yarek's questions

My goal is to add a new user and give him SFTP access on an already existing folder (web) : I need the user bigsquash to have access to folder /home/bigsquash.com

The existing folder is:

ls -la /home/bigsquash.com

drwxr-xr-x 27 www-data  www-data  4096 Oct  5 23:48 bigsquash.com

1. I add a new user

   adduser bigsquash

2. I add that user to the www-data group:

   usermod -a -G www-data bigsquash

3. j'ai changé son home

   usermod -d /home/bigsquash.com bigsquash

I can now access with SFTP to that folder /home/bigsquash.combut I have no rights to upload/delete files

What

On Debian when I am logged on as root, I don't have to write sudo before each command.

On Ubuntu I have to write sudo or I use su -

Is there a way to remove sudo on Ubuntu so that when I am logged on as root, I write all commands directly such as mkdir, rm etc...?

I isntalled successfull ssmtp:

/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf

[email protected]
[email protected]
mailhub=ssl0.ovh.net:587
#mailhub=ns0.ovh.net:587
UseSTARTTLS=YES
FromLineOverride=YES
[email protected]
AuthPass=********

And trying it with:

 echo content | mail -s "subject" [email protected]

This works and I do receive email

my ssmpt seems also ok:

 ls -la /usr/sbin/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Jul 15  2014 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> ssmtp

my php.ini has:

sendmail_path = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i"

However, when I try to send email through the mail() function: I receive FALSE

tail /var/log/apache2/error.log

gives me: sendmail: Cannot open mailhub:25

Any idea ?
