Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Why does "ps -[u|U] username" not list processes when username is numeric? Post 303039925 by crimso on Thursday 17th of October 2019 02:02:02 PM

Why does "ps -[u|U] username" not list processes when username is numeric?

Greetings,

The title pretty much says it all. I've snooped everywhere and can't find anything on this. Since our organization went to numeric usernames, using the u|U option for ps returns no processes. Example passwd entry:

Code:
320074:DjZAJKXun8HBs:10129:6006:Joe Y:/cadhome/analysis/jy:/bin/bash

The following command returns nothing other than the column names:
Code:
ps -fjHU 320074

HOWEVER, the following DOES work.
Code:
HOWEVER, ps -fjHU 101129

Honestly I expect both should work and as a caveat we are using NIS(YP). Any insight would be appreciated.

NAME
ngorca - Password recovery tool for Oracle databases SYNOPSIS
ngorca [ -f hashfile ] [ OPTIONS ] DESCRIPTION
ngorca is a multithreaded password recovery tool using exhaustive key search for Oracle versions 7-11g Rel.2. Due to the weak hashing algorithm and constantly improving hardware performance, passwords can be found in minutes, depending on their length. OPTIONS
-f hashfile To use ngorca a list of usernames and hashes is required, which has the format username:hash. The username has a maxiumum length of 64 characters and the hash is always a 16 byte hex value. If the 11g algorithm is used a 40 byte SHA1 plus 20 bytes salt must be added. The hash values are calculated one after another. Example of hash file entry with old DES hash and SHA1 hash: NETGARAGE:5D7F5FD88AE4C07F:EAC3EAC57FF0635AB298EB40CBDA1BB45DFC1B7F20464AA591C1613A2CB8 -l password length The length of the password. If this option is not set, passwords with the length of 5-8 bytes are calculated. -c charset The charset of the password. 1 for numeric, 2 for alpha, 3 for alpha numeric and 4 for alpha numeric with special characters. The default is alpha numeric. -t thread number The number of threads which should be used. It is recommended to take the number of cpu's which you want to involve in the calcula- tion for the best result. Per default one thread is used. -o logfile A logfile could be specified. It contains the passwords which are found and some info messages. The default logfile name is ngorca.log placed in the directory the binary runs in. -v verbose level Loglevel for the logfile and standard output 1-4 with 4 as the highest level which contains percent printouts. The default loglevel is 1. EXAMPLE
