fs_passwd

-You may use fs_passwd/fs_passwd as a "passwd", "chfn" and "chsh" replacement on your shell machine(s) to cause password, gecos and shell changes to update your freeside machine. This can pose a security risk if not configured correctly. Do not use this feature unless you understand what you are doing! +You may use fs_passwd/fs_passwd as a "passwd", "chfn" and "chsh" replacement on your shell machine(s) to cause password, gecos and shell changes to update your freeside machine. You can also use the fs_passwd/fs_passwd.html and fs_passwd/fs_passwd.cgi to run a public password change CGI on a public web server. This can pose a security risk if not configured correctly. Do not use this feature unless you understand what you are doing!

Currently it is assumed that the the crypt(3) function in the C library is the same on the Freeside machine as on the target machine.

Create a freeside account on the shell machine(s). -
Append the identity.pub from the freeside user on your freeside machine to the authorized_keys file of the newly created freeside user on the shell machine(s). +
Create a freeside account on the shell or web machine(s). +
Setup SSH keys: +
- As the freeside user (on your freeside machine), generate an authentication key using ssh-keygen. Since this is for unattended operation, use a blank passphrase. +
- Append the newly-created identity.pub file to ~freeside +/.ssh/authorized_keys on the shell or web machine(s). +
- Some new SSH v2 implementation accept v2 style keys only. Use the -t option to ssh-keygen, and append the created id_dsa.pub or id_rsa.pub to ~freeside/.ssh/authorized_keys2 on the remote machine(s). +
+
Copy fs_passwd/fs_passwdd to /usr/local/sbin on the shell or web machine(s). (chown freeside, chmod 500) +
Create /usr/local/freeside on the shell or web machine(s). (chown freeside, chmod 700) +
Run an iteration of "fs_passwd/fs_passwd_server user shell.machine" as the freeside user for each shell or web machine (this is a daemon process). user refers to a freeside user added by freeside-adduser.
Copy fs_passwd/fs_passwd to /usr/local/bin on the shell machine(s). (chown freeside, chmod 4755). You may link it to passwd, chfn and chsh as well. -
Copy fs_passwd/fs_passwdd to /usr/local/sbin on the shell machine(s). (chown freeside, chmod 500) -
Create /usr/local/freeside on the shell machine(s). (chown freeside, chmod 700) -
Run an iteration of "fs_passwd/fs_passwd_server user shell.machine" as the freeside user for each shell machine (this is a daemon process). user refers to the freeside user from the mapsecrets configuration file. +
Copy fs_passwd/fs_passwd.cgi to the cgi-bin directory on your web machine(s). Use suEXEC or suidperl to run fs_passwd.cgi as the freeside user.
