Hello, after reading the FAQ, I decided to compile icecast (1.3.11) with --with-crypt option, but, there's no mkpasswd anywhere in the source tarball. Am I missing something here?

I believe the 911 is a serious issue if one does an asterisk installation in an office. How do you test 911? Won't they arrest you or something for dialing 911 for no reason and talking to one of their agents who could have taken a more important call? On the other hand what an emergency comes up (like someone got seriously injured) and on top of that asterisk crashed all of a sudden

Dear Mr. Therneau, Mr. Fox, or to whoever, who has some time... I don't find a solution to use the "survfit" function (package: survival) for a defined pattern of covariates with a Cox-Model including a time dependent interaction term. Somehow the definition of my "newdata" argument seems to be erroneous. I already googled the problem, found many persons having the

Hi everyone I'm trying to create system with RO root filesystem, so i'm using /etc/sysconfig/readonly-root along wih /etc/rwtab and /etc/statetab. Apart of numerous problems with services running on RO filesystem (which i'm constantly resolving adding entries to /etc/statetab) one thing popped up. I'm unable to add user or change his password. Error is 'cannot lock

asked once before and didn't get a reply, but it was probably lost in my back-and-forth with Jack.. where is the encrypted password support for icecast 1.3.10? The documentation references a "mkpasswd.c" source file that doesn't exist anywhere in my icecast directory tree.. -------signature file------- PGP Key Fingerprint: 446B 7718 B219 9F1E 43DD 8E4A 6BE9 D739 CCC5 7FD7

That's not SHA512-CRYPT. That's just a simple sha512 of the password, without salt. A SHA512-CRYPT password will be generated with: printf "1234\n1234" | doveadm pw -s SHA512-CRYPT or: doveadm pw -s SHA512-CRYPT -p 1234 or: mkpasswd -m sha-512 1234 (without the "{SHA512-CRYPT}" prefix) What exactly is the difficulty you are having with converting the passwords?

Hello All, I am trying to set multiple users with passwords for modifying grub2 menu entries at boot. I know I can set a "root" user grub2 password with grub2-setpassword. I have also been able to make a grub2 user password using the grub2-mkpasswd-pbkdf2 command and adding ??? set superusers="user1" to the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file. However, I have multiple user

I made progress in tracking down a problem on cygwin that's been bothering me for a while since Win7 and domain. when I do: > mkpasswd -D mkpasswd (434): [31] A device attached to the system is not functioning.
