Re: admin password?
Hi! I know two ways, how to crack a system with a lost root password. 1. Use a livefile-cd like knoppix and mount the partitition witrh /etc/shadow on. Then remove everything at root between the first two :: At next boot, you will not be asked for a root password. 2. Boot with kon-boot. Google for it and download the image. You can create a floppy- or a cd-image. Good luck! Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: admin password?
If that option doesn't work out, you can usually grab any old Linux live media of the same architecture as what you have installed and set up a chroot onto your install, which will get you root access onto your installed system.

Admin password (cn=admin,dc=config) for OpenLDAP in Debian Squeeze
Hi!
I've browsed the configuration page for slapd[1] and it mentions that,
for starting from version 2.3, The LDAP configuration engine allows all
of slapd's configuration options to be changed on the fly, generally
without requiring a server restart for the changes to take effect.
I'm using slapd 2.4.23-7 on a Debian Squeeze (testing). Trying to
configure TLS support I've found this page[2] mentions using the
cn=admin,dc=config account and a password for it. What is the user and
password required to update the LDAP configuration database in a
Debian-based configuration?
I found out the password should be stored as olcRootPW in the
olcDatabase={0}config. However, the default configuration lacks this
password:
---
# slapcat -n0 | grep -C 5 '^\(olcRootDN\|olcRootPW\)'
olcAccess: {0}to * by * none
olcAddContentAcl: TRUE
olcLastMod: TRUE
olcMaxDerefDepth: 15
olcReadOnly: FALSE
olcRootDN: cn=config
olcSyncUseSubentry: FALSE
olcMonitoring: FALSE
structuralObjectClass: olcDatabaseConfig
entryUUID: ed743d3a-adc6-102f-9a18-f1967b980507
creatorsName: cn=config
---
I found the easiest way was to add a olcRootPW option to the
olcDatabase={0}config file (password generated using slappasswd) and
then restarting the server. However, manually editing these files is
discouraged, but I didn't find a better way.
How should this be handled. Is there a specialized way of configuring
the above mentioned password?

Like I said, update icon that shows up in the toolbar after the system checks for update had that new popup which I never saw before. I've done the upgrade so now to see what the next upgrade brings with respect to the 'keyring unlock' popup. Maybe it was a hiccup. GNOME keyring should unlock when the system starts and then just asks for user's password when using NM connections or accessing to network shares, but I've never seen it to ask for root's password in update manager :-? Yep, I would also wait and see for the next update available. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

update manager wants admin password
All of a sudden I am getting the following message when I click on the update manager icon --- | enter password for keyring 'default' to unlock | the application 'gksu' (/usr/bin/gksu) wants access to the keyring 'default' but it is locked I can do two actions -- enter the admin password and click OK or click deny If I click deny I get a popup that say enter the administrator password and the statement the application 'update manager' lets you modify essential parts of your system. Remember Password is checked. Save in keyring is checked. Did I get 'hit' by some keystroke/phishing malware? Is this some new security that has been implemented? I'm running Debian Lenny and this is something that has recently occurred. Before I enter my password to do the updates I want to be sure its not someone thats hacked into my system.

I always get asked for root password when there are updates available in the update manager icon. If you get a keyring unlock message maybe is because you are using sudo instead plain su and then you have to provide your user password, not root's one. BTW, I'd be worried if the update manager does not ask me for the root password ;-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

LDAP admin password configuring libnss-ldap and libpam-ldap
Hi I have setup a server with LDAP and Samba. Now i want to LDAP hosts authenticate with the LDAP server too, so i have installed in each host libnss-ldap, libpam-ldap and nscd. Everything works fine, but I don't know why these packages need the ldap admin password. Although the ldap.secret file is not world readable, i don't want the users could see it with sudo. And what would happen if i change the ldap admin password? Do I have to change it in every host? NB: I have configured libnss-ldap without the needing of the passwords, but I couldn't configure libpam-ldap to not use it. Thanks in advance. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: LDAP admin password configuring libnss-ldap and libpam-ldap
It is needed for actions where local user is root, so local root could, if necessary change users passwords in LDAP. If that is not desirable, you do not have to use it. You can put same name/password that you have put for ordinary lookups. On Mon, Apr 21, 2008 at 9:30 PM, Juan Asensio Sánchez [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I have setup a server with LDAP and Samba.
