'sftp' is seriously lacking relative to, say, ncftp: it has no command memory, no Tab-completion of file names, and so on. Is there a non-GUI tool for SFTP that people recommend?
I'm trying to add a new keyboard layout for a non admin user on my mac.
I had thought that the keyboard layout would be applied for all users when I added it to mine but alas no.
I cannot get into the Users\\library\keyboard layouts
folder, as it won't let me (but I'm an admin FFS!)
I even went into 'get info' and set it to 'everyone read and write' but it still tells me that I don't have permission
How on earth can I update the other user's keyboard layout folder?
Now that we have applied an internal to external rule blocking all users access to the internet, other than those users in a whitelist, we have the obvious issue of non authenticated users, not on our domain, i.e.; domain-less guests not being able to access the internet. Other than configuring each machine to use our alternative gateway - which would require a member of IT to be onsite everytime a guest arrives - can this be done through ISA adn AD?
Is it possible to disable the use of portable applications on non-administrator accounts? I am the administrator on a Windows XP machine, and I do not want limited users to be able to run portable applications - especially web browsers.
Can this be done?
I'm trying to configure my Windows 2008 servers so that my developers can view their status without needing to log on to the box or be an admin. Unfortunately, the permissions set in Windows 2008 for remote non-admin users don't include the ability to enumerate or otherwise query services. This causes anything that contacts the SCM on the far end to fail (Win32_Service, sc.exe, services.msc etc).
How do I set up permissions so that they can at least list the services and see if they are running?
I installed BOINC (running World Community Grid) on a PC (running Vista) under an administrator's account. When logged in as a standard user, and BOINC is set to run as a screensaver, it fails to connect and run properly.
Only when the program is run as an administrator, does it actually run in the standard user's account.
What is the correct way to install and run BOINC for standard users (non-admin) on Windows?

Hi,
I have a pdf file which contains some non-latin european characters. If I copy some text with the highlight tool, and paste it into another program (word, notepad) - the 'special' characters do not transfer correctly (I get other odd characters in their place).
I have tried copying the text from both Acrobat Reader and Foxit.
Is there anything I can do here to copy this?
Thanks
I installed libreoffice-headless and can convert documents when logged on as root. I then tried doing so as another user, and it didn't show an error, but didn't convert the file. I then found that if I get rid of the HOME=/tmp/ayb, it works with the other user. Doesn't HOME=/tmp/ayb just allow files to default to this directory if not specified? (Sorry, I tried to search "Linux HOME", but as you probably expect, received a bunch of non-relevant results). If not, what is the purpose of specifying HOME? Why does setting HOME prevent it from converting on non-root users? Note that /tmp and /tmp/ayb or both 0777. Thank you

