similar to: Breaking Windows XP user password?

Hello, To harden security, I've modified the smbldap-passwd script so that it update sambaPwdMustChange, sambaKickoffTime and shadowExpire fields; also, a simple script notifying users with expiration date approaching has been set up. I have also added a call to cracklib to check password strength prior to applying it. It all works well, but the task it to force users to use unique password

Hi, At our campus we have ~40 machines. If a new program is needed we install it on a single machine and replicate this one to the others. The whole process is automated: (Wake-On-LAN) (with pxe) booting a kernel via grub. booting a minimal ram based linux and doing: netcat server port > /dev/hda If we send a WOL packet the restore process starts. The problem is that we have to rejoin each

I know this isn't the right forum for this (do I ever!), but you-all know so much about everything I thought I'd ask. About two months ago I resurrected my daughter's Compaq laptop (cracked screen - replaced it) and ran an update on it. It's running Windows XP, SP1 (I think), but since the update it has run about 1/3 as fast as it used to. Does anyone know if there was a WXP

Yes, I know it is old, but I'm looking for a copy of CentOS 3.5 - CDs or DVD for i386. I can only find 3.8. Thanks for any leads. Scott

I was wondering if anyone has been able to get DoW Soulstorm Running on their Wine. I've looked at several forum lines, and no one seems to have been able to crack it yet. From what i've gathered, the reason it wont work is because of the cd check. If i were able to crack the game so it didnt check for the cd, would it work then? I'm very new to Linux, so please post any replies with a

Given the use of random salts, you would have to generate (number of possible salts) rainbow tables. This drastically changes the CPU/storage tradeoffs. >

There is a lot of talk about the vulnerable Linux kernel. I'm simply wondering the telltale signs if a given system has been hacked? What, specifically, does a person look for? Thanks. Scott

I got this working perfectly at home - what should be exact same setups- - Fresh install of CentOS 5 32-bit from DVD - yum update & upgrade - Reboot - yum install mysql-server - Download phpmyadmin and bugzilla from their respective home pages - Move both to /var/www/html, naming the extracted phpmyadmin directory as phpmyadmin, the same with bugzilla - Copy my working httpd.conf file from

I have an out-of-box, unpatched RedHat Enterprise 5 server acting as a samba PDC for a handful of Windows XP systems on a domain. This is on an isolated network - no Internet connectivity. Is there a way to configure the samba server to act as a Windows SUS server for patch pushing? If so, specifically, how? If not, other than manually installing patches on systems or buying a Windows

I've finally found a crack for diablo 2 LOD that works no CD under win 98, AND works on battle.net!!!! However, I've been trying to get this to work under linux with no real sucsess, I'm using Codeweavers wine PR 4, (I've just started using this instead of the wine.tar.gz cos is seems easier to remove from a linux distro than the tar.gz version, but I suppose that's what

Hi all; I downloaded the centos 4.3 image onto my linux box and used k3b to burn a DVD iso image. It seemed to work fine. I have an SuSE laptop and I want to setup a CentOS VM via Vmware 5.5 If I insert the dvd and boot the new vm I get 'no operating system found' It seems to be a non-bootable dvd. Is there something additional I need to do when burning the dvd image to make it

I am going to present Linux to my ham radio club at some point in the next few months, and wanted to collect info on ham radio software, including options for echolink. Our repeater has an echolink connection, thus if I present the software available for it, it might perk up people's interests more. It would also be very helpful if the echlink applications offered proxy/firewall options

Hi I'm trying to run Max Payne in Ubuntu 11.04. It installs fine and I have patched it whithout problems. But when I try to run it it says 'Please insert the correct CD-ROM, select OK and restart application', even though the cd is already in the drive. Is there something I can do to avoid this? I have read in some other threads that it could be something about the copy protection

Hi, Sorry if this is only half-CentOS-related. In my office, I'm running CentOS on all my systems (server, workstation, laptop, sandbox PCs). A colleague brought me her MacBook Pro to upgrade it from OS X 10.5.7 to 10.11.6. I downloaded the 5.8 GB dmg file and now I wonder how to create a bootable DVD with this using only Linux tools. 1. Can I simply burn this as a data DVD with K3B? 2.

I tried to boot from my 6.0 USB key, no joy. Updated it to 6.2. Still no joy: it gets started, I do the disk layout, it formats the drives, and then fails, saying that it can't find "image# 1". Over in the log, I see a lot of it not finding any drive at all, yet all the h/d drives and sda2, which is what the USB key is, and where the linux partition is, are mounted. Guys, any idea
