Subject: Re: Record old passwords ?
Although, on an OT, forcing people to not use a password that they
have recently used is a bad idea. What they eventually do is go with
something like hometown01 hometown02, etc. Or worse, they start
writing down their passwords which is a whole other security problem.
Amen to that. At my work, they require a password change every month, but
they store the last 6 passwords you used, so I do exactly what you say -- I
have a logbook and store the same 6 passwords in it and just cycle them.
Other tricks I do, is use a pattern on the keyboard and just shift it.
None of this is secure, and I totally know it (although I'm not picking
secret or something as my PW, it's random letters/numbers/symbols). But I
hate the policy and I'm kind of a rebel like that. ;-p
Several years ago I worked at a place where users had to change their windows
password every N month and they kept a long history log of used password.
My solution to this was to write a program that asked me for my current
password and how many previous used password the system remembered. The
program worked like this:
for (n = 0; no_of_stored_password n; n++) {
set_password(random_generated_password);
do_a_short_sleep();
}
set_password(original_password);
... and the problem was solved :)

parameter being overwritten
im trying to setup mysql slave but the things is it wont start because of this errror: -- ERROR 1200 (HY000): The server is not configured as slave; fix in config file or with CHANGE MASTER TO after some testing.. i saw the server-id = 0 through show variables like 'server_id' went to check server-id parameter in /etc/my.cnf grep server-id /etc/my.cnf #server-id = 2 server-id = 2 -- its good.. ls -l ~/my.cnf -- file not found.. print_defaults mysqld result --server-id=2 -- its good but again show variables like server_id is showing 0 what i had to do is set global parameter in mysqld cli w/c is not a good thing.. additional info: Default options are read from the following files in the given order: /etc/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf /etc/my.cnf is there anyway to trace why server-id = 0?
Re: parameter being overwritten
If the server-id in your variables is not what you have in your config, then either: a) that is not the config file mysql is using or b) your build of mysql is seriously broken. If you are able toget the server configured correctly, there still will be the matter of synchronizing the data from the master and then issuing the' CHANGE MASTER TO..' statement as indicated.

Re: innodb recovery
Hi John, The data files will give you some informations like log_file_size, mutliple tablespace is being used or not. Although my.cnf can help you a lot. With the above information, use it with newer version of mysql. Krishna On Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 3:02 PM, Johny Brawo lydyh...@gmail.com wrote: Hello!
