Not really - passwords are stored in a file within the user's auth directory within the Nessus user base. The file is named 'hash' if it's stored as an MD5 hash or 'password' if it's plaintext. > I would like to set it > up so people can manage their own passwords. It would be fairly straightforward to write a script to do this provided all your users have shell access on the Nessus server. Look at nessus-adduser to see how it's done when saving the password initially. Alternatively, have you considered setting users up to authenticate with certificates? This would enable them to change their passwords (pass phrases) by themselves using OpenSSL on whichever platform it's available (eg, *nix, MacOS, Windows). George -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
