If shadow passwords are already in use, and new entries are appended to /etc/passwd that include password hashes, is it still possible to use pwconv to generate /etc/shadow entries for just the few newly appended accounts? Regards, Eugene

...manipulation error Firstly; I am stracthing my head as to why his password was no longer working in the first place? Secondly; Why I can't reset it? Googling around many people suggest there is a discrepancy between the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files and by deleting /etc/shadow and using pwconv to recreate shadow and the same for /etc/groups, deleting gshadow recreating it with grpconv will solve the problem but I still can't login as the web dev user.

I have noticed on a Centos 4.3 server where I had set some >8 characters passwords for some accounts, that only the first 8 characters are needed (if I forget or mistype the others I login all the same). Can I "move" the live, running system to longer passwords, and how? or is a reinstall necessary? TIA, Marco -- Marco Fioretti mfioretti, at the server

...issue we noticed in openstack where setting the root password on a CentOS 6 image through the XenAPI would corrupt the guest image''s /etc/shadow file. 1. set the root password through XenAPI 2. log in to the account 3. `passwd` -- you should get an error. To fix you can `rm /etc/shadow; pwconv` I''ve tested against an Ubuntu XCP image and everything is fine there… seems to only affect CentOS 6

...ommands that they need to know about, in the sense of, "if you understand these commands, you should be fine." regarding user/group admin, my tentative list of commands would be: * user{add,mod,del} * group(add,mod,del} * passwd, gpasswd * chage, chsh, chfn * pwck, grpck * pwconv, pwunconv not sure what i'm missing here, i just typed those off the top of my head. rather than scatter all of that over an entire chapter, are there any official centos/rhel reference sheets like that? if not, i can just write my own and post them at my wiki. thanks for any pointers. rda...

Hi, I''d like to know how to install centos (4.5 in my case) to run as a domU on a dom0 running etch. Any tips please? Thanks. Chris. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I have a Debian Etch AMD64 server running Samba 3.0.24. It is joined to an active directory domain. Most everything works quite well. I had set up a user for a scanner but forgot to add it to a group so that it could access the target folder, so the scans failed. I then added the account to the group, but for some reason it is still denied access to the directory. I su'ed to the user, and

I am trying to get encrypted passwords working for a Linux/Samba server serving Win9x clients. We want the students to be able to logon either the Samba file system or the Linux server and allow the students to change their password from either. I would really appreciate any help on this matter. We need to get this working as quickly as possible as the old Netware server is on life support.

...AVE_OLD_PAM */ /* #undef HAVE_PAM_GETENVLIST */ /* #undef HAVE_PAM_PUTENV */ Some more info on the PAM_LDAP library used on the system. When Shadow password bundle is installed on the system, shadow file enable and disable command is installed on "/usr/sbin/pwunconv" and "/usr/sbin/pwconv". PAM_LDAP library checks this and particularly when "/usr/sbin/pwunconv" is removed, LDAP auth works. Is there any chance that the problem is in checking the return status of the PAM APIs in 3.7.1p2?

Greetings all- I'm currently working with CentOS 5.x (various version 5.0 - 5.5) attempting to run it on a system based on the AMD Geode LX CPU. There are known issues with this CPU running Centos 5, specifically those listed here: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2552 The kernel and system run fine on the Geode LX, but the installer detects the CPU as i586. Since there is no i586 kernel

So on a virtual server the root password was no longer working (as in I couldn't ssh in anymore). Only I and one other know it and neither of us have changed it. No other account had the correct privileges to correct this so I'm wondering, if I had mounted that vdi as a secondary device on another VM, browsed the file system and delete /etc/shadow would this have wiped all users passwords

Hi Guys, I am new to puppet and trying to figure out what is the best way to manage a password for a specific user in the /etc/shadow file. Most of my users are being authenticated to kerberos but there is a need to set a local password for this one account. What would be the best method to do this via puppet? I have built my own rpm''s in the past using the chpasswd command but

Hello Since linux 2.6, the md layer has a feature called partitionable arrays. So instead of having two disks, creating an identical partition table on both and then putting those partitions in RAID 1, you take those two disks and put them in one partitionable RAID 1 array (in mdadm terms, "mdp") and create a partition table on the new RAID device. The advantages are quite clear
