Hi all,

Im trying to change some acconts from raq3 over to another server, but I want to make it so that the the client dosent notice the change by having their email accounts setup on the new server.........

is there a way for me as admin to view the users passwords so that I can reconfig them on the new server,

Thanks, Matt

Nope. The passwrods are one-way encrypted.

The actual encrypted password is stored in /etc/shadow. If you have access to both the old and new server, you may be able to copy the password string from the old server and paste it into the new one (in /etc/shadow) but unless you know what you are doing, this just just mess everything up.

You could copy the shadow file after you have moed all accounts then chown the root directory to the correct user then you don't have to indivually have to upload each with one user. You can then also save a lot of time with technical support.

Actually.... you can see their passwords....
Theres a decryption software which can decrypt all the username and passwords. Decryption is not instant... usually takes 24 hours.

Hi,

Thanks for all the posts guys,

regarding the decryption software, can you provide more info or a url etc?

Thanks in advance, Matt
