Ubuntu Servers :: AD Auth - Changing Password At Logon
Nov 17, 2010I have succesfully set up authentication manually in Ubuntu so users can log on with Windows Active Directory accounts and have their network drives mapped automatically using pam_mount.
Please note due to the setup I can't make any changes to the Windows 2k3 server.
If a user wants their password reset I can change it to a generic password. When they next log on to a Windows computer with the generic password it will automatically ask them to change it to something else.
Is there anyway to get this to work with Ubuntu 10.10? At the moment when logging onto Ubuntu with an account that is in this state the message Please change your password appears, it then proceds to log on without prompting to change the password and natually it won't map the drives etc.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Changes My Password Now Can't Logon / What To Do?
Apr 9, 2011This afternoon, I tried to change the password, for the windows access via Samba, but I goofed.
While logged in with a Putty session, I typed code...
It asked me for the new password after the first line, then again after the second line as expected.
In retrospect I probably should not have typed the first line.
Now, however, I can't log in via putty. When I attempt to, it asks for my password, but neither the new nor old password works.
I DO have access to the Samba shares from other windows machines using the new password so that is OK.
It is a non GUI 10.04 server with one user, mark.
Help, please, how do I fix it?
Ideally, I guess I want the old password for the log in, but the new password for Samba shares.

View 3 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Why Does Changing A Truecrypt Password Take Such A Long Time
May 31, 2010I am changing the password of a truecrypt file container. This takes around 1 minute. Why?
time truecrypt --text --change /tmp/user1.tc --keyfiles= --new-keyfiles= --password=known --new-password=known --random-source=/dev/null"
If I use strace I see that it basically does not do anything: it simply reads lots of random data from /dev/urandom (even if i specified /dev/null as random source) and finally changes the password:
open("/dev/urandom", O_RDONLY) = 6
read(6, "36&{35121221234320234313242312I326235245224300354O)270Q200 201J227224311_212367"..., 640) = 640
close(6) = 0

View 3 Replies View RelatedSecurity :: Display Of Number Of Failed Logon Attempt At Logon?
Jan 26, 2010Our system is based on RH4 and is using pam_tally and faillog to record failed attempts and to lock users out after 5 attempts. We have a requirement to provide a normal (non-root) user logging onto our system, with information regarding the number of failed logon attempts made on their account before the current successful logon (similar to the functionality provided by HP Protect Tools on Windows). My first idea was to add 'faillog -u $USER' to the bashrc, however by the time the bashrc is run - the user has been successfully authenticated and the faillog has been reset back to zero.

Mar 1, 2011I have got a RHEL 5.6 server configured to authenticate via a Windows 2008 domain controller via LDAPS.Everything is working fine, except from the following: When I create a new user in Active directory and check the option "user must change password at next logon", the new user cannot logon and gets an "access denied" message. In /var/log/secure, I find the following:
Mar 1 14:43:21 cpssvn10 sshd[5363]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=192.168.3.12 user=testuser2

Mar 1 14:43:23 cpssvn10 sshd[5363]: Failed password for testuser2 from 192.168.3.12 port 4583 ssh2
As soon as I uncheck the "user must change ..." option, the user can log on without problems. Also password change via the passwd command works.

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Login Password Keeps Changing?
Jul 6, 2010Last night I had rebooted my machine and when it came back up it would no longer accept my password. My 7 year old son had been playing on the machine earlier so I assumed he inadvertently reset my password to something else. I rebooted again, added the rw init=/bin/bash was able to get in and reset my password. That worked, I was able to access with no problem. I was able to perform admin tasks, it would prompt for password and accept the password. I just went to edit a config file and all of a sudden it is no longer accepting my password again and (my son has been no where near it)?!!?
I am not even sure where to start troubleshooting this - I know I can reboot and reset the password again - but is there a way to figure out how this is happening.
Fedora :: Restricting User From Changing Own Password In 10?
Jul 16, 2009I hope I am in the right forum. I have a question about restricting users from being able to change their own passwords in Fedora 10. In Fedora 6, I was able to do this by using passwd with -n and -x flags. If I would set the -n value greater than the -x value, then the user would not be able to change his/her own password. If I do this in Fedora 10, this no longer works

ls -l /usr/bin/passwd
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 37140 2010-01-26 12:09 /usr/bin/passwd
so we need to remove the suid for that command as follows :- chmod u-s /usr/bin/passwd now normal users won't be able to change their own passwords - and only the root user will be able to do it for them.

View 5 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE Install :: Changing Password User That Is Not Logged In?
Apr 15, 2010I'm looking for a user-friendly way to change the password of a user that is *not* currently logged into the machine. We have a machine that is used by a number of users with a low level of tech savvy. The machine gets logged in as a generic user which works for most purposes, but due to a management requirement, we need Firefox to be run under an account set up for the individual user. I've gotten that bit to work fine, but what I can't figure out is a friendly (GUI) way to allow users to change their own password while the machine is logged in as the generic user. I would like to use gnome-passwd, but I've been unable to figure out how to get it to run for a user other than the logged-in generic user.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Changing Session Type When Login In Without Password?
Sep 26, 2010I am unable to change session type when not requiring passord on login.
How requiring password was changed:
System/Administration/Users and Groups
Clicked on my User
Clicked "Change" next to "Password: Asked on login"
Checked the checkbox for "Don't ask for password on login"
OK'd, everything
Please try this yourself as it might be hard to understand. But the option to change session type (ie: Gnome failsafe instead of reguar Gnome) is only visable along side with the password field.
Is it possible to make the session type setting visable without requiering password on login?
