From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [de] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19-6.2.16 i686) Description of problem: When changing a password with gq, it is created as {crypt}.... while any other tool known to me uses capital letter like this {CRYPT}... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. enter/modify a userPassword attribute with gq 2. 3. Actual Results: The password looks something like {crypt}deQUTgVQoNeDM Expected Results: The password looks something like {CRYPT}deQUTgVQoNeDM Additional info: I know that this is not a bug but it was better if gq uses capital letters. All the ldap tool I know use capital letters. Tools like ldapdiff generate lots of changes if {CRYPT} changes its case. The patch below 'fixes' the 'bug': [root@dhcp-141-104 SOURCES]# cat gq-0.6.0-cryptcase.patch --- src/dt_password.c.orig Tue Jun 18 21:56:19 2002 +++ src/dt_password.c Wed Aug 28 13:59:29 2002 @@ -120,7 +120,7 @@ if(salt->str[1] == '+') salt->str[1] = '.'; salt->str[2] = 0; - strcpy(gb->data, "{crypt}"); + strcpy(gb->data, "{CRYPT}"); des_fcrypt(password, salt->str, gb->data + strlen(gb->data)); g_byte_array_set_size(gb, strlen(gb->data));
