Difference Between Admin Account And Normal Account

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.

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

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.

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.

Please help me.. i need to get this working...
I'm using CentOS 6.6 64bit
I've followed multiple tutorials, none of them have worked.

I have Debian 7.7 and have just installed Icedove email client.
I want to create a free email address so I can have a new email account.

When I launch Icedove, I get a window saying 'Would you like a new email address?'
It then offers a search button for email addresses. Why? If I create an address it will need to be unique - so there's nothing for it to find.
Also, I input an email address I want and it seemed to be saying that the propietary host server (in this case gandi.net) wanted £4 ($6) for the account.

Can someone please say a little more about Icedove? Believe me, there is little to learn from Youtube and the internet.

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.

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

hello there,
OK here is the problem;
Whenever I try to start my laptop the grub menu loads as usually, it starts booting but upon completion, there is this blinking cursor and screen and then nothing. It started when I logged out of one of my account and logged into Root account and again logged out of the root account. That was the time when this thing started.
I dont know what happened. I researched, found lots of threads but with no help..
There is no any graphics card in the laptop. (so couldnt be a driver issue i think)
Edited the grub ( quite splash nomodeset, etc etc,, but didnt work )
I really dont know what to do at this stage,
P.S i am a noob though.

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?

Hello,

I just configured proftpd and it's working fine, but i had a doubt "How to create a new user list" and also how to create a new login form by that clients can create their own account without the knowledge of admin, and the information about the user need to store in server. Anyone tried the above scenario? If yes please let me know how!
