OSR5 FAQ
How do I convert Visionfs to encrypted passwords?
Old versions of Visionfs could not handle encrypted passwords. Current versions can, and you should use this feature.
If you have clients using plain text passwords you do not have to change those- the server will accept both plain text and encrypted passwords.
First run the visionfs setup program:
/usr/vision/bin/visionfs setup
Switch to Visionfs (encrypted) passwords (or pass the whole problem off to an NT server).
That will offer to run the password wizard. If it doesn't, or if you want to run it again, do:
/usr/vision/bin/visionfs password --wizard
Here you can choose some automatic passwords. For example, you can start by making the passwords the same as the login name- so "sam" gets "sam" as a password.
The wizard lets you edit a file of names and passwords before it finishes. You also can change passwords at any time; to change Sam's password to "8y5fg" you can:
/usr/vision/bin/visionfs password --amend sam 9y5fg
Windows 2000 and XP have a feature called "digital signing":
Technet Article on SMB Digital Signing
So does 2003: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555652
(Microsoft moves stuff around a lot - if those links don't
work, just search "Digital Signing" on their site)
which is apparently
turned on if the server is functioning as a domain controller.
Samba and other non-Microsoft SMB products don't support this yet
though Samba does have it in the 3.0.0 beta: http://us1.samba.org/samba/whatsnew/samba-3.0.0beta3.html.
