7/13    Why would Yahoo store passwords unencrypted?  I recall that even 20+
        years ago the passwords stored in /etc/passwd on instructional
        machines here at Cal were one-way encrypted.  (I think those were
        Ultrix machines.)

        don't have to keep typing passwords inbetween logging into machines.
        What's an ideal size for the number of bits in dsa? 1024 is default,
        but would 2048 enhance it even more? What do you guys use?
        \_ I'm paranoid.  I use 4096.  Go for at least 2048, I'd say...

10/13   Can anyone recommend a decent open source software package to track
        passwords in a global network (Windows+UNIX systems) ... I'm sick and
        tired of waiting days for IT to track down the one person with root
        on some server somewhere.

11/17   I need a wiki package that uses sqlite, and lets me
        give out username/passwords to limit editing and viewing access

5/31    PHP-related question:  a web app I'm using recently moved from
        CRYPT_STD_DES to CRYPT_MD5 for password hashing.  On the off chance
        anyone's faced a similar problem (I am having trouble getting a
        reply from the developers), am I missing something fundamental or
        am I just fucked if I want to migrate my existing userbase without
        having to reset their passwords?  -John

1/18    Are the accounts on soda reactivated?  Looks like ssh is up, but I
        don't know if it's me not remembering the password I set it to
        after the last reactivation or if accounts aren't activated.
        \_ So you just typed your password (maybe several of them) into a box that might or

7/12    Kchang -- thanks for turning the search feature back on!
        \_ you're welcome. I spent some time making sure that even if the
           mysql passwords are stolen, it would only have read only access.
           It would have been easier with suexec, but I guess the current
           admins insist that CGIs run as "nobody", which is a security risk
           that I guess they just don't care about anymore.     -kchang
