Hi, can you tell me how to install it?
Thank you very much.

Go to dungog.net and then find and install it. Use this link (http://forums.contribs.org/search.php) for aditional help on how to install rpms.

It will be a problem in the long run and is not the way to do this as you could end up breaking the server.

munter has already broken the server. samba and VPN access will no longer work correctly if password is changed from the command line.

Last wekeend i put a 24 hours effort to install a new server and replaced the old one. everything works fine but pptp doesnt

I don't understand your bug. User passwords should only be changed via the server-manager. Doing anything else is asking for trouble.

No. Not a good thing to do, use server-manager.

As per title "Reset the root and admin password" only

this is bugzillas output, Resolving INVALID. Samba and VPN access will not work if you set passwords from
the command line. This has nothing to do with any password strength setting,
and is not a bug.

Do not set passwords from the command line.

trail and error is one way to learn.
Never going to change password streangth.

Resolved vpn issue with open vpn.

Thank you very much for sharing your time and knowlage.
hope i can pay back someday

ps how do i end this thread? Resolved

I think this went off track.

The thread is about changing a users password from the console.

My question was.. after doing this is there a way to recover.

No mention was made of root/admin.
