RE: [webmin-l] Change Password error

[Dave I. <dav...@en...>]

Here is the line from /etc/shadow

entconfig:FTtGqKpdrEpjg:13196:0:99999:7:::

In Users and Groups, the Pre-encrypted password shows up as FTtGqKpdrEpjg.

Thanks

Dave I

Hi Dave,
That is definately a bug..
What does the user in question have in the password field of his entry in
/etc/passwd or /etc/shadow? Or more importantly, if you edit him in the
Users and Groups module, does his encrypted password show up properly?

Sorry, I have to take that back.  This doesn't work.
 
Yes, it allows me to change the password, but now I can put anything in the
"Old Password" field and have it work.  That's bad.

Hi Dave, 
Basically, all I did was change the function unix_crypt in the file
web-lib-funcs.pl to: 

# unix_crypt(password, salt) 
# Performs Unix encryption on a password, using crypt() or Crypt::UnixCrypt
sub unix_crypt { local ($pass, $salt) = @_; 
return "" if (!$salt);   # same as real crypt 
local $rv = eval "crypt(\$pass, \$salt)"; 
local $err = $@; 
return $rv if ($rv && !$@); 
eval "use Crypt::UnixCrypt"; 
if (!$@) { 
        return Crypt::UnixCrypt::crypt($pass, $salt); 
        } 
else { 
        &error("Failed to encrypt password : $err"); 
        } 
} 

You could do the same thing by directly editing that file in your copy of
Webmin.
