Convert Linux flatfile auth to mysql db backend

Hello

We are about to convert our authentication from plain text
(passwd/shadow) to an mysql database to ease administration. Dows
anyone know of a script that
kan take the passwd and shadow file as input and create tables and
database for mysql ?

Tia, Rickard

d
are you using linux shadow passwords /etc/shadow ?

Importing the username and passwords to mysql should be easy.

How do you plan to authenticate against mysql ?

Hi group, Introduction: I need access to database-functionality for a project. The problem is I cannot be sure that a database exists on all places where I need to run the code. I can only expect PHP to be installed on all the intranets where the software runs. So to mimic some databasefunctionality I first thought to use plain files to

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice on how best to implement storage of access logs into a db/2 8.1.4 database running on a RH 7.2 system. I have 5 (squid) web caches running here that service the whole university. All access to external web sites must go through these caches. Each cache generates a gzip'd access log file that's about 100Mbytes every night.

A client has moved a back-end data file to a Linux machine instead of Windows. It now will only let one user log in at a time and gives some sort of "admin file not found" error. My first thought was permissions to create the LDB file but they swear this is correct. (read/write access for MDB & MDW files, read/write/create access in folder) Anyone come across a similar problem?

Hi to all. I have been spending a lot of time trying out various combinations of tools/libraries etc with a view to developing applications for Linux (KDE so preferably QT based) with a Mysql backend. So far I have looked at QTDesigner with pyuic, dabo, wxwidgets, eclipse with pydev and even OpenBase/Kexi as a way of creating a development environment of database applications on the Linux desktop addressing a 'client server' (presently MySQL)...

I have been working on this project using Ms Sql server, and been using the strongly typed datasets. Now due to major changes happening (which was never supposed to occour) the windows seerver will be kept as a silent server, so everything will be moved to a nix based server.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
