Hi
I have created a user in snmpv3 as myuser n gave a password.
Its also feching data by snmpget.
Then I created another user as arika and the password is same as myuser..
Now I am trying to change the password by the command :
But its giving me the error : "no encryption type specified, which I need in order to know to change the key".
What should I do? Do I need to change my snmpd.conf file?
Plz guide..
Thanx

My dilemma,
I need to send, deemed confidential, information via e-mail (SMTP). This information is sitting as a file on AIX. Typically I can send this data as a e-mail attachment via what we term a "mail filter" using telnet. I now would like to somehow encrypt the data and send it to a e-mail... (1 Reply)

Hey All,
I need to implement AIDE on my client machines. The builds on these machine are different, so each workstation will have its own specific db generated through running AIDE initially. It is not good practice to just leave the db on the machine, since an "attacker" would be able to view... (0 Replies)

Hi all,
I'm looking for secure file encryption tools that use MAC address as encryption key. FYI, I'm using Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS.
For example: when A wants to send file to B
A will encrypt the file with B's computer MAC/IP address as an encryption key
This file can only be decrypted... (2 Replies)

dispcrypt
dispcrypt(3) Library Functions Manual dispcrypt(3)NAME
dispcrypt - encrypt a password, dispatching based on the associated algorithm (Enhanced Security)
LIBRARY
Security Library (libsecurity.so)
In order to quickstart a program, the program must be linked as follows:
-lsecurity -ldb -laud -lm
See the shared library discussion in the Programmer's Guide for more information about using the quickstarting feature.
SYNOPSIS
#include <prot.h>
char *discprypt(
const char *plaintext,
const char *salt,
int algorithm_index);
PARAMETERS
plaintext The unencrypted password to be encrypted.
salt A string value which may be used as input to the selected encryption algorithm. This parameter should be at least two charac-
ters in length, and null-terminated. For password validation, it should be the encrypted password which is already in use.
algorithm_index
A value from 0 to (get_num_crypts()-1), indicating which encryption algorithm is to be used. For password validation, use the
fd_oldcrypt field of an es_passwd structure. For password generation, use the fd_newcrypt field (and update the fd_oldcrypt
field at the same time as the fd_encrypt field if the change is successful).
DESCRIPTION
The dispcrypt() function applies the specified encryption algorithm to the given password string and salt value, and returns the encrypted
form of the password. The return value is static data which is overwritten on subsequent calls to this function or to the encryption algo-
rithms which it calls, so callers should save a copy of the string unless the only use is an immediate comparison during password valida-
tion.
RETURN VALUES
This routine returns NULL if there is an encryption failure. Otherwise, it returns a pointer to static data, which is the null-terminated
encrypted password result.
