user permission

hi all,

i created testuser. by following command.

code:
/usr/sbin/adduser -n test -d /disk05/collections/get/testdata/
and then set its password by following command.

code:
passwd testuser

when i login to system by testuser, it enters everything is ok.
the problem is how to set permission to this user not do anything out of its home directory. it is /disk05/collections/get/testdata/

how to get rid of "^m" from sql query

i've searched the net and tried various solutions that don't work for me.

i'm trying to return values from a sql query and i keep getting a "^m" appended to one field.

code:

getting data from table

select * from table...
spooling to $home/out.log
...

wf_data=`tail -7 $home/out.log | awk '{print $1}'` assigning the values to wf_data variable

echo $wf_data > $home/out.log returning the data to out.log ... (may be dumb way but it works.. i need it for formatting purposes

wf=`tail -1 $home/out.log | awk '{print $1}'` #getting workflow
f=`tail -1 $home/out.log | awk '{print $2}'` #getting folder
s=`tail -1 $home/out.log | awk '{print $3}'` #getting server
u=`tail -1 $home/out.log | awk '{print $4}'` #getting user
p=`tail -1 $home/out.log | awk '{print $5}'` #getting pass

variable wf is having the "^m" appended to it.

any suggestions as to how to remove it?

(i tried sed -i '' "s/\r//g" $home/out.log (along with other variations) right after the sql statements and other sections - didn't work)

running unix commands remotely in windows box from unix box ?avoid entering password

i am able to run the unix commands in a windows box from a unix box through "ssh" functionality. but whenever the ssh connection is established between unix and windows, password for windows box is being asked.

is there a way to avoid asking password whenever the ssh connection is made? can i store required passwords in a file and then use that file for password prompt whenever ssh is established?
