I use the utiity on ipswitch's site called extractusers.exe users. i run it every day at 4am with 7.15 and it creates text file's for each domain with all the username and passwords in plain text. i then zip it up and store it on a backup, with a few minuites editing in ultraedit (colum editing) i can create a file that adduser will accept in the event of a disaster.

Passwords should not be accessable by anyone. Certain people with sufficient rights on the server should be able to change them, but that is it. Leaving the passwords open for people to see on the server is a BIG security issue. If you're a small business, with 1 or 2 people who have exclusive access to the server, that's one thing. If you're bigger, and have a support team of people, that's where your security risk comes into play.

I do not understand why the administrator dose not have the ability to see what the passwords are. I should never have to go and change a password because the customer did not remember it. This should be common support and we should not have to pay for programs to extract passwords from the registry. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sanford Whiteman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "kwl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 11:37 AM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Extracting imail database passwords > > Just upgraded to 7.07 and I need to get passwords for a domain. > > The program from synsoft.net dose not work just keeps failing. any > > ideas or programs that will work? > > Look for Evans Martin's IPB at martek.net. > > -Sandy > > > ------------------------------------ > Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist > Broadleaf Systems, a division of > Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. > e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ------------------------------------ > > > To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html > List Archive: > http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ > Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ > To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
