that is the hashed password. You can change it by generating a hash of your new password... you would probably use crypt(3) to do that... The original password was never stored in cleartext form. You could store a cleartext password if you really wanted to, but that is less than secure. On Thu, Sep 1, 2011 at 8:57 AM, sundoo <sandu_nastas@yahoo.com> wrote:

Hello, I'm new to FreeRadius and to linux. Maybe this question will sound stupid, but I really need you help. I have a server running freeradius. These are some outputs of the configuration:

*etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf* # passwd = /etc/passwd  shadow = /etc/shadow # group = /etc/group

*/etc/freeradius/users* test1 Auth-Type := Crypt-Local, User-Password := "$1$NzW2iwkn$ygDcJgb4WhAEqQYfySFkj/"        Service-Type = Administrative-User,        Cajun-Service-Type := 3,

*/etc/shadow* test1:$1$cnEh49V6$Q.68mw.3P5rgmsfhbo/iC1:15217:0:99999:7:::

I would like to change the password for the user test1. But in the users file I see only the encrypted password. Where is the original password stored ?

How do I change it ?

Thanks a lot for your help.
