Dear All,
I started using Python just a few days back and there was a requirement of an assigned project to change the user Password through script without user interaction. I could write the following peace of code, which uses Pexpect for the same. The mentioned Poc may certainly help others, incase they need some requirement like this.
import pexpect, sys
if len(sys.argv) != 3:
print "Usage: "+sys.argv[0]+" user new_password."
sys.exit(1)
(user, password) = (sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2])
child = pexpect.spawn(' passwd %s' %user)
child.expect('N ew password:')
child.sendline( password)
child.expect('R etype new password:')
child.sendline( password)
print child.before
child.expect(pe xpect.EOF)
Rgds,
Geo :)

I'm getting configure warnings and make errors when I try to
build Python 2.3.4 under OpenBSD 3.5. I don't see anything in the

opening the Python tar file using gtar and I tried using gmake

(I know that using BSD tar when building Zope used to cause
problems, so I first thought I might be having a similar problem.

OK, I've Googled for this and cannot seem to quite find what I need.
So, I turn to the Gentle Geniuses here for help. Here is what I
need to do from within a script:
Given a username and a password (plain text):
1) Validate that the password is correct for that user *without actually logging in*.
2) If the password is valid, return a list of all the groups the user belongs to.
Otherwise, return some error string.

It seems that the multiprocessing module in 2.6 is broken for *BSD;
I've seen issue 3770 regarding this. I'm curious if there are more
details on this issue since the posts in 3770 were a bit unclear. For
example, one post claimed that the problem was that sem_open isn't
implemented in *BSD, but it is available on FreeBSD 7 (I checked). I'd
be willing to help get this working if someone could point me in the
right direction.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...

I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
