lppasswd(1) Easy Software Products lppasswd(1)NAME
lppasswd - add, change, or delete digest passwords.
SYNOPSIS
lppasswd [ -a ] [ -g groupname ] [ -x ] [ username ]
DESCRIPTION
lppasswd adds, changes, or deletes passwords in the CUPS digest password file, passwd.md5. When run by a normal user, lppasswd will prompt
for the old and new passwords. When run by the super-user, lppasswd can add new accounts (-a username), change existing accounts (user-
name), or delete accounts (-x username) in the digest password file. Digest usernames do not have to match local UNIX usernames, but only
UNIX usernames are supported by the CUPS client programs (lp(1), lpr(1), etc.)
The -g option specifies a group other than the system group - "sys", "system", or "root", depending on the operating system.
SECURITY ISSUES
The lppasswd command is installed setuid to root. While every attempt has been made to make it secure against exploits that could grant
super-user priviledges to unpriviledged users, paranoid system administrators may wish to disable or change the ownership of the program to
an unpriviledged account.

disable, enable - stop/start printers and classes
SYNOPSIS
disable [ -E ] [ -c ] [ -h server ] [ -r reason ] destination(s)
enable [ -E ] destination(s)
DESCRIPTION
enable starts the named printers or classes.
disable stops the named printers or classes. The following options may be used:
-c
Cancels all jobs on the named destination.
-r [ reason ]
Sets the message associated with the stopped state. If no reason is specified then the message is set to "Reason Unknown".
The -E option forces encryption when connecting to the server.
COMPATIBILITY
The CUPS versions of disable and enable may ask the user for an access password depending on the printing system configuration. This dif-
fers from the System V versions which require the root user to execute these commands.

Hi,
I have usernames and passwords (to connect oracle DB) buried in so many shell scripts.
We want to externalize all usernames and passwords from those shell scripts and encrypt them and keep them in a file.
So far I found two choices,
1) Use some encryption algorithms like (RC5/MD5) to... (5 Replies)

We are real strict when it comes to passwords. Every 60 days the admins have to change passwords on all of the accounts. And there is pretty strict enforcement of the type of passwords chosen. This is a tedious and monotonous job. Ww don't use NIS or LDAP, so this has to be done on each machine. ... (5 Replies)

I've been using various versions of UNIX and Linux since 1993, and I've never run across one that showed your password as you type it in when you log in, or one that stored passwords in plain text rather than encrypted. I'm writing a script for work for a security audit, and two of the... (5 Replies)

I saw this posted a few days ago by corona688. I've been on the forums a few months. It's really great. But at least some of the posters do seem to use it as a free scriptwriting service. That seems maybe a wrong use of the forum. Also, I would suggest when the poster is just given the answer,... (9 Replies)
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:
