Today I upgrade my server to ubuntu 10 lucid, The first thing that occur to me is the new encrypted method, it's the default line
root:$6$ih6NzSZL$NuK0cjnATfIS3ets.MWM3iN3/U.sPh..USCbZ/kyOATm0hpiuZkbWhgaenNKIf23d9HTE/fKnLo0PDV1UCefu0:15333:0:99999:7:::
since it starts with $6$, I figured out it's sha-512 method, so I tried to use mkpasswd tool
mkpasswd -m sha-512 123456
so I add a new line to the shadow file
yozloy:$6$4KhKoABHknIc$KY3DBvrkLPSXBnS/NZjdxrdw2EY02fDQcclf8/B3P7ymSeCBsKWyRC.zgRcklTWwmNLplWLgcAKenFzrvq6ub0:15318:0:9999:7:::
but it doesn't work! probably dues to the salt, I don't know what it is, so I didn't specify.
adduser
and set a password usingpasswd
?
