Fedora :: File Gets Password Protected?

Mar 22, 2010

This is sort of a weird question.'m helping an agency develop a Microsoft Access database. They use windows and I use Fedora. I can run Access in Crossover Office if I don't get too fancy.I've sent what I've done to them for their review and comments and somehow it has become password protected. I've checked the Access settings and their is no password set from Access. I've tried a chmod666 on the file and sent it to him again and he says it is still calling for a password

Ubuntu :: File Share Over Web (with Password)?

Feb 18, 2010

I have set up an Ubuntu box at home as a server (though using the desktop version as I wanted a GUI - may at some point use it for plugging a TV into etc to play meda), but want to be able to remote access files on it when away from home.

I have set up with a DYNDNS account and know how to route web requests to the server machine, but want to know the best way to have it share files so that they are accessible (upload and download) via a web browser. Ideally, it would run some sort of file manager-like interface, but as long as I can upload and download files, it doesn't matter if it is a bit rough. I have a folder set up as a Samba share, and just want it to access that (and its subfolders).

The only other thing I would need from it would be that it requires a password before it lets someone do anything, as it will be open to the wild (while I probably won't use port 80, open is still open...)

OpenSUSE :: Assign A Password To A File Or A Folder?

Sep 2, 2010

I know there are permissions one can assign to certain files and folders, but this won't come in handy if you need quick access to a file -and as User I often do- and don't want to slow down getting root permissions. You know, just open-close-move on. Is there a way, as user, to assign a password to a file or a folder? It would make the job a lot easier and more efficient.

OpenSUSE :: Samba Password File Fails

Oct 18, 2010

I run:

Linux 2.6.27.48-0.3-pae i686
openSUSE 11.1
KDE 3.5.10

When I attempt to determine who's in the samba database or enter a new member in the file I get the following: No builtin nor plugin backend for tbdsam found PANIC (pid 8201): pdb_get_methods_reload: failed to get pdb methods for backend tbdsam

[Code]....

I attempted to upgrade from the software.opensuse.org website with samba-3.60-10.1.i586.rpm. I get a message: Nothing provides cifs-utils needed by samba-client-3.60-10.1.i586.rpm. So I could not upgrade. There are other upgrades on the site but they are not available for some reason. What is an appropriate upgrade? Is upgrading the solution? If not then what?

General :: Rsync - Password-file Not Working ?

May 23, 2011

I made a shell backup script that uses Rsync and I am trying to get rid of the password prompt because it will use a CRON to run. I have set my variable in my shell script at:

PASSWORD_FILE=rsync_password

And the password in that file only takes up 1 line.

However when I run (ignore $DESTINATION)

rsync -aRvz tmp $DESTINATION --password-file=$PASSWORD_FILE

It still gives me the prompt. How can I accomplish this? I cannot allow a prompt and I do not want to have to use keys.

Ubuntu :: Password Lock A File/folder?

May 24, 2011

What's the easiest way to make a given file/folder (or multiple files) require a password upon opening moving copying etc, without encrypting the file/archive. The password should at least be manually defined upon establishing it, and preferably it could be modified.

I'm aware of the community belief that this is redundant. I don't want to know how to start from scratch a different way, or why I should or shouldn't do this or that. Just how to password lock a file/folder regardless of your feelings on the matter lol.

General :: Encrypted Password File Management

May 21, 2010

So in an environment where I have 40+ sets of completely unique sets of logon credentials. The only way I've been able to manage this is by keeping them in a hidden and heavily encrypted text file in my home dir.Would like to hear alternatives to this approach if there are any, BTW. Right now I have a script that automates the process of un-encrypting the file, launching an editor and then clean-up with shred -u after editing and re-encrypting.

What bugs me is the interim where I have the file in an un-encrypted state on my drive. It doesn't seem necessary. I have a view script that allows me to see what's in the file without saving it to the drive.

General :: Shadow File Password Policy?

Oct 1, 2010

Today i was going through some of security guides written on linux .Under shadow file security following points were mentioned.1)The encrypted password stored under /etc/shadow file should have more than 14-25 characters.2)Usernames in shadow file must satisfy to all the same rules as usernames in /etc/passwd.3)password for application Username should display * if username is not locked.4)If a user is locked it should be displayed as ! as the first character in second field of shadow file.

Confusion for point 1 and 2:Now i m confused as why the encrypted password should be more than 14-25 characters.Also what rules to satisfy How to check it?Confusion for point 3 and 4:There are lot of users with * as second field i guess they are not locked but according to 4th point there are lot of users with ! as first characters.How would i check whether they are actually locked or not.I m posting the output of /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd files for the account.

Security :: Read Password From AES Encryption From Txt File?

Jan 18, 2011

am fiddling around using an AES encrypted password which is stored in passwd.txt:cat ../passwd/passwd.txt
{AES}yTMWTrdbuPtCxikvv5udVDTQ70anBVVKvP+GPQEH1RY=Yet I like to interpret this password on the command line using svn checkout, so I do not have to type in my password ( which is visible on the command line):Exporting the variable SVNPASS reading it from the passwd.txt ( export SVNPASS=`cat <../passwd/passwd.txt`) won't work obviously as it interprets it as "text", so my question is, if there is a proper way to interpret this stored AES password so I can read it from the file?The alternative is to type in the password on the command line, but this needs to be invisible eitehr showing #, * or "hidden".
the last option is described: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/278/h...-shell-script/

Ubuntu :: Kubuntu 10.04 .run File - Get A Window That Asks For My Password ?

Aug 27, 2010

I'm new to Linux altogether. I installed World of Warcraft and have it running, but my framerates are low. I have it set to run in OpenGL already, so I figured I'd try to update my graphics driver. I downloaded the driver and it's a .run file. I have it set to run as an executable. When I run the file, I get a window that asks for my password. I input my password and press enter. Shortly, I get a window that says I need to run this file as super user. I tried to go into the command line and I typed "sudo home/nicholas/downloads/ati-driver-installer-10-8-x86.x86_64.run". I put in my password and Konsole tells me "run: command not found". How would I run this file in Konsole using super user?

Ubuntu Networking :: File Sharing On LAN / Password & Quota

Nov 2, 2010

I was wondering if it was possible within Ubuntu to:

a) Make a shared folder to the extent that people can view it but to access/open it requires a password.
b) Set that folder to have a set size (quota) so that people putting files onto the store/folder don't flood my computer with video/music.

I am currently at Loughborough University and am on their LAN as I type.So guys/gals are there any programs on the synaptic that do such a job or does Ubuntu already have an inbuilt way of doing that.

Ubuntu :: Password Protected .doc File; Only Opens As Read Only?

Nov 30, 2010

I created a password-protected .doc file in Windows yesterday using the latest version of OpenOffice (3.2.1)Opening the file worked perfectly; double-clicked the file, OpenOffice popped up and prompted me for the password, then it let me edit the document as usual.Tried it on another computer with Microsoft Word; worked perfectly as wellFor some reason though, it won't work in Ubuntu (10.10). I'll double-click the file, it'll open with OpenOffice and prompt me for the password, but once it opens it's in "Read Only" mode.I tried it on another Windows computer, just to see if it would work, and it did.I right-clicked the .doc file and looked at the permissions: (picture edited for privacy)Every time I tried changing it from "Read-only" to "Read and write" it automatically (and immediately) switched back to "Read-only"
