Re: Is it possible to use centralized passwords with cygwin inetd ?


Hmmm, I had thought the long ugly string (eg S-1-5-21-1677152479-820197058-
1843927889-1002) was the password.  Sounds like I made the wrong assumption.
So ... if this is the case, it sounds like it's workable.  Especially so
given that the employee roles haven't changed in nearly two years :-/

IIRC - If you do what was suggested, you should only need to rerun mkpasswd
when users are added or removed, not when they change their password.

Not wonderful, but distinctly better that what you imagine.

If you look inside a mkpasswd-generated passwd file, you will see that there
is no password info stored there.
