ClearFoundation

Hello. I'm working with ClearOs after migrate from an older version, and old seems to work properly. The main issue, is that I need a user with specific permissions and uid, and I can not set that from ClearOs Web admin. But if I create the user using adduser (so I can see it in the passwd file), is deleted after a while (when some services restart).
How can I prevent that from happening?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Guillermo,

Maybe this thread will help:

I'm also having the same issue. I did read the thread above but it did help.

I installed nagios with the following instructions:
nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-fedora.html

To start, i'm a bit of a noob and havent used LDAP before.

Nagios installed and ran fine for a while, then I went to restart it, I got an error saying the nagios user didn't exist. I recreated it with the adduser command and it started again.

It happened again today, thought I would look for a perm solution and add the user via the web config tool. The problem is, I need a group called nagios and a user nagios, but the config script keeps erroring. I create a user, then a group, but I get an error on the group creating saying a user with the name already exists. vice versa when I create a group first then a user.

Any ideas?

For those types of users, I add them by hand to /etc/passwd and /etc/group using the next available in the 4XX serries...

an example...

Ah, thanks for that.

Once I edit the files, will I need to re-chown the files/directory again?

Yes if nagios needs to own directories/files - I'm not familiar with nagios..
