Deleting

[Grayh]

I would like to delete the User Oracle and Group DBA

Oracle:zArY01LC00zjo:110:1025:Oracle User:/export/home/Oracle:/bin/csh

dba::105:

I have done it incorrectly

[Ivan Krastev · Accepted solution]

Use userdel and groupdel.
If you want to delete home directory of the user use -r option.

Thank u Ivan..

Could you also give me the complete command to create the user Oracle with Admin Previliges in the Group DBA .

And if u dont mind also the complete command to create the group DBA.

[Kenan Erdey]

Hi,

or you can do it from sam. Please take care that it'll ask you if you want to delete users' files also. check the suitable option for you.

Kenan.

I have deleted and recreated a group with gid 105

Now I want to create a user Oracle with admin previlages and assigne it to the group dba

Can anyone give me the command to do that

[Ivan Krastev]

Better don't give admin privileges to oracle user. Use sudo instead.

For creation regular user oracle with group dba use:

#useradd -g 105 oracle

for more options see the man page - http://docs.hp.com/en/B3921-90010/useradd.1M.html

ivan

Dear Garyh

groupadd is the command to create new groups
if u want to add user with group
u can use useradd command
see man pages of useradd
otherwise
u can use sam also it is more easier.
for deleting group
u can use groupdel command
for deleting user
userdel -r then username

Hi,

Thank you.

User Oracle should be able to ftp.

Connected to 10.3.90.9.
220 MAHP01 FTP server (Revision 3.0 Version wuftpd-2.6.1 Wed Dec 19 08:45:38 GMT
2007) ready.
User (10.3.90.9:(none)): oracle
331 Password required for oracle.
Password:
230-No directory! Logging in with home=/
230 User oracle logged in.
ftp>

Could you suggest me to add something to it.

Also could u tell me where can I find sudo and how to install it.

[Grayh]

I am constantly getting the error 230-No directory! Logging in with home=/ when I ftp to oracle

How can I manage it

[Kenan Erdey]

Hi,

you didn't specify a home directory when creating user. you would add user with -m option.

for sudo you can search sudo in software.hp.com
you'll download it from internet express package.

[SKR_1]

if you want to ftp with oracle user, you need to comment out oracle user from

/etc/ftpd/ftpusers file

Thanks

Hi,

Oracle:zArY01LC00zjo:110:1025:Oracle User:/export/home/Oracle:/bin/csh
dba::105:


If you want to change the group id 1025 to 105 just open the /etc/passwd file and change the value from 1025 to 105 thats all.

Hi,

"error 230-No directory" - seems like the directory '/export/home/Oracle' doesn't exist at your server.
Btw - that's one advantage of using SAM to create a user, you're asked if you want to create the home-dir. Mark this point, then you'll always be at the save side.

Hi,

I would like to delete the User Oracle and Group DBA

Oracle:zArY01LC00zjo:110:1025:Oracle User:/export/home/Oracle:/bin/csh

dba::105:

Considering there was typo for group

$Useradd -m -d /export/home/oracle -c "Oracle User" -s /bin/csh -u 110 -g 105 oracle

$passwd oracle


if you have already created the user buy its unable to find home directory

check if /export/home/oracle exist and has proper permission oracle:dba

then do

$usermod -d /export/home/oracle oracle

[Javed Khan_1]

Hi,


you do not need sudo as you do not need root privilege


I guess you mentioned admin privilege for oracle which you already have since oracle database is owned by user oracle

How to give the user oracle read write and execute permissions

[Grayh]

I have two directories in /export/home with oracle & Oracle

Is it ok to have.... two directories


$ pwd
/export/home

$ ll
total 0
drwxrwxrwx 2 oracle dba 96 Sep 25 19:18 Oracle
drwxrwxrwx 2 oracle dba 96 Sep 26 09:21 oracle

[SKR_1]

you can have but it would be better if you have some differnece in these names. This will create confusion in future for you.

For setting permissions you need to use

chmod

Thanks

To what?

OK.

> Is it ok to have.... two directories

Sure, what's the question?

Hi,

you have had the user Oracle with the home-dir /export/home/Oracle - when you have deleted the user Oracle you can delete his old home-dir /export/home/Oracle too.
You SHOULD do it to get no confusion about this directory later (6 months, 1 year, ..).
You don't need it anymore.

> How to give the user oracle read write and execute permissions

You have to check which permissions user oracle needs - I believe in most cases user oracle gets his needed permissions by the installation tool.
So which permissions do you miss?

Volkmar

[V. Nyga]

Hmmm - hi again,

you have to check which home-directory you have annouced for user oracle (or is it Oracle?) - either you need /export/home/Oracle OR /export/home/oracle !

You want to make ftp - do we talk about two different servers?
How is the 'oracle-user' defined at both systems? Check carefully!
