Both users running [SOLVED] Topic is solved

[dedanna1029]

Uh, this is not good. Since I deleted dedanna and created dedanna1029, it seems that now when I login to my new primary user (galynda), I'm also logged into dedanna1029. I don't get how this could happen. I noticed that now when I log out of galynda, it wants root authentication "when two users are logged into the system", so used a viking60 tip to see how in the world two users could be logged into the system, and sure enough:

Code: Select all

[galynda@galynda ~]$ awk -F: '/home/ && /bash/ {print $1,$3}' /etc/passwd
galynda 501
dedanna1029 500

How to fix? Thanks.

What happens if you kill dedanna1029?

Oh, sorry, meant to mention about that. Too early in the morning (or way too late at night, take your pick). It doesnt' work, or doesn't seem to:

Code: Select all

[galynda@galynda ~]$ awk -F: '/home/ && /bash/ {print $1,$3}' /etc/passwd
galynda 501
dedanna1029 500
[galynda@galynda ~]$ su -
Password:
[root@galynda ~]# skill -STOP -u dedanna1029
[root@galynda ~]#
[root@galynda ~]# exit
logout

[galynda@galynda ~]$ awk -F: '/home/ && /bash/ {print $1,$3}' /etc/passwd
galynda 501
dedanna1029 500
[galynda@galynda ~]$
[galynda@galynda ~]$ su -
Password:
[root@galynda ~]# skill -KILL -u dedanna1029
[root@galynda ~]#
[root@galynda ~]# awk -F: '/home/ && /bash/ {print $1,$3}' /etc/passwd
galynda 501
dedanna1029 500
[root@galynda ~]#

Either way I go, both users are still there. I checked them in MCC, and neither is in the other's way of anything, either in group or user.

hhmmm... I remembered I had this issue before, but in this case, things are opposite. I can't access the dedanna1029 files, just am logged into dedanna1029. This could get interesting, in particular with the last comment to the thread. I'm pretty sure he means XFCE...

Edit: I'm trying medo's trick in that thread. We'll see what happens after a reboot.

Code: Select all

chmod u=rwX,g=rX,o-rwx -R /home/user

On each...

Edit2: And yup, that got it.

Code: Select all

[galynda@galynda ~]$ users
galynda galynda
[galynda@galynda ~]$ su -
Password:
[root@galynda ~]# users
galynda galynda
[root@galynda ~]# w

It's the same when I run in dedanna1029 (except you see dedanna1029, and not galynda of course).

Only problem? No sound. Here we go again... *sigh
