Hoi, to all of you who are running a grml system or plan to do so:
Affected software ================= grml2hd - install grml on harddisk Problem ======= Setting the password in grml2hd is done via chpasswd. If you provide a password it will be set correct and login is possible with the provided password. But login is also possible with providing just the first 8 characters of the password. Fix for existing installations ============================== Please run 'passwd' manually after hd-installation (for normal user and user root). So if you are using passwords with more than 8 characters please run: # passwd and # passwd <username> where <username> is the user with UID 1000 on your grml system. This makes sure that login is possible only with the full length password. Fix for upcoming grml2hd installations ======================================= Please run: # apt-get update ; apt-get install grml2hd before running grml2hd itself so you get the fixed and up2date grml2hd version. Additional notes ================ The issue has been documented also at: http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=grml_0.8 Credits ======= The issue has been discovered and reported by Matthias Kopfermann. thx for notice && regards, -mika- -- http://grml.org/ # Linux for texttool-users and sysadmins http://wiki.grml.org/ # share your knowledge http://grml.supersized.org/ # the grml development weblog #grml @ irc.freenode.org # meet us on irc
