| 00:36.43 | Drizzt321|laptop | IGHT808: if its a 2nd drive and nothing you want to keep on it, feel free to put whatever on there |
| 00:36.56 | Drizzt321|laptop | IGHT808: unless, that is, it is going to be your linux drive, and dual boot with windows |
| 00:37.32 | ardy | how do you see the total list of users on a machine (not only the ones logged on) |
| 00:37.49 | IGHT808 | so a 700mb boot, a 18 gig logical and the rest in swap would be ok for a dual boot |
| 00:37.56 | keenan | ardy: /etc/passwd |
| 00:38.21 | IGHT808 | the 20 gig is a seperate hd |
| 00:38.40 | IGHT808 | winblows is on the first |
| 00:38.41 | ardy | how do I create a user |
| 00:38.44 | Drizzt321|laptop | IGHT808: do you currently have windows installed on the machine on the primary hdd? |
| 00:38.44 | Drizzt321|laptop | IGHT808: ah, ok |
| 00:38.52 | keenan | ardy: adduser |
| 00:38.54 | Drizzt321|laptop | ardy: adduser, or useradd depending on how you want to do it |
| 00:39.08 | Drizzt321|laptop | IGHT808: you really don't need 700meg for /boot |
| 00:39.14 | IGHT808 | k |
| 00:39.30 | ardy | how do I see the list of possible groups? |
| 00:39.36 | Wyzard | IGHT808: If you're making a separate partition for /boot, 50MB would be plenty |
| 00:39.36 | Drizzt321|laptop | IGHT808: you can just as easily leave it up to the installer if you really don't know much |
| 00:39.39 | Drizzt321|laptop | ardy: cat /etc/groups |
| 00:39.57 | IGHT808 | debian does that? |
| 00:40.19 | Wyzard | does what? |
| 00:40.21 | ardy | Drizzt321|laptop: hi again... ;) that file doen't exist |
| 00:40.21 | Drizzt321|laptop | IGHT808: I'd say if you really want a boot, 50megs or so is good, then probably 1gig or so for swap if you are planning on running ALOT of programs, or 256-512 depending how much ram you have |
| 00:40.28 | Drizzt321|laptop | Wyzard: partition his hdd |
| 00:40.28 | keenan | IGHT808: yeah, the debian installer has a nice auto-partitioner |

| 00:40.59 | ardy | Drizzt321|laptop: yeah.. ok.. cool its group |
| 00:41.08 | Drizzt321|laptop | ardy: yea, I always forget which |

| 00:41.23 | keenan | hmm, how do i create a user with a blank password? |
| 00:41.43 | keenan | i tried it with adduser but it said "no password supplied" and quit |
| 00:41.45 | Drizzt321|laptop | keenan: why no password? |
| 00:41.54 | keenan | a guest user for random people |
| 00:41.56 | Drizzt321|laptop | keenan: thats a bad thing |
| 00:41.58 | IGHT808 | so, in recap, when installing debian I should just let the installer handle all functions for partitioning |
| 00:42.05 | Drizzt321|laptop | keenan: so make it guest or something |
| 00:42.10 | keenan | why, i'd make sure they had no privileges |
| 00:42.14 | thoreauputic | keenan: don't even think about it |
| 00:42.15 | Drizzt321|laptop | IGHT808: might not be a bad idea |
| 00:42.22 | kerpal | thomas_adam: sorry dialup would mean it would be about half hour before i could hand it to you. |
| 00:42.39 | thomas_adam | kerpal: No worries, I'll beat it out of jm_ |
| 00:43.02 | IGHT808 | thx alot drizzt321 |
| 00:43.07 | Drizzt321|laptop | keenan: so you just want to let _ANYONE_ to login onto your box with a 'guest' user acct? |
| 00:43.08 | Drizzt321|laptop | IGHT808: np |
| 00:43.19 | keenan | why not? |
| 00:43.23 | Drizzt321|laptop | keenan: or only whatever random users read a given forum or whatever? |
| 00:43.33 | Drizzt321|laptop | keenan: because of local root exploits that occasionally pop up |
| 00:44.10 | mentor | keenan: LRE? |
| 00:44.13 | keenan | well there'd still be that problem if the password was "guest" or something |
| 00:44.53 | Drizzt321|laptop | keenan: is this basically you want to let a bunch of friends/associates/forum you frequent people access as a guest? |
| 00:45.04 | Drizzt321|laptop | keenan: if so, it'd be much safer to have some kind of password |
| 00:45.22 | keenan | ok, i understand, but it should still be possible |
| 00:45.25 | Drizzt321|laptop | keenan: thereby reducing the chance of a random person gaining access to your machine and using it as a proxy |
| 00:45.31 | VChriZZ | following problem: im using this script here: http://blog.flcd.org/david/archives/000223.html - i use it as cronjob for shoutcast which runs as user wwwftp (also the user for pure-ftpd) |
| 00:45.38 | keenan | anyway nobody answered my other question, how to start the xscreensaver daemon when i log into X |
| 00:45.40 | VChriZZ | error: /bin/sh: /www/members/yucafe.com/apps/sc_serv01/sc_watch.pl: /usr/bin/perl: bad interpreter: Permission denied |
| 00:46.49 | keenan | i read about sysv-style init scripts but i don't think that'll work because X needs to be running first for xscreensaver to start |
| 00:46.49 | ardy | Drizzt321|laptop: so If I want to make a 'guest' user with no home directory what group would it be part of? |
| 00:47.21 | Drizzt321|laptop | ardy: whatever group you wanted, nogroup may be a semi-safe group to put it as, but I would make up another group for it |
