Okay, so I am using slackware linux 9.1 here at work and i have been trying to get it running as the email server. I have been using www.qmailrocks.org to get it all set up and in part six (http://www.qmailrocks.org/vqadmin.htm) is where you set the domain and password stuff.
I wasn't able to completely set up where I stored my password like how they did it on the website because of some problems. so i stored that in a different file. But, I wrote that all down so in case i forgot i could look it up....then my coworker threw away that piece of paper and now i think i'm in trouble.
I want to go back through that section and just set the password and stuff again, but will it realize that i've done it now somewhere else? or will it still want the previous one that i don't remember where i put it?
When you looked at the password, was it a 13 character long set of random characters? If so it's likely that it is stored as the standard DES password.
You'll either need to brute force decrypt it (fun!) or replace it with another DES encrypted password. :)
ummm..no I never saw a 13 random character set.....I didn't really see anything that looked like a password. Am i looking in the wrong place if i just type "vi .htaccess" ?
If you can make any sense out of all this...that'd be so awesome!
ectory "/var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu/vqadmin">
deny from all
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order deny,allow
</Directory>

and I got this after typing vi .htaccess I have no idea if there is something else i should type to get the password i'm looking for......
Thanks so much for your help! But I think i'm still having some trouble. I tried opening /usr/local/apache/conf/vqadmin.passwd in my vi editor and i got pretty much a blank screen. Should I have done something else? It kind of looks like my password isn't there
