network password not being saved

Forum thread started by kp3ft on Wed, 2014-03-19 21:22

Is there a default password in Haiku? I can't connect to my Haiku machine with either SSHD or FTP. I changed the password in Terminal to something simple, but it seems like it isn't saving it. Every time I try to connect, it returns that it's the wrong password. Is there a way I can see the password, maybe in a config file or something? I would try the default password, but I have no idea what it is.

Hmmm, it used to be part of the Network Preferences in BeOS (as a "Services" tab), but is no longer there.

Using "passwd" from the Terminal does change a password, which may be the one used for remote logins. It updates the /boot/common/etc/passwd and /boot/commmon/etc/shadow files, look inside them for your userid too, I think it's "user", and there's a second one for "sshd".

Yup. Better docs at http://www.haiku-os.org/guides/daily-tasks/netservices
