Hi, thanks that helped. I entered the hash using vipw and now I can login via ssh. Is there any way to get rid of this passwd bug? Editing the passwd.conf did not help. Alex Am 14.10.2009 um 17:45 schrieb John Klos:
Hi,I have a DLink PCMCIA ethernet card, but while installing and configuring sshd I stumbled on another "feature" of NetBSD 4.0.1, the "can not change password" thing (Message is something like "Couldn't generate saltUnable to change auth token: error in service module").Now I have to edit something in /etc/passwd.conf and hope that I can change my password and get access to the amiga via ssh from my Mac. At least ping works...You can use any other NetBSD machine to make a password hash to use temporarily. Here's one:hl4admxMXNMUMThe password for this hash is 1234. Not very secure, but useful for something quick like this. If you're having a problem creating a spwd.db, you can do the same on another NetBSD machine, or I can generate one for you with a temp account and a simple password.John
