Re: Web based password changer

 Dear List,
 
 I'm looking for a decent, secure, web based password changer for
 user accounts.  Something that I can install on a debian box with a
 minimum amount of tweaking, and that isn't really any less secure than
 a shell user changing their password locally over ssh.  Is there
 anything out there that someone has had good experiences with?

 PS - how do you fit down the chimney?  and please don't leave coal in
 my stocking this year.
 

Horde(1) has a password module. Works on ldap and unix accounts.

 I know about SSL/TLS support in Proftp, the only problem is that few
 clients
 support it (thanks fot the link to the Woody backport). I would use it if I
 could find clients that are supported by multiple OSes. Are there any
 SSL/TLS
 clients for Windows, OS X or Mac 9x? 
   Proftpd does support SSL/TLS.  It's a module that comes with it, it's
   just not enabled by default.  Some nice docs here:
   http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/modules/mod_tls.html
  
 http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/contrib/ProFTPD-mini-HOWTO-TLS.html
   Actually... it's enabled by default, that's why it says 'no certificate
  found' when you start it the first time.
   Neither sftp nor anything else is a 'drop-in' replacement for ftp.
  
   The only problem with TLS/SSL in ftp is that there are not that many
  clients that support that - there are NONE in woody. You need to backport
  lftp from sid or compile it yourself ( I've got my backport available
 from
  http://eyck.forumakad.pl/woody ./ ) 
 
   There are few other options - tlswrap changes every passive-capable ftp
  client into TLS-capable ftp client, there is this nice POSIX/Windoze
  lundfxp client etc..
  
   The way I see it, sftp is way less secure way of providing access to
 files
  then tls/ftp, you see, you need to create valid ssh-able accounts for all
  your users, then it'll take you some time to secure those accounts just a
  bit ( scp-only acount? - great, if you wanna play around and compile
  special shell... there is no scp-shell in woody, there is one in sid.
  Is it safe enough? Who knows ).
   With ftp users need no shell, need no nothing. I create unlimited number
  of users and worry not

From man lftp(1) :

   lftp can handle six file access methods - ftp, ftps, http,
   https, hftp, fish and file (https and ftps are only availĀ­
   able when lftp is compiled with openssl library).

apt-cache show ftp :

Description: Sophisticated command-line FTP/HTTP client programs
 Lftp is a file retrieving tool that supports FTP and HTTP protocols under
 both IPv4 and IPv6. Lftp has an amazing set of features, while preserving
 its interface as simple and easy as possible.

Seems like it should work with ftps, but the description doesn't mention it...
Anybody know about this. I don't know any ftps-servers, so I can't test if it
works...

 HI,

 I'm looking for any craft to secure YP:

 I'm working around shadow password  and yp.

 shadow passwords are stupid if ypcat passwd give the encripted passwords !
 Well, I use (in /etc/ypserv):
   *  : passwd.byname: port   : yes
   *  : passwd.byuid : port   : yes

 passwd are mangled , but the ftp server, on a YP-client machine, do not
 recognize any user.

 Any solution ?



If You are using ProFTPd, then using : PersistentPasswdoff in
your /etc/proftpd.conf would do the trick
