Thank you. Regards -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list That just depends where you get the login from, do you login via PAM or just with the common unix users. If its just for the normal users then passwd username should be enough to set the password (as root that is) -- Rick van Hattem Rick.van.Hattem(at)Fawo.nl -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

-Original Message- I have forgotten the password of one of the pureftpd accounts. With pure-pw I only can see the encripted password. Is there any way to see the clear password? The reason you can't see the clear password is because it would be a security issue. If someone hacked into your box you certainly wouldn't want them to be able to view all of the passwords for the ftp server. Obviously if you have the permissions you can change the password. If you don't have the permission (i.e. you're not root on the box), you'll have to contact someone who does. Dave -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
