Special Forums UNIX Desktop Questions & Answers Why can't I save a VI file after entering data? Post 302394213 by TonyFullerMalv on Wednesday 10th of February 2010 06:59:36 PM

In Ubuntu one does not normally need the root password because you use sudo instead, so my mentioning root password applies to other industry Unix es.
In Ubuntu your account is an administrator account by virtue of being in the admin group. My account in Ubuntu is in the following groups:
tony@laptop:~$ groups
tony adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare newgroup
tony@laptop:~$

On the ~/.exrc file question you either edit it using vi to add the "set number" line OR you use the echo method to add it to the end of the file, either way if there was no ~/.exrc file presnet before then it should only contain the line:
Code:
set number

NAME
newgrp - log in to a new group SYNOPSIS
newgrp [-] [group] DESCRIPTION
The newgrp command is used to change the current group ID during a login session. If the optional - flag is given, the user's environment will be reinitialized as though the user had logged in, otherwise the current environment, including current working directory, remains unchanged. newgrp changes the current real group ID to the named group, or to the default group listed in /etc/passwd if no group name is given. newgrp also tries to add the group to the user groupset. If not root, the user will be prompted for a password if she does not have a password (in /etc/shadow if this user has an entry in the shadowed password file, or in /etc/passwd otherwise) and the group does, or if the user is not listed as a member and the group has a password. The user will be denied access if the group password is empty and the user is not listed as a member. If there is an entry for this group in /etc/gshadow, then the list of members and the password of this group will be taken from this file, otherwise, the entry in /etc/group is considered. CONFIGURATION
The following configuration variables in /etc/login.defs change the behavior of this tool: SYSLOG_SG_ENAB (boolean) Enable "syslog" logging of sg activity. FILES
/etc/passwd User account information. /etc/shadow Secure user account information. /etc/group Group account information. /etc/gshadow Secure group account information. SEE ALSO
id(1), login(1), su(1), sg(1), gpasswd(1), group(5), gshadow(5). shadow-utils 4.5 01/25/2018 NEWGRP(1)
