Building off some code that Greg wrote I made some changes to make sure that even the crypted password didn't show up any logs. http://skvidal.fedorapeople.org/misc/func-change-password.py This code takes a username, prompts for a password (and confirmation) then crypts the password using sha512 hash and an os.urandom() salt. Stuffs the password in a file prefixed by the username and sends the whole thing over to all of your hosts. Then uses chpasswd to set those changes. this came up as a firedrill I had to undertake to change root passwords globally and quickly. I liked what Greg had done but I didn't like the idea of even the crypted logs having the password - so this is the work around. complaints welcome. -sv _______________________________________________ Func-list mailing list Func-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/func-list
