My master password is not saving any passwords in Firefox. I use this also in Windows XP, and all my passwords get saved. Furthermore, is this even a good idea to begin with? Can the passwords be stolen easily?
View 9 RepliesI just tried out setting a master password for Firefox saved passwords and compared the old and new (before and after setting the master password) signons.sqlite files. Although passwords were not stored in plain text in either of the files, I did notice that the files were exactly the same. Am I wrong in assuming that setting the master password did not encrypt anything at all, or am I simply looking at the wrong file?

Do you know of a way to have the master password in a file on a USB stick?
I am also looking for a way to integrate keepassx with firefox. I found passifox at[URL].. It depends on keepasshttp and seems to be a windows thing.
I'm using Firefox (v 3.0.9) under Kubuntu (just update to v9.04) and activated the password reminder (via Preferences -> Security -> Remember passwords for sites)but no password are rembered. This functionality was working previously (unfortunately I cannot state when it start to stop).It was already not working before my upgrade to v9.04.
View 6 Replies View RelatedThere is this one server running CentOS5.4 Final which has certain application like Bugzilla. I have setup ssh on it and setup is for password less authentication. Have also setup PasswordAuthentication to no. So with password authentication should succeed. But it is. Though password less authentication is working fine, but I am also able to login using password.
Code:
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
PermitEmptyPasswords no
PasswordAuthentication no
Some how I seem to be locked out of my desktop computer. My password isn't working. For some reason all of a sudden it seems to have stopped working. I tried to reboot and now I'm locked out, I can't login. And I'm the only sudo user. How can I fix it or even reset my password

I have a dual boot computer. The WindowsXP "side" has been infected with a rootkit virus. So far UBUNTU has not been affected to my knowledge. I have not yet been able to remove the virus from the WindowsXP "side". I am thinking of deleting the NTFS partition and have the computer fully dedicated to UBUNTU.
Now for my question. Is there a possibility that the virus resides in the MBR and that I need to "rebuild" the MBR to actually remove the virus? Even more extreme, should I totally re-install UBUNTU in the name of safety and precaution.
I'm managing a residential network. Each flat is its own subnet, and can only communicate with the other flats through a router (i.e. no broadcast). 95% of these 300 subnets only contains windows computers (from lambda users).
My final goal is to be able to browse the entire network from any computer.
I set up a samba server acting as a wins server, and every computer is aware of it because it is registered in the dhcp. So name resolution is working fine for everyone.
The same samba server is set to be the "Domain master browser":
workgroup = WORKGROUP
wins support = yes
prefered master = yes
local master = yes
domain master = yes
os level = 65
When I browse the network (using "net view" or "browstat view"), I can only see the servers which are in the same subnet as the domain master browser.
Now, when in a subnet the computers arrange themselves to find a "local master browser", the only visible computers are the one in that subnet.
What I don't understand is why all the local masters don't synchronize their lists with the domain master.
So, to sum up, every subnet get the following behaviour:
-if a local master is elected, the only visible computers are the one in the same subnet.
-if no local master is elected, the only visible computers are the one in the subnet of the domain master.
-if I add another samba, configured as a local master winning all elections, then the magic is working and the lists are synchronized.
What is expected:
-every computer can see all the computer from all the subnets.
everytime i try to vnc to my box, it pops up the keyring authentication, which is obviously a huge problem when logging in remotely.how do i change my keyring password to match my login password?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI know this has probably been asked too many times here but I need to secure my emails. Personal matters of course. But yeah. I use the program "Password and Encryption Keys" to generate a key to sign my emails with but I do not know what to do. To be blunt, I'm stupid when it comes to this. IF not, steps in creating a key? and giving it (my public key) to the significant other? Finding where both keys are? Implementing it into Thunderbird? If it helps any here's some extra information: Ubuntu distro: Ubuntu 10.04 Email client: Thunderbird

