I have a new server with a fresh install of Ubuntu on it, that comes with 6 IP addresses. My question and problem is trying to setup the IP’s to specific users.
For example
Joes account using 54.55.566.1
Sams account uses 54.55.566.2
Does anyone have a clue of how to setup the IP addresses so they then could be used by appointed users?
Just what do you mean by assigning them to users?
Users don’t really use IPs, network hardware and applications do. Hardware and applications that are, for the most part, accessible to any user.
A bit more explanation on what you’re trying to control might help
The idea was to have each user have an assigned IP to use/login with
Sam = 54.45.444.1
Jon = 54.45.444.2
Mike = 54.45.444.3
Where they are on the same machine but allowing them to run applications using the same ports ect also allowing them to login using their IPs. My question was the server came with 6 ips how would i then set them up so I could then have each user use a different ip for their account.
I don’t think you can do that.
Easiest way–virtualize the box and make six hosts, one for each user with a dedicated IP.
Know of any good docs on setting that up? Or could you explain how to?
Thanks
What’s the problem you’re trying to solve by making your users use these unique IPs?
I’m sure you have a good reason, I’m just not clear on what that is…
Virtualization is the only clear answer I see for solving this problem.
Simple, pick a hypervisor (eg–VMWare) and make virtual boxes for each user.
We have a VPS server we own in France that has 6 IP address with the package from the host, we have installed a fresh install of Ubuntu with 6 users. So my question is how to setup user1 for ip1 and user2 for ip2 ect. So ultimately the problem I am trying to solve is so they can run the same processes which use the same open ports on our 1 server. IE user1 ip1 proc1 on port 6667, user2 ip2 proc1 port 6667 ect.
Installed vmware workstation and everything working fine now thanks for the help!
