other program like logging via SSH too?

Thank you.

Hello All,

Under root we create a user named "template" using the adduser command which is used to setup a kde GUI logon screen for all users. When a user's name is initially used to sign on we get a window on the GUI that states "Run as Template. The action you requested needs additional privileges. Please enter password for template." (Note: No password for template is used.) There are four files that have been observed:
/usr/bin/hp-systray-session (followed by numbers)
/usr/bin/akonadi_agent_launcher-session (follwed by numbers)
/usr/bin/khelpcenter-session (followed by numbers)
/usr/bin/nepomukcontroller-session (followed by numbers).

When we logout then log back in,this window does not appear again on the GUI.

Any help for this one?

Thanks.

Regards,

Jeff
