Subject: installation-guide: Appendix B: mkpasswd call wrong Package: installation-guide Version: 20081208 Severity: normal
Hi, the mkpasswd example call in the examples for passwd/root-password-crypted says echo "r00tme" | mkpasswd -s -m md5 but that didn't work for me. (I can't log in with r00tme - OF course the password is something else here :) ) What is working is the following: echo -n "r00tme" | mkpasswd -s -m md5 because echo then omits the \n which would end up into the hash otherwise... -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Grüße/Regards, René -- .''`.
