search for: getpassphrase

...reads the first 8 characters, as opposed to the full password. Obviously, this can cause mass confusion. :) The fix is pretty simple (I would offer a diff, but this is the kind of thing the configure script should check for...) - under Solaris getpass() will only return 8 characters - you must use getpassphrase() to get up to 256 characters (same syntax as getpass). So, under source/utils/smbpasswd.c, line 670, change p = getpass(prompt); to p = getpassphrase(prompt); And it works properly. --- Andrew Gray Systems Administrator University of Nevada, Las Vegas College of Engineering

I tried replacing readpassphrase() for v2.9.9p2 on Sol8 with a different version that just calls getpassphrase(). It appears to solve the echo problem when the user tries to login in interactive mode and needs to change their password. Can anyone else try this with v2.9.9p2 on Solaris? Be sure to add: #define HAVE_GETPASSPHRASE ... to config.h when compiling (since it's not a configurable option ye...

...The Solaris9 getpass(3C) takes passwords up to PASS_MAX length, which is only 8. That means if you try something like # net ads join -U admin@MY.REALM and the admin password is more than 8 characters in length, you'll get "Preauthentication failed". The solution to this is to use getpassphrase(3C), which according to the manpage "returns a string of up to 256 characters in length" but otherwise is identical to getpass(3C). (line 254 of utils/net_ads.c) Maybe this could be cared for by the configure scripts? Thank you, Samba Team, for your sustained good work! Chris -- ----...

I have run across an interesting issue when running rsync from Solaris to an rsync daemon on Linux. It works properly when I specify the password on the command line: RSYNC_PASSWORD=the_Password rsync -r /tmp/test test_user@test_server::test_user/topdir/subdir However, if I do not specify the password on the command line and am prompted interactively, it always fails. After some

I've been doing so more tests with 2.9.9p2 on Sol8. Here are my finding so far: When a user needs to change his password and trys to run a command in non-interactive mode, it just succeeds without even trying to prompt the user for a new password. Damien submitted a fix - it works for me (is it going into CVS?). When a user needs to change his password and trys to login in interactive

Hi again, I've succeeded in compiling the svn trunk with the automake tools and wish to say thank you to Charles Lepple for his help. After fixing some parameters in the hotplug script I can now get access to the UPS on /dev/usb/hiddev0 (I added productid and vendorid of my ups to the usermap). I've decided to try the newhidups driver with -x generic parameter and got this response :
