Hi everyone out there.
I recently upgraded a RedHat 5.2 to Mandrake 6.0 and i've got two
problems :
- the machine is shared by lots of people who don't care about sharing
the same unprivileged environnment, all they want to do is enable the
PPP link to Internet and launch Netscape, and also be able to get files
they downloaded from the 'net via FTP
So i had an 'everybody' account no password, and everything worked fine.
Now, this account does not work anyome without a password, so i had to
'chpasswd' this user providing a 'CR' password', but people now have to
hit 'Return' to login, which is not the initial behaviour. Anyone knows
how to a have a blank password so that we get back :
Linux login : everybody (CR)
Hello Everybody.
Everybody $
instead of the actual
Linux login : everybody (CR)
PASSWORD : (CR)
Hello everybody.
Everybody $
Also, when people now use the ftp service, whatever user they log as,
when they type in the password, the ftp-daemon gets 'password' (as seen
from the /var/log/messages file) and then disconnects true users since
the password doesn't match... Anyone knowing why ?
Thanks
Didier
