Hi,
I am running Solaris 10 and I am using the ftp server that comes with it. I would like to specify a specific directory as ftp user's home directory.
For example, if "ftpuserx" ftps into my solaris machine, they will automatically be taken to "/space/web" directory, even though there... (0 Replies)
Hi,
I've created solaris user which has both FTP and SFTP Access. Using the "ftpaccess" configuration file options "guest-root" and "restricted-uid", i can restrict the user to a specific directory. But I'm unable to restrict the user when the user is logged in using SFTP.
The aim is to... (1 Reply)

I found this old closed thread:
I can do these things, but how to I change someone's profile - where do I find the profile? I'm running Centos 5.6

providing you have the password shell set to ksh,
you can put this in his .profile:
cd /opt/load

Good Afternoon,
I'm trying userdel -r username on Solaris 9 and getting
UX: userdel: ERROR: unable to find status about home directory: No such file or directory

Anybody know what's causing it? (2 Replies)
Hello,
I've just started using a Solaris machine with SunOS 5.10.
After the machine is turned on, I open a Console window and at the prompt, if I execute a pwd command, it tells me I'm at my home directory (someone configured "myuser" as default user after init).

fgetpwent_r
GETPWENT_R(3) Linux Programmer's Manual GETPWENT_R(3)NAME
getpwent_r, fgetpwent_r - get passwd file entry reentrantly
SYNOPSIS
#include <pwd.h>
int getpwent_r(struct passwd *pwbuf, char *buf,
size_t buflen, struct passwd **pwbufp);
int fgetpwent_r(FILE *fp, struct passwd *pwbuf, char *buf,
size_t buflen, struct passwd **pwbufp);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
getpwent_r(), _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
fgetpwent_r(): _SVID_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
The functions getpwent_r() and fgetpwent_r() are the reentrant versions of getpwent(3) and fgetpwent(3). The former reads the next passwd
entry from the stream initialized by setpwent(3). The latter reads the next passwd entry from the stream fp.
The passwd structure is defined in <pwd.h> as follows:
struct passwd {
char *pw_name; /* username */
char *pw_passwd; /* user password */
uid_t pw_uid; /* user ID */
gid_t pw_gid; /* group ID */
char *pw_gecos; /* real name */
char *pw_dir; /* home directory */
char *pw_shell; /* shell program */
};
The nonreentrant functions return a pointer to static storage, where this static storage contains further pointers to user name, password,
gecos field, home directory and shell. The reentrant functions described here return all of that in caller-provided buffers. First of all
there is the buffer pwbuf that can hold a struct passwd. And next the buffer buf of size buflen that can hold additional strings. The
result of these functions, the struct passwd read from the stream, is stored in the provided buffer *pwbuf, and a pointer to this struct
passwd is returned in *pwbufp.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return 0 and *pwbufp is a pointer to the struct passwd. On error, these functions return an error value and
*pwbufp is NULL.
ERRORS
ENOENT No more entries.
ERANGE Insufficient buffer space supplied. Try again with larger buffer.
CONFORMING TO
These functions are GNU extensions, done in a style resembling the POSIX version of functions like getpwnam_r(3). Other systems use proto-
type
struct passwd *
getpwent_r(struct passwd *pwd, char *buf, int buflen);
or, better,
int
getpwent_r(struct passwd *pwd, char *buf, int buflen,
FILE **pw_fp);
NOTES
The function getpwent_r() is not really reentrant since it shares the reading position in the stream with all other threads.
EXAMPLE
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <pwd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#define BUFLEN 4096
int
main(void)
{
struct passwd pw, *pwp;
char buf[BUFLEN];
int i;
setpwent();
while (1) {
i = getpwent_r(&pw, buf, BUFLEN, &pwp);
if (i)
break;
printf("%s (%d) HOME %s SHELL %s
", pwp->pw_name,
pwp->pw_uid, pwp->pw_dir, pwp->pw_shell);
}
endpwent();
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
