[ubuntu] ircd-hybrid password problem

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I have installed ircd-hybrid from the Ubuntu repo. It is version 7.2.2. I can't get password protection to work. If I add a password= line to the auth block, it just doesn't allow any connections at all anymore. I have tried both a plaintext password and an encryped password (with mkpasswd), neither works. If I leave the password= line out, the server works fine (except for the password, obviously). I'm using Ubuntu 10.04. Please don't tell me to upgrade to 12, the 'server' has only 256MB RAM.

Stories similar to [ubuntu] ircd-hybrid password problem

hi, this is my first post here but i have been using ubuntu for a few months now. i have ubuntu installed on my desktop which is connected to my lan via ethernet. when i click on places>network i can see my laptop running win 7. when i double click on my laptop it prompts me for my password. however, i do not know which password to put it.

Currently they are the same with 2 of my dedicated server.

I wonder if I change my cpanel whm password, will the root ssh password change too?

The other way around, if I change the ssh password with password command, will whm password change too?

This thread http://forums.cpanel.net/f5/changing-whm-root-password-command-line-3457... seems to suggest that it's yes but somehow doesn't work for

sudo (Which I have configured to ask for a password) is rejecting my password (as if I mis-typed it) I am absolutely not typing it incorrectly. I have changed the password temporarily to alphabetic characters only, and it looks fine in plaintext, in the same terminal.

Ubuntu password policy 39 weeks 20 hours ago

I want to set the system-wide password policy on an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server.

I have an Ubuntu server with MySQL.

On the command line, this works

mysqldump -u root -p paydaydebt

(then I have to manually type the password)

On the command line, these do not work:

mysqldump -u root -p{password} paydaydebt mysqldump -u root --password={password} paydaydebt

Is there any way I can enter the password with -p or --password?

I am trying to connect to my network, it is WPA PSK , I know the password is correct yet ubuntu keeps asking for the password over and over again. I tried to download WICD manager, Wicd returns the password as bad password.

I switched over to BackTrack5R3, it's wicd accepts the password but can't get an IP.

In my Win7 it works fine.

How is this possible? What should I do?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm doing an install of 10.04 onto an old G4 Powerbook and I'm having trouble with ubuntu constantly requesting a password update.

Doing a password change in the GUI or command line does change the password but chage shows Last password change: as password must be changed.

Thanks for any help

Missing password 1 year 14 weeks ago

I just installed again ubuntu 11.10 because ubuntu asked me for a password that I didn't have... And now again... Because I have just gone to the configuration of the users accounts and i removed the root password, and now ubuntu asks me for a password, and i put the removed password but it says me that it's incorrect!

becase I installed a ldap server, I am making a server client authentication for server users but having problem with password thing. if I put a password in add ldif file and put some encoding tag in front of the password like {crypt}somepassword and add it to ldap as new user it works.
