Software :: Disable / Block The Accounts Of The Users Who Have Not Accessed The It From 2 Months From Today
Mar 4, 2011We have 4 servers having rhel 5.2. We have several users logged in on one of them. We have nis server/client running on them and have common home area mounted on all of them. Now we want to disable/block the accounts of the users who have not accessed our servers in last 2 months from today. What logic should we apply to do so? We were checking stat of .bashrc of each user but is not correct logic. We are going to write shell script for the same. We don't want to do anything in users home area or their files.

May 12, 2011I am using CentOS 5.6 and recently, well since I updated to 5.6 when I login through ssh/telnet I am prompted to change the password of any account which is my LDAP directory. Local accounts are unaffected. I haven't tried the console as this server is tucked away in a tiny room. This is really annoying because I don't want to run password expiry on that server and I'm sure that there's nothing in LDAP to indicate password expiry is on. My shadowmax is 9999 by default for every account..which is over 27 years I think. It's only started recently. I'd like to know how I can turn the expiry message off. I'd like to get rid of cracklib as well.
my etc/pam.d/sshd is
#%PAM-1.0
auth include system-auth
account required pam_nologin.so
account include system-auth
password include system-auth
session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session include system-auth
session required pam_loginuid.so

Ubuntu Security :: Disable Listing Of User Accounts In 'Switch From'
May 12, 2010Once again, nobody seems to understand security properly when they decide to add nifty new features. After upgrading to 10.04 from 9.10, I now have a listing of all the user accounts under "Switch from" when I go the the logout menu at the upper right side of the task bar. This is a terrible security hole that should never have been allowed in the first place, and is just as annoying as the default behavior of listing all the user accounts on the login screen.

Feb 9, 2010Not sure if this goes here or under Security, however, I have hacked together some code from two different sources to make a password generator for FTP accounts.Question: How will the "strength" of an eight character password generated by the following code compare to a human generated eight character password? Will they be equally as strong?Is reading from /dev/urandom good/better/worse then just using RANDOM()? Will "salting" either result add more "strength"?Password Generator.

Ubuntu :: Sharing Gnome Password Manager Between Multiple Accounts
May 17, 2010I use gnome password manager. It stores encrypted passwords in the ~/.gpass directory.I have 2 users, johnny, and audio. My default gpass setup is at /home/johnny/.gpass I've created a group called gpassusers and added johnny and audio. I chgrp'd /home/johnny/.gpass to gpassusers. I chmod'd /home/johnny/.gpass 770 (to give group access) I then created a symlink as follows
Code:
ln -s /home/johnny/.gpass /home/audio/.gpass
when I try to cd into /home/audio/.gpass I get
Code:
audio@picard:~$ cd .gpass
bash: cd: .gpass: Permission denied
for sanity's sake, here's the ls of johnny's home directory
Code:
drwxrwx--- 2 johnny gpassusers 4096 2010-05-17 19:34 .gpass
and here's the ls of audio's home directory
Code:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 audio audio 19 2010-05-17 19:34 .gpass -> /home/johnny/.gpass
and just to verify groups are set up properly
Code:
audio@picard:~$ groups audio
audio : audio adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape dip video plugdev fuse admin gpassusers

Apr 5, 2010I would like to restrict a few selected accounts to minimum of 15 characters passwords. Other accounts,however, should still be able to login with 8 character passwords. This is in RHEL 5. Does anyone know how to go about it? I have checked PAM documentation and pam_cracklib.so has an option minlen. As per its documentation, minlen can force users to use 15 characters, but it forces every account on the system. I might be wrong too.

Ubuntu :: Change Root Password - Typing A Password, No Characters Show Up?
Mar 9, 2010I'm really new to Linux so this will probably sound like a pretty naive question to most users, but how do you change the root password?To install Java, I have to type # su into Terminal,which then asks for the password.What's weird is that when I start typing a password, no characters show up. I don't know if this is supposed to happen or not.I've found a bunch of different sites on the Internet that explain how to change the root password, but none of them seem to work for my specific work station.
I've got Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. In the GRUB boot menu, I can choose to boot normal or in recovery mode (I'm led to believe older versions don't have this option).I've tried typing # sudo passwrd into Terminal, but I already have a root password set up apparently, so I can't change it there.

OpenSUSE Install :: Change In Inittab - Login - Does Not Ask For A Password And It Says Wrong Password
Nov 22, 2010I work on a product that have to start automatically an application. Running Opensuse 11.2 So in the inittab I have : 1:2345:once:/root/Velox/VeloxBoot.sh 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
In the VeloxBoot.sh, if I don't press any key, my application starts after a timeout. If the user presses a key I want to have a login prompt. Unfortunately, if I start /bin/login, I have a prompt with login, but once I enter my login, it does not ask for a password and it says wrong password
