The default password format on FreeBSD is to use MD5-based passwords. These are believed to be more secure than the traditional UNIX password format, which used a scheme based on the DES algorithm. DES passwords are still available if you need to share your password file with legacy operating systems which still use the less secure password format (they are available if you choose to install the ''crypto'' distribution in sysinstall, or by installing the crypto sources if building from source).

In cryptography, MD5 (Message-Digest algorithm 5) is a widely used cryptographic hash function with a 128-bit hash value. As an Internet standard (RFC 1321), MD5 has been employed in a wide variety of security applications, and is also commonly used to check the integrity of files. An MD5 hash is typically a 32-character hexadecimal number.

Some of the servers in the network are reserved for certain regions (some EU servers are scandinavian only for example). Also we were told that some of the servers in the network are known to be unable to connect to for some users (there will be absolutely nothing in your console, even if you had it open while trying to connect), this is not a Colloquy issue. This concerns servers with "ix" in their name, also some european servers and maybe others, too.

New in v2.1. DenyHosts now allows you to create a file, restricted-usernames in the DenyHosts WORK_DIR. The contents of this optional file should contain one username per line. Each username listed is considered to be a restricted account or simply, any username that satisfies these scenarios: Any username listed in the restricted-usernames file will be subject to the DENY_THRESHOLD_RESTRICTED configuration setting (by default this will be set to DENY_THRESHOLD_ROOT).

MD5 files contain checksums, strings of characters used to uniquely represent a file. These checksums enable users to verify that music files downloaded correctly. A recommended tool for creating these files is MD5summer. Please note that before uploading the MD5 created with this tool you should open the MD5 in a text editor and remove the top 3 lines so the first signature is now flush with the top of the file.

Crack 4.x used to have this really neat feature where it would store passwords that it had not managed to guess, and it would not bother to attack them again next time. Why doesn't 5.

Yes, users can specify which databases they want to search. When a user selects a subject category (or categories) to search, the system auto-selects the databases that apply to those subject categories. A list of those databases will display on the screen, and the user may deselect any databases they wish to exclude from the search. The user may also manually select all databases they wish to search.

Logical Net provides a new temporary password when the user account is activated. The user is requested to change this temporary password after first log in.

No. If the user does not remember his/her password, delete the user and define the same user again. The new password will be the same as the user id and the new user will be able to change his/her password at any time.

There are no default passwords. All accounts are locked by default. Even local logins are not possible (unless you set a password or create new user accounts as root). You can create valid passwords using "sudo passwd [username]" from the shell, individually.

Postini integrates with an email provider's existing authentication, so that the password remains the same as the user's existing email account; alternatively, an email provider may supply a new, temporary, password that can be changed after a user's first log in to the Message Center. In some cases, Postini provides a new temporary password when the user account is activated. The user is requested to change this temporary password after first log in.

Domain administrators can enforce security policy by forcing users to change their passwords regularly. To expire all of your users' passwords immediately and/or on a recurring schedule do the following. Log into the Control Center, and then navigate to the following. This action cannot be undone so be careful! When possible, users will be notified via email five (5) days before their passwords expire. For security purposes, the notice does not contain a link (URL) to the WebMail login.

Use unusual passwords. Never use familiar names such as the names of your children or the name of your company as passwords. Your initial password will be a randomly generated, 6-character password. You must change this initial password the first time you log on to the system. Must be between 6 and 16 characters in length and must be different from the previous 4 passwords you have used for this system. Be equal to patterns consisting of 6 keys in a row on the keyboard (i.e. qwerty, asdfgh, etc.

FireWall-1 supports PPP, SLIP and X.25, but these interfaces must be installed before FireWall-1 starts. Starting with FireWall-1 Version 3.0, The FireWall-1 Security Servers support the SecureNet Keys (SNK) authentication scheme. For further information, see

Fill out the username/password information or form, then hit the Save button on your BizForm Bar toolbar (see below). When you return to a form or password page you can simply hit the Fill button, or you can set pages to Auto Fill such that when you return to a saved page, the form or password data will be automatically entered into the form or password.

There is an Extras Menu option available from the Setup >> System >> Users window. You may select this option from the menu bar and change the dates recorded as the last password changed dates to 01-Jan-1980. This then forces the passwords to become expired and the users will be forced to change their password on next login. Note that you must enable at least 1 grace login to allow them to change their password after it has expired.

To prevent users from selecting obvious passwords on OpenVMS, you will want to use the reserved password (password screening) mechanism. Effectively, you merge your list of reserved passwords into the existing reserved words database maintained by OpenVMS. (You can also then require all users to reset their passwords---via the pre-expired password mechanism---thus forcing users to select new passwords.

After generation I get: "Source file ... _InsertInputDataSet_BaseXsd.cs' could not be opened ('The system cannot find the file specified. ')"

In order to be able to delete a note from an action, a user should be assigned the ???Actions_Admin??? permission or the relevant complex version of it.

Current users will maintain existing user IDs and passwords, but will receive a new user ID and password for ESS and E-Recruiting.
