Entry '7' in ini/conf file modified.
|
|
|
|
|
Old mode '8' is now mode '7' and mode '8'
|
|
|
|
|
is now extended by allowing empty mars_nwe passwords
|
|
|
|
|
although the linux password from this user is not empty.
|
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
|
Now mars_nwe works fine with OS/2 Client. :)
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
There is a new little kernelpatch 'kpatch1.3.72' in the
|
|
|
|
|
examples directory.
|
|
|
|
|
With this patch mars_nwe will speed up more than 30 %.

------10-Mar-96--- 0.97.pl0 ----------
|
|
|
|
|
New Conf-file entry '211' for broadcast periods.
|
|
|
|
|
Entries 400, 401 for special handling of the nearest server request.
|
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
|
Conf-file entry '6' enlarged.
|
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
|
New Entries '15' + '16' in conf-file.
|
|
|
|
|
With entry '15' you can allow mars_nwe insert all not yet known
|
|
|
|
|
users from /etc/passwd to mars_nwe bindery. But be carefully,
|
|
|
|
|
all new inserted users will get the same password from entry '15'.
|
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
|
If entry '16' is enabled ( '1' ) then mars_nwe will make some
|
|
|
|
|
checks for bindery and 'SYS:' directory.
|
|
|
|
|
For every user a MAIL/XXXXX dir will also be created.
|
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
|
Much more better bindery performance. :)

|
|
New alternative password strategy in mars_nwe:
|
|
|
|
|
There is an new entry '7' in ini/conf file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The user has now 4 ways to choose.
|
|
|
|
|
1. entry '7' = '0'.
|
|
|
|
|
maximal security by forbid unencryted password calls,
|
|
|
|
|
but till now no chance to modify passwords with client requests.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. entry '7' = '1'.
|
|
|
|
|
good security by only allow unencryted change password call.
|
|
|
|
|
Here the user can use an old SETPAS or SYSCON program which
|
|
|
|
|
make the changing of passwords with unencryted calls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. entry '7' = '8'.
|
|
|
|
|
less security by allow all unencryted password calls.
|
|
|
|
|
Like 2. but the user can also use old LOGIN program
|
|
|
|
|
with unencryted passwords. Mars_nwe will allow password
|
|
|
|
|
from the bindery and system-user-password.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. entry '7' = '9'.
|
|
|
|
|
Like 3. but in additional the routine 0x17 ufunc=0x17
|
|
|
|
|
(get crypt key) will allways fail.
|
|
|
|
|
So the LOGIN.EXE and SYSCON.EXE means that this is an old server
|
|
|
|
|
with only unencrypted passwords and will switch to the old unencryted
|
|
|
|
|
calls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With the unencryted calls the clear passwords will go through the
|
|
|
|
|
wire, so mars_nwe can compare the passwords as well with the
|
|
|
|
|
stored bindery passwords as with the system passwords (crypt).
|
|
|
|
|
But there is a little hint. Passwords will ever be uppercase sent
|
|
|
|
|
from LOGIN.EXE or SYSCON.EXE
|
|
|
|
|
Mars_nwe makes three tries.
|
|
|
|
|
First try is with bindery-password, second try is with system
|
|
|
|
|
user-password and third try is making the password downcase and
|
|
|
|
|
compare with systen-user-password again.
|
|
|
|
|
When a user changes his password, only the bindery password will
|
|
|
|
|
be changed.