I am trying to get a disk image of a SCSI disk using ddrescue on Solaris10 (Sparc). The disk is non-solaris, and ddrescue gets an immediate I/O error (as does dd). I used format to label the disk as Solaris, and now ddrescue reads it fine. Is there any way to get the image without labelling the disk as Solaris?
I want to install Ubuntu from a non bootable Ubuntu disk. I currently have Windows XP installed. How can I do that?
My intention is to remove Windows completely.
Hello, I have successfully setup gitosis on my server thanks to this helpful howto.
Versions:
Server: CentOS 5
Desktop: Windows 7
Git (on Desktop): 1.6.5.1.1367.gcd48
Client: TortoiseGit 1.3.2.0 (with msysgit 1.6.1)
How can I clone a Git repository from my server when my SSH port is non the default (22)?
I believe that the URL ssh://[email protected]:3031/gitosis-admin.git works, but I get:
'/gitosis-admin.git' does not appear
to be a git repository
Thank you.
Hello,
Among the millions of applications written for Windows, I assume there are probably quite a lot that are too old or too sloppy to run without administrative rights.
To convert users to using non-admin accounts in their day-to-day use of Windows, I need a tool that will sort applications between those than can run safely as non-admin and those that expect to have those rights and will thus show some obvious or not-so-obvious wrong behavior as a result.
Does someone know of such a tool that would be available for XP/Vista/7, and either scan the whole disk for unsafe applications, or would be started at boot time and lurk in the background so that it would show a pop-up and report applications that triggered an error because of this lack of admin rights?
Thank you.
I would like to install clearcase 7.1 on AIX. but i'm not system admin of this server i can get root password for install only. i worry if after install i cannot configure or manage Clearcase by another user. so i would like to install by non-root user.
Hi
I run as admin on my machine and want to run an executable as non admin user from the command prompt (without logging off).
I'm running on windows 7 64 bit OS.
Is possible?
Thanks.
Hi,
I am running Fusion 2.0.6 (196839) on an iMac running 10.6.2 with 3 user accounts (1 Administrator). I have Fusion set up to share the Guest OS, and it's been working splendidly for nearly a year. Within the Guest OS (Windows XP PRO), there are also 3 user accounts (1 Administrator).
Last night I went to back up my VM to an external drive, and to minimize the file size and transfer time, I deleted all Snapshots but the most-recent one. I then backed up the VM externally (28.23 GB).
Today, one of my users tried to launch the Guest OS from within her user account, and received the following error message:
"File Not Found: Windows XP Pro-000006.vmdk
"This file is required to power on this virtual machine. If this file was moved, please provide its new location."
My two choices are Cancel and Browse.
When I browse, I can locate the Windows XP Pro-000006.vmdk file, which appears to be contained within the VM file (Windows XP Pro.vmwarevm). However, it still won't launch from a non-Admin user account. If I view the package contents of the VM file from the user account, the above file is present and appears to be created upon each launch of the Guest OS.
If I go back to my Administrator account on the Mac and then launch Fusion, the Guest OS works perfectly for all 3 user accounts within XP Pro.
I have tried to delete the Guest OS from Fusion's Library within the problem user account, then re-connect it to that Library, but the result is the same. The Guest OS data integrity is 100% -- but is accessible only from the OS X Administrator account.
This problem only surfaced after deleting several older Snapshots. Again, the data is there, the Guest OS powers up normally in the Mac's Administrator account, but persistently returns the above error when attempting to power on from a non-Admin account on the Mac.
I'm not sure how this is affecting the error, but when I look at Hard Disk Settings, the "unable-to-locate" file is the filename of the virtual HD. I don't want to make any changes to my (working) VM without any advice from the knowledgeable people on this forum.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
How can I enable non-admin users to run a certain application (in my case, a script) with admin permissions on Windows XP?
This would be similar to the setuid bit on *nix.
Dear ladies and sirs.
I have a need to create a self signed certificate non interactively. Unfortunately, the only tool that I know of (makecert) is interactive - it uses GUI to ask for a password.
My OS is Windows (from XP to 2008).
The only thing close that I managed to find is http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/125982/How-to-run-Makecert-without-password-window.aspx, however, it is still not good.
Any ideas?

Say I got some files in Chinese and some files in Korean. And in windows 'Region and Language Options', I set language for non-unicode program = Chinese. Is there any way that I can read some Korean text file in text editor easily without using Microsoft Word?
I need an environment that can support multiple unicode easily, I need to read Chinese, Japanese, Korean in text editor (Ultraeditor, notepad++) and terminal clients like SecureCRT. Please advise, thanks.

Postfix serves for my virtual domains and works fine.
But for one of my domains:
- it bounces mails targeted at [email protected]
- it rejects mails targeted at [email protected]
problem is, [email protected] does not exist either.
here is my postconf
why does it bounce [email protected], and reject other non existing mails?
Thanks.
I am currently attempting to transfer over 1 million files from one server to another. Using wget, it seems to be extremely slow, probably because it starts a new transfer after the previous one has been completed.
Question: Is there a faster non-blocking (asynchronous) way to do the transfer? I do not have enough space on the first server to compress the files into tar.gz and transferring them over. Thanks!