View 5 Replies View RelatedI already posted a topic similar to this concerning the Desktop OS version, but this deals with the Netbook because unlike the Desktop, the Netbook is less cooperative. Allow me to elaborate: Today (or rather yesterday since it's not after midnight where I am), I changed my password because I was hopelessly confounded about how to get my Wireless Network card up and running after it had been installed and I was allowing my dad to use it. This issue has since been resolved, however...
When I chose my password during the original installation, there was no mention of it being "too simple." This is where the Desktop OS and the Netbook OS differ. The desktop will let me change it in the terminal without any errors. The Netbook will not. When I've attempted to revert it back to the original, it will not let me do so in the User Profile or in the Terminal. The Passwords and Encryption Keys application also does not appear to help.
So now even after I've changed it to a different "complicated" password I am still prompted to insert two different passwords since I changed my user password but I am unable to change the password I input during the installation. A bit screwy methinks. This is extremely important. I'd like to know how to change the original installation password.
If I can't change the main password on my laptop then this is a serious potential security breach just waiting to happen (especially since it's on a laptop and I will be hauling it around with me) and I will most likely install a different OS if this isn't resolved --- It would be very unfortunate since I spent the whole day fixing it and I really enjoy the interface. Luckily I can live with this on my Desktop since I'm not going to be hauling it around with me everywhere when the school year starts.
I have a load balancer with 2 web servers behind it. The web servers rsync with cloud storage to update their apache directories 1 time every hour. Apache is just running php pages that pull/push data to a DB so they dont need to be updated that often. However I need to figure out how to implement a Master/Master MySQL setup to have my web servers point to for the PHP stuff. I need to implement it without having a single point of failure. The Load balancers are useless for failover as they only detect availability based on Ping request. So putting a master/master setup behind a Load Balancer is out. what is the best way to setup the master/master mysql in a HA setup without the use of a load balancer provided by the host?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI run a compute cluster with only a few users. Occasionally a user will accidently run a job on the master node that runs out RAM/swaps then hanges up for a while.In /etc/security/limits.conf I have set memlock to 7.5GB (master has 8GB RAM) and maybe that is what lets the machine come back rather than hanging completely? Is this the right setting to physocally limit a single user from asking for more RAM than the system has and bringing down the system? Should I set this to 2GB or so or is there something else I can do??
View 4 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know when we'll see Firefox 3.0.19 packaged for 8.04 LTS? I'm still stuck at 3.0.18. And what will happen after this? My understanding is that after .19 Mozilla is dropping support for FF 3.0.
Upgrade policies not withstanding, I find it rather annoying when an "LTS" release doesn't keep up with the most security-critical package in the distro, the browser. 8.04 LTS should have moved to FF 3.5+ a *long* time ago. Now it seems it will be forced to do so or else just forget about browser updates for the last year of 8.04?
I know I can install the current Firefox with ubuntuzilla, I just keep wishing Ubuntu would do it for me.
Firefox 3.5 has a critical java script vulnerability as noted in the recent news. I had to manually update to 3.5.1 using the mozilla tarball because there's still no Firefox 3.5.1 in Fedora Updates or even Fedora Updates Testing repositories. Is this normal? I didn't want to resort to using the mozilla one because now I can't use flash (my system is 64 bit and mozilla only seems to offer a 32bit tar file of Firefox) and having two Firefoxs means dealing with the ProfileManager, separate bookmarks and so on.
I'm trying to find out if I'm just looking in the wrong place, I tried the normal mirrors for "updates" for Fedora 11 and then updates-testing and also the baseurl for "updates" to get rid of the mirror update delay. None of them seem to have 3.5.1 ?
I've got a strange issue here concerning Firefox. Of some sites i don't ant my login and password to be saved by Firefox. The question pops up (below navigation bar) i click no and it's gone. But when i go to the same website, let's say, the next day, i get the same question. This issue is not related to 1 website, it's doing with all kinds of sites i log in to.
How can i prevent that FF comes up with that question to remember my login/password even when i clicked on No, do not remember? Pleae keep in mind that some site i do let FF save my login/password, those sites are regular visited by me. So unchecking the option in preferences i rather don't want that.
Who can tell me why FF keeps coming up with that question even if i click on no?
I wish to know how to wipe the stored password on my fire-fox on my ubuntu system

View 4 Replies View RelatedA while ago, I removed the Ubuntu One entry from my Startup Applications because it was annoying having to activate the keyring every time I booted up/logged on. Now, I am prompted for a password once I start Firefox (mind that it's only the first time I run Firefox after boot/login). I'm assuming it's Ubuntu One because of the sequence of events, but feel free to correct me if you think otherwise. How can I stop this?
Running standard Ubuntu 10.04.
When I start firefox the first thing it does is asking a username and a password. Very strange. Other browsers do not do this authomatically, but they do if i type localhost in the adressbar. I'm using ubuntu10.04, and firefox 3.6.11. At the very beginning I thought that there was some problem with TOR, since the problem first appeared one day I turned it on (I had used it before, without having any problem). Now I've completely uninstalled TOR, but the problem is still there.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm new to ubuntu. Now iam using Karmic Koala. I want to change my password. So i used,
system->Administration->users and groups to change my password . As i entered my new password and clicked on 'Change Password', It is saying, 'password changed'. But when I click the close button in the main users and groups window, it is asking for my password, and I am forced to enter my old password only.
After the window is closed, i logout to check whether my password is changed. But it is not. I have to enter my old password to login.
i set my pass on ubuntu 10.4 and it work so good on installing app but suddenly it stopped working i thought i would restart my pc i tried to inter my pass again ubuntu don't accept it although it's surely true
View 7 Replies View RelatedI had this great idea to try and change the UBUNTU password. So I took not so drastic effort..I went to System>Administration>Users and Groups. There I clicked on my login name.Clicked on Properties and used the Change Password Button to Change my login password. I did that. [I thought this is the way to change the login password]. After that as usual I tried to launch the Empathy! It started asking me about some Keyring password! I gave my new password and it worked. Now, the weirdness of the issue is that..
1)If I want to login to UBUNTU..I have to give the Old Password [The password which I gave when installing Ubuntu;as if the password change has not come into affect]
oO mount..I have to give old password
To update I have to give old password.
But!
2)To get my things done in Empathy..that is to get the Keyring Challenge done! I have to give the new password and old password does not work here.
I want to stop empathy from asking me about the KEYRING thing. Roll back the system to the previous state; before the password change thing. What exactly went wrong or right? and What is really happening to my system. I mean things are all normal, so far..but why the two passwords? I dont use any heavy things on my machine..just a bit of browsing and Empathy..thats all.and only the default applications are installed on my machine. I use Ubuntu Karmic 9.10.
