General :: Permissions On The Password Database May Be Too Restrictive
Aug 15, 2010
I need to modify the nsswitch.conf file on a new SLES 10 install before I install an application as follows:
passwd: file
shadow: file
group: file
but when I do I can no longer su to root or iniate a new root gui session. I'm OK with just the passwd and group and keep shadow commented out, so it appears tht the shadow causes the messages. I've seen other posts, and checked authorities on /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow but not really seeing a resolution to this.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good password database I can download for Redhat. It only needs to be basic with a few options such as 'hostname', 'userid', 'password' etc and will allow read access for everyone but only allow administrators to edit, create, delete entries.
Most of the downloadable Password Databases run on Windows but apart from Gringott's I am unable to find a suitable database which will run on Redhat.

I am not new to linux, but am to mysql. i run a website, on which i decided to put vpet, a virtual pet php thing. now in the instalation of this thing, it did not ask for an admin password. but it did come with a database. so i'm guessing the login is hidden in there. heres the question, i have phpmyadmin. how the heck do i read the database?

I mean, isn't that exactly how normal home users can visit search engines such as Google or Bing and search for information?

My bose ask me to convert a CentOS system password like "LMPQSMTE0nHlQ" to postfix MySQL MD5 Hased password, I find CentOS seems has 2 kinds of password form, one is shorter and the other is very long like"$1$C2MSk16n$WT5JWnzYH7XpCCjsiE2bd1", however I find postfix is exactly the later long one, so does any one know how to convert the short form to the later one

I'm running RHEL 5. When using the GUI System>Administration>Users and Groups, I get the error: The user database cannot be read. This problem is most likely caused by a mismatch between /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow or /etc/group and /etc/gshadow. The program will exit now.
Some research showed that I need to use vipw and vigr respectively to find an inconsistency between these two sets, which I did - to make it easy I copied each from [vipw | vigr] to an excel file and did =exact(%1, %2). There are no inconsistencies.

For my IPT assignment i need to make a database for a company and basically my only problem is i can't work out how to password protect a single table in the database.
I tried clicking encrypt with password but that encrypts the entire database.
I am using MS office 2007.

I am currently trying to make my computer as secure as it can possibly be. I am configuring the firewall to be restrictive by default, but I have some programs that are still unable to connect to the internet.
1. Pidgin Internet Messenger (I use AIM and MSN)
2. Skype

here's my delema, there is a server on a network protected by a overly restrictive firewall. I can't connect to the server.
I was thinking, does a program exist where the server would connect to another server outside the firewall, then wait for commands? This way there is no port forwarding required. The only program I know that does this is LogMeIn. If you check the logs it does use SSH, and thats even when I blocked the port. Since LogMeIn isn't what I was looking for (Windows Only, full screen capture instead of command line), does an alternative exist?

Using Windows, I always set a Restrictive firewall policy with a third party firewall. But I also had all ports set to Stealth, something that appears to not offer any security benefits (as I've learned from reading Ubuntu forums). I'd like to learn about best security practices (under Ubuntu) for outgoing firewall protection. I will be using the built-in Ubuntu firewall that is configured via Firestarter. Outgoing filtering offers privacy as well as security benefits. But I thought I needed my ports stealthed to be safe too, so I'm open to learning new things.
I wanted to start a poll to find out how many folks use permissive/restrictive, but no polls allowed here apparently.Could Ubuntu users knowledgeable about firewalls enlighten me on whether I should go Outbound-Restrictive and what applications I will need to allow so Ubuntu "housekeeping" is not affected negatively? I basically just use the internet for software updates, web-surfing and e-mail. One question I have is whether there is something comparable in Ubuntu to Window's "DNS Client" service? I always disabled Window's "DNS Client" and forced each application to request port 53 DNS lookups itself.I only had to allow four programs to accomplish all internet traffic that I engage in. I set all other programs/applications to be either Blocked or to have to Ask for an outgoing connection as needed.Here is my former Windows XP setup:
svchost.exe: allow UDP for ports 53, 67, 68, 123 (time) and TCP for ports 80, 443
Avast: allow UDP for port 53 and TCP for port 80
firefox: allow UDP for port 53 and TCP for ports 80, 443
IE: allow UDP for port 53 and TCP for ports 80, 443

how to implement a password login system that both sends passwords over the internet in an encrypted form (so my users don't get that annoying message saying "this web site is about to send your password in an unsafe form..." and stores its user data in a MySQL database? This seems to need a combination of mod_auth_digest and mod_auth_mysql.

Unless your distro has taken care of it Centos 5.5, you'll need to create a user with a password and read/write privileges for program database. You can do this using the MySQL command line client if you are familiar with it. Well I am not familiar with it, so I wam wondering how to do it. As well when I run
mysql - p program </usr/share/program/mysql.sql>
It asks for a password. how do i find out this password.

When installing, I was not prompted to enter root password, but I was prompted to enter root name, user name and user password. Now it seems Terminal opens with admin permissions for user. This is not good.

I'm having a bit of trouble with my external hard-drive. Here's how it goes: I click on the HDD in nautilus, and it prompts me for a password. It gives access to the files, but to edit, remove, or add any files, I have to open it as nautilus under root! How do I change the permissions so I only have to type my password once?

I am writing a simple application that will run as user foo (i.e. Ubuntu user foo).However, the application will connect to my database as (database user foobar). IIRC, database users have nothing to do with Linux system users - but I just need to clarify that.So can an app launched to run as user 'foo', connect to a database as user 'foobar'?

I'd like to add essentially an anonymous user, which does not require a password. Second I think it's probably a good idea to only give this user very limited permissions, is there a way I can restrict the commands that they can run to a list (i.e. they should be able to run scp, ls, cd, maybe a few more, but not much)?

Having to write my user password every time I want to do anything. I DO know I'm doing something risky for the system, that's why I have Linux. Is there a way to avoid to rewrite the password again and again, like start with superuser permissions?

I am an absolute Linux Beginner who is being required to do a bit of admin work because the boss just fired the old linux admin. Unfortunately, one of our employees cannot remember her password to her email account and as such I need to reset it on our linux server.What I want to check is that this email account is actually a linux user account and I simply will reset the password for it using the passwd command from the root login. Is that correct?

I recently moved into a new place and when I hooked up my webserver, I wasn't able to bring up my page, even from localhost. With some digging, it seems that I can't access the database that housed my posts (wordpress installation). I looked for the datadir in MySQL and that directory shows the wordpress directory that should be holding the database and all the files are still there. 1) why the database no longer shows up 2) how to restore the database from the files?

I recently installed a portable WAMP server on my usb stick. Really nice, I can do some php programming on my girlfriend's windows7 laptop without installing anything on it.I also have a LAMP environnement on my linux computer.When I plug my usb stick on my linux box, I can easily mount -o bind /usbstick/wwwfolder ~/public_html and work on my php script from there.
But my question is, is there a way I could get the database from my usb stick's MySql server, to run on my linux MySql server? So I can modify data base schema from my Linux workstation, doing some INSERTS in some tables, and then plub my usb stick on the laptop and get my up-to-date database running from the portable environnement?I don't know where / how MySql stores its databases. Basically, I want to "mount" the database from the usb stick in my Linux' installed MySql server, without extracting and importing the data, so there is just ONE database used for BOTH environnement.
