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.
Is there a way to change password to value same as the previous password? I know this is a security flaw, but would like to know however. when I try this:
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 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.
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'm using a program on a group of servers which contact each other using SSH. I've got the authentication keys setup with no password but when one box tries to connect to another it wants the password for the user it's trying to communicate with. So the main problem is there is a lot of communicating within this program so it's important to allow each box communicate with each other without the use of a password. I'm using OpenSSH 4.3 with OpenSSL 0.9.8 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5.3 (Tikanga). I'm also using SSH on Ubuntu(Intrepid) to connect to these servers at the mo as i don't have direct access to the boxes.
Yesterday, when I was installing Redhat Enterprise 5.4 on a HP server, I asked myself "how can I regain my access to the server if I happen to forget the root password?" I knew there must be a way. I consulted with my friend "Google". I'd like to share it here as my 1st post (too bad that I'm not allowed to paste screenshots)
1) Boot up the server, when you are at the "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server..." entry, press "e". 2) Highlight the "kernel /vmlinuz...." line then press "e" again. 3) Type the word "single" to the end of the line (with an empty space before the word single). Press Enter. 4) Press "b" 5) System will boot. When you get the prompt "#", type "passwd" to enter in new password for root. 6) Reboot the system. Done

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.
I have now been trying to find an answer for the following for a while and can't seem to get anything.On previous linux distros we had the option available "passwd -e" which allowed us to force the user to change their passwords upon the next login.s functionality however seems to be excluded from latest linux distros (currently using RHEL 5.4)...Does anybody know how the same effect can be achieved and perhaps any idea on why this option was removed as it was great for securing passwords
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 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?
