I think you need to help yourself first. Understand your old server: where does it store the encrypted passwords? Read them out. Understand your new server: which authentication mechanism have you chosen to use? Where does it store its passwords? Then you import the passwords. You say you're using authmysql on the new server. Then the encrypted passwords go in whichever column you decided to use for encrypted passwords in authmysqlrc: MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD crypt Brian. > > sir_ddd > > > > > > >From: Brian Candler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >To: David Diaz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Subject: Re: [sqwebmail] sqwebmail pass > >Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2004 22:37:06 +0100 > > > >On Wed, Apr 07, 2004 at 04:12:58PM -0500, David Diaz wrote: > >> I had qmail, vpopmail 4.9 and sqwebmail 1.0 on linux 6.1, I just had the > >> pass file for each user on sqwebmail pass file, obviously encripted, and > >I > >> need migrate this server to other (with new qmail, vpopmail and > >sqwebmail > >> versions), my question is how can I get the password in clear format?, > > > >If the password is encrypted, you can't get it in clear format (without > >attempting a dictionary attack on each one using a tool like 'crack') > > > >> because in this server there no one vpassword file or cbd file, this > >server > >> is on line with 2,000 accounts and I really don't want change the > >password > >> for each accounts in case of migration... > > > >You can just import the encrypted passwords, and sqwebmail will still be > >able to use them to authenticate. > > > >> regards, > >> > >> sir_ddd > >> > >> _________________________________________________________________ > >> Charla con tus amigos en l?nea mediante MSN Messenger: > >> http://messenger.microsoft.com/es > >> > > _________________________________________________________________ > MSN Fotos: la forma m?s f?cil de compartir e imprimir fotos. > http://photos.msn.es/support/worldwide.aspx >
