Re: [Vyatta-users] User and Password Management

2007-08-27 Thread An-Cheng Huang
Hi Daren,

1) There are several possibilities. First, make sure you are not logged in as 
'vyatta' (can't delete a logged-in user). Secondly, even if you are not logged 
in as vyatta, if you have logged in as vyatta and then logged out, sometimes 
the system still shows vyatta as logged in (and thus deleting it will fail), so 
you might want to reboot the box, log in as root, and then delete vyatta. 
Finally, earlier versions have a problem where deleting a user fails 
intermittently, which has been corrected now.

2) Yes, the plaintext gets encrypted on commit, and the plaintext should be 
cleared. However, in some cases, the plaintext is still displayed afterwards. 
See the following bug:

https://bugzilla.vyatta.com/show_bug.cgi?id=745

A workaround now is to manually delete the plaintext if this happens.

3) At the moment, all users created have the same access.

Hope this helps.

 Hi guys,
 
 1) How do i remove the default user 'vyatta'?
 I keep getting commit fail
 
 2) For root password,  I just change it but i realise i have to change it 
 using the plaintext option
 On commit it will encrypt... is it normal?
 
 Also, after I commit, the plaintext password is still viewable in show 
 system login
 
 why so?
 
 
 Lastly, how do I create users with different access rights?
 Or I can't?
 
 Thanks!
 Daren

 I just downloaded the ISO, so I suppose its the latest stable version?

Actually, this isn't the latest stable version. It's the latest stable
ISO, but you'll want to do a package update. The details for how to do
this can be found in the latest release notes here:
