pwutil convert my password single backward slash \ into double slahes \\ please help
i put my password into pwutil .dat file its convert all my backword slashes in to double slashes. tries abc\xyz convert abc\\xyz |
you used a slash in your password? why? is that even legal? it looks like NOT. because it tried to compensate for it by giving you this mess. did you try matching what that pwutil did to your passwords to get into your system. so you can change them?
what is wrong with just doing this? Code:
passwd username |

if it is that kind of password, meaning almost like that one you're now having problems with,(someone must have had a typo) then it effected over 100 servers all at once? if yes, then cannot the solution be done in the same fashion to fix over 100 servers all at once? as I thought you're just dealing with one system. Which your problem is out of my knowledge base. how to run a script to change root password on over 100 servers would be a question to post or research. |
But no one would be stupid enough to make their root password derivable from its host name or a MAC address etc.
Would they? They should be condemned to spend a whole day at the terminal correcting their slash mistakes. :) |
