Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : cPanel User Shell Access

[sikkhost]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to give a cPanel user acct the same access amount as a user acct created via shell (using the commd "adduser username") When you login under that it always says like
username@main [~/directory]

When you create a user via cPanel it gives you like a less of an access thing: -bash-2.05b$. If there a way to change this so that the cPanel user account will be the same as one created via Shell? My server is running RH9 if that helps. Thanks in advance!

I think I found a way.

First Create the account via shell.
Then go the directory /var/cpanel/users and add the user. It seems to have worked. If there is a better way to do this then please tell me! This works yet I have it setup as the domain as:

username.live-wirehosting.com
Yet I don't think the subdomain registered correctly. Also it isn't listed in WHM as an account. Is their a way to fix this all? Thanks!

have some work ...
First adduser
after edit /var/cpanel .. hae some files to add
/etc/wwwact and more... domainsuser...

the better way is to take the script /scripts the createnew user and make 1-2 changes and runit from shell this will be the best .

Well what changes and what files do I add. You aren't very specific.

As long as you are not using jailed shell for Cpanel, any account created in Cpanel with shell is the same as any useradd shell (i.e. /bin/bash). The only differences really is to do with bash preferences. Cpanel somehow don't create those bash files.

Do this:

Create the account under cPanel
Go to one of your home directory of a user created using useradd
Copy .bashrc and .bash_profile to your newly created Cpanel account

Done.

cd
