root password restricted to 8 characters

#324 Post by Graf_Koks »

Hello,

maybe someone already reported this bug. However, I will do it again:

If one installs precise puppy 5.7.1 and decides to run it as fido when shuting off the system the first time, one has to insert a password for the user root. The field for inserting the password accepts strings of arbitrary length.

Nevertheless, I recognized afterwards, that not the whole inserted password is needed when running sudo. Instead it suffices to type in the 8 character prefix of the original password.

Changing the password using "sudo passwd root" and inserting a new one with length greater than 8 does not work, still the 8 character prefix is the new root password.

I would feel more secure if passwords can be chosen bigger in size.

Regards,
Graf Koks

root password restricted to 8 characters

#325 Post by Graf_Koks »

So what I found out is the following:

sudo passwd -a md5 root

works using the terminal. That is, now, using the terminal, only the correct password of correct size is needed.

However, the GUI-authentication, i.e. if one wants to install a package still accepts the old 8 character password. Is this a bug or feature?

So the solution is as follows: the unchanged 8 character password belongs to user fido. That is, one has to change it via passwd as described above.

However, the installation dialog during the first reboot is missleading, since, if one selects fido and not root as normal user, it asks for the root password which seems to be the password for fido.

Hi All
There is a problem with the devx sfs files for
Precise 5.5 5.6 5.7.1

When I click on the glade menu item in all of the above
versions nothing happens.

When I type glade in the terminal in all the above versions I get the following error.

Code: Select all

# glade
glade: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-3.so.0: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory.
Precise 5.5 5.6 5.7.1 comes with gtk2 installed the devx installs a glade version
that needs gtk3.

Thank you for your time in reading this post
Best Regards
John

precise 5.7.1

- I notice for rox, /root/Choices/MIME-types/ should be instead by default /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/MIME-types
- is perl used in any program in puppy ? pplog? or can be moved to devx ?
- /root/.jwmrc-tray has programs which dont exist : gexec, blinkydelayed, xtmix, asapmshell.

Precise Puppy 5.7.1

#334 Post by Sky Aisling »

Hi All,
Hope this is the correct thread to post this.
Xlock on Puppy 5.7.1 doesn't activate the password.
The machine make/model doesn't seem to matter.

Here's what I get:

Password box comes up but does not respond.

All else looks normal as far as configuration choices.

Any clues or suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you, watchdog
My bad apparently. I rebooted and all is fine now.
One letter entered as password, then 'enter' and Xlock activated.

New forum member MyPuppysaysWauWau has posted about issues with shutdownconfig: no back button.

Here is my fix to get a back button that enables everyone
- to repeat the entire process
- or cancel without shutdown.

I'll try soon. This functionality can be very interesting.
Thank you.

#340 Post by RSH »

Hi.

What I did learn from programming functions, is: usually one can have only one function per name or one name per function.

I did not learn that it would be possible to have two functions using an equal name within the same code.

So why there is function free_coord twice in /usr/local/pup_event/frontend_funcs ???

Which one is used ?

If both are used, how does this work ?

And which one is executed first ?

Any clues ?

Thanks.
