i followed http://www.michael-noll.com/tutorials/running-hadoop-on-ubuntu-linux-multi-node-cluster/ .

Hadoop 1.2.0 jetty-6.1.26

After adding my hdfs-site.xml looks

<configuration>
<property>
  <name>dfs.replication</name>
    <value>2</value>
      <description>Default block replication.
        The actual number of replications can be specified when the file is created.
          The default is used if replication is not specified in create time.
 </description>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.web.ugi</name>
<value>hduser,hadoop</value>
</property>
</configuration>

Edit the dfs.web.ugi property in hdfs-site.xml and add your user there. It is by default webuser,webgroup.
