Passwd encryptions

From: "Amit D Karia" To: linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in Date: 29 Dec 2004 12:19:08 -0000 Subject: [ILUG-BOM] Passwd encryptions Hi would like to know abt this command of red hat linux grub-md5-crypt its easy to encrypt the passwd from this command but how to store the encrypted password ,,, And again is it possible to decrypt the passwd And also do let me know abt 'idecrypt'command is it possible to decrypt the passwd from the password Also tell me few others algorithams or commands of any flavor that would encrypt the normal text ,,, regs.. Hi, MD5 is not a enryption standard it just provides a "fingerprint" or message digest of a message of arbitrary length. The difficulty of coming up with any message having a given message digest is on the order of 2^128 operations,So basically its a one way encryption but it has a known collision weakness. idecrypt is used to decrypt encrypted responses from a pidentd server with DES encryption. grub-md5-crypt is just used to get the fingerprint of the user pass to protect grub modification there are lots of encryption standards like blowfish ,md4,md5 ,SHA1 ,SHA2 ,DES and Triple DES, Serpent , twofish and famous CRC !! Hope this clarify. King --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Meet the all-new My Yahoo! � Try it today!

CUPS / Dell 720 / SAMBA / Adobe Printing Qs
by Shahed 28 Dec '04

28 Dec '04

Hi All, I have been trying from the last 2 days to configure my Dell 720 (Lexmark 615) printer to work with Linux + Windows (SMB) I am using SuSE 9.2, with CUPS. I have finally managed to get it to work perfectly on Linux, and on Windows using the Adobe Generic Postscript Printer. On Linux, I have it setup the printer through CUPS, with the appropriate Lexmark driver. (Color works fine) On Windows, I could only set it up, with the Adobe driver. The problem is that there is no Color. I have the Windows Driver for the printer, but it does not seem to work with CUPS. Any ideas on how I can get color working, or better, if I can get the native Windows Driver to work ? Also, on the cups site, the windows driver is not available for download (??) Thanks. Shahed

A Query !!
by Rony Bill 28 Dec '04

28 Dec '04

Dear Friends, Has anyone from the group actually used the Epson LX-300 dot matrix printer on Linux, with good print quality in Open Office, Evoluion and other software? If so which is that Linux version? After finally managing to get a printout in Open Office, I am again stuck in Evolution. It does not print. It not only throws out the paper but the empty roller keeps rolling for some time and I am scared it may cause overload to the motors or control circuit. Both these programs are too good but its a pity they can't print decently. I even downloaded OO 1.1.3 from the net but it still does not improve print quality, which is terrible. LX 300 is a very common SOHO printer. Regards, Rony.
