@Timothy, This is a 7 year old thread. Locking......

Deleting the user and redoing might not work... You might need to chown youruser:allusers /home/youruserfoldr as root. This will allow you access to your home folder as well as adding you to the allusers group. I am not sure why the user is not added to the allusers group on creation. I have created users and had no problem, as well as having to manually add to allusers group upon creation.

Ok so iv got round it.

It would appear that deleting then re-creating the user works.

Hi all.
I could not find the shell-extension in the market place, so I did "yum install app-shell-extension-core".

I now get the option to change shell access in webconfig but it dose not seem to work.

When I sellect an option then click update all I get in my browser is "Disallowed Key Characters."

Any idears on how to fix this? And particular log files I should be looking at?

Thanks in advance

P.S ClearOS 6.3 64-Bit

I'll talk to Pete on that one...I don't recall, but I think we probably specifically do not show this in Marketplace because users tend to 'install the kitchen sink', and we really want to discourage installing this extension unless you really need it. And if you really need it, you know all about accessing the shell.

But..we do need to some how make this information easily available so you're not spending hours wondering why someone else has the shell options, but not you.

Is this extension supposed to show up in the Marketplace?

Apparently not, at least for now.

Yup, done with chmod.
Thx Kenan.

that means the markus user is not owner for the markus folder

I tried to see permission , i got this :

[root@cyanogen home]# ls -al

total 20

drwxr-xr-x.  5 root   root     4096 Aug 28 19:10 .

dr-xr-xr-x. 24 root   root     4096 Aug  9 14:44 ..

drwx------   2   1002 allusers 4096 Aug 28 08:57 markus

What it means 1002 ?

Try this:

chown markus:markus /home/markus
chmod 0700 /home/markus

Try to login as markus:
su - markus

if it can't solution then delete user and create again choose as /bin/bash

Hi All
I already create a new user (markus) on ClearOS 6.3 and choose bash for login shell, but i had an error like this, when i accessing via putty.

Could not chdir to home directory /home/markus: Permission denied

-bash: /home/markus/.bash_profile: Permission denied

-bash-4.1$

It seems something wrong with permission. Any idea?

I'm glad.
Thank you Ben.

Kenan

Thanks: now it is and it works. Had to use yum though to install it. Is this extension supposed to show up in the Marketplace?

Is app-shell-extension-core installed?

Adding shell access to users is now an extension...goto the Marketplace and search for "Shell" and install the extension...or run:

yum install app-shell-extension-core

Amounts to same thing.

When you next go back to the user manager, you should see the Shell options.

Marcel,

Were probably looking at a different version version of the User app(?): see screenshot attached.
[file name=user.zip size=64565]http://www.clearfoundation.com/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/files/user.zip[/file]

Go to system --> user --> (select user) edit --> (login shell) /bin/bash. Now you have shell access for the user selected.

Can't find this on 6.3 as well.
If you change the attribute manually in the LDAP (e.g. using the LDAP administration tool on an Ubuntu client), you get login on clients and server and can spare yourself the effort of changing ldap.conf files on all clients.

I have 6.2 with updates and can't see this option at all in the web interface but I did manage to find a workaround that may work for you.

On the client /etc/openldap.conf add this line
nss_override_attribute_value loginShell /bin/bash

I assume your using 6.3? this tweak is not needed any more, you can specify the users login shell when you create the user (default is /sbin/nologon means no shell access)
