Please share your valuable experience. I have operated thousands of linux and w2k servers in the datacenter. So if I will change the admin(root) password, actually it is impossible.. (because there are so many servers..)
Actually, no, it isn't.
Mainly I use ssh at linux and terminal server at windows server to remote login. So is there any good method or solution to solve this problem?
On Linux: for server in SERVER_LIST; do ssh root@$server \ "ssh -i -e 's/\(root\):[^:]:\(.*\)$/\1:PASSWORD_HASH:\2/' /etc/shadow" done On Windows: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897543.aspx Regards Ansgar Wiechers -- "All vulnerabilities deserve a public fear period prior to patches becoming available." --Jason Coombs on Bugtraq
