Description Gabriel Sfestarof 2011-01-26 17:22:53 UTC
Description of problem:

Blanking a user's password apparently succeeds


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

chntpw-0.99.6-13.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:
Either copy SAM file to a non-ntfs partition or try editing a mounted ntfs (To clear out any FAQ recommendations on site)

Steps to Reproduce:
1.chntpw -u <user> SAM
2.Try unlocking the account >> this actually still works
3.Try blanking the user's password. This seems to work also, yet upon reboot the account is still password protected.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:

Also, the url has changed to 

http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/

This sounds like an upstream bug, not a packaging bug. Have you reported it upstream?

Ok, I'll fix this when I get home.

Just kidding, the URL has already been updated to this in rawhide. Closing unless you want to file a bug upstream.
