Bruno Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Colin,Log out and log back in as "root" ( password "root" ) . . then open a konsole and: # passwd it will ask you for your new ROOT password, give it and give it again to confirm.After that ( if you not already did that ): # adduser kamicota That will make the user kamicota and next # passwd kamicota will ask you for the new password for the user "kamicota" give it and confirm itAnd then you are ready to delete the user Guest: # userdel guest Then we are ready to log out again and log in as kamicota !

Bruno Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Great Colin . . . so that did work okay !!Now the updates ! . . . start synaptic and as you press "refresh" and it gets the lists from the mirror check if it is "nluug" . . . . then upgrade your system !After the updates we have to check the /apt/sources.list again to see if it has not been replaced by the updates . . . so do the updates, reboot, and do # cat /etc/apt/sources.list Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 userdel: error removing shadow group entryBruno, that sounds like userdel had a problem deleting the GROUP "guest" Yep Adam . . but the user guest is gone and we changed the rootpassword, so all is safe from hackers ( crackers ) :DB) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Doesn't work from the console into the posting but DOES from the posting to the consoleColinStrange !!Well anyway let me explain . . . . this is the file . . . only I inserted white lines so you can see the different sections:#PCLINUXOS apt repository#rpm http://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/pclinuxos/apt/ pclinuxos/2004 os updates texstar#rpm ftp://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/metalab/distributions/contrib/texstar/pclinuxos/apt/ pclinuxos/2004 os updates texstarrpm ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/metalab/distributions/contrib/texstar/pclinuxos/apt/ pclinuxos/2004 os updates texstar#rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/mirrors/sunsite/distributions/contrib/texstar/pclinuxos/apt/ pclinuxos/2004 os updates texstar You will see that ONLY the line with nluug has NO "#" mark at the beginning . . . that is good and the only right one . . . . so after updating you have to check with # cat /etc/apt/sources.list if that is still the case . . . . if it is not you just do the # cp  sources.list  /etc/apt/sources.list again :DB) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
