Hi Mark Yes, it's for Openldap. Unfortunately, slappasswd is not installed on any of our Red Hat boxes (60 of them). It's only installed on the one OpenLdap box. I wanted them to be able to log into any of the boxes, run the create new password commands, and then copy the encrypted output and send to the administrator so he can change their passwords on Openldap without knowing what their password actually is. Is there a way that you know of that they can copy and past in their own encrypted password, bypassing having to send them to the administrator to do it? Thanks for the help.

I was actually going to ask what you need the encrypted passwords *for*? For example, when I add users (it's a development team) to openldap (*gah!*), I just run slappasswd, let them do the password, and have them cut and paste it so I don't see nothin'.... mark -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
