Login in console denying the username?

Hi there,
some minutes ago i tried to login on one of my virtual consoles and did a small typo on the username. The reaction was quite surprising, maybe you get it when looking at the output:
Arch Linux (Core Dump) 2.6.23-kamikaze (flusenfalle)
flusenfalle login: roto
Login incorrect
flusenfalle login: jana
Login incorrect
flusenfalle login: jan
Password:
Last Login: bla bla...
[jan@flusenfalle ~]$ _
I never seen this before... Isnt the login supposed to take every username at first (even if it doesnt exist) and print out the "Password:" anyway before finally denying the login when i entered a password for the non-existant user?
At least i know it worked this way since years... And this seems to be the default in Arch, as i never changed anything regarding this...
I consider this as a security issue, because with a little knowledge about myself it would be easier for a local attacker to compromise my system, because its easy to find out which users exist on my machine... (and thats a start, sure there a passords, but its a start...)
So, how can i change this to the ol' trusty behaviour i am used to?

Ok, i am now posting a bug... Just wanted to check out at first if i am maybe the only one experiencing this.
dolby wrote:maybe this is related in any way to the kernel u use? have u tried the ARCH kernel?
sorry but with the posts ive seen regarding this particular kernel i dont trust it at all
I like the kamikaze kernel, it works fast and reliable for me... But i am using my own PKGBUILDs for it, and also dont use the latest version. If its stable and has no problems, i keep it...

    I could do that, however when I select the icloud button (or whatever the heck it is) I am asked to enter the apple id and password. So if you are suppose to create another one for icloud you'd think it would give you the option at this point which would be logical.

    How to get to see the usernames and passwords for wifi logins on iPad. 

    You can't access that on an iPad. The iPad does not have a Keychain Access type app like the Mac has. Maybe an application like iExplorer on your Mac will let you see them, but you can't see them on the iPad itself.

  • Login Hook stops working once I've changed the username

    Hello. I need to change the usernames for a number of local accounts on a 10.5.8 mac. The accounts were set up by someone else who is no longer working at this education insitution and hasn't left any documentation. Currently when each user logs on, a script runs that does the following
    #!/usr/bin/env bash
    # iMac logon script
    # get our user
    theUser=$1
    # get the users home directory
    #theUsersHome=$HOME
    # Copy the dock plist file for the user
    cp /Library/Scripts/GHS/Docks/${theUser}/com.apple.dock.plist /Users/${theUser}/Library/Preferences
    # Create a ScreenCaptures folder on the desktop, give it permissions and redirect the screen captures
    # Unlock the Desktop folder first in case it is locked
    sudo chflags nouchg /Users/${theUser}/Desktop
    mkdir /Users/${theUser}/Desktop/ScreenCaptures
    sudo chown ${theUser}:staff /Users/${theUser}/Desktop/ScreenCaptures
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/${theUser}/Desktop/ScreenCaptures
    # Create a VideoWork folder on the Desktop and give it permissions
    # Unlock the Desktop folder first in case it is locked
    sudo chflags nouchg /Users/${theUser}/Desktop
    # Remove the old Video Work folder in case it exists
    rmdir /Users/${theUser}/Desktop/Video\ Work
    mkdir /Users/${theUser}/Desktop/VideoWork
    sudo chown ${theUser}:staff /Users/${theUser}/Desktop/VideoWork
    # Lock the Desktop, Documents, Movies, Music and Pictures folders
    sudo chflags uchg /Users/${theUser}/Desktop
    sudo chflags uchg /Users/${theUser}/Documents
    sudo chflags uchg /Users/${theUser}/Movies
    sudo chflags uchg /Users/${theUser}/Music
    sudo chflags uchg /Users/${theUser}/Pictures
    However, once I change the users account name, the script doesn't seem to run correctly as the screen captures fail due to not having write permission in the intended destination.
    I rename the UserName the ShortName, the HomeDirectory and the folder here /Library/Scripts/GHS/Docks/UserName

  • How to catch exception while validating the username and password in hbm

    Hi,
    I do want to set the username and password dynamically in hibernate.cfg.xml
    Here below is my configuration file.
    {code<hibernate-configuration> 
    <session-factory> 
           <property name="hibernate.bytecode.use_reflection_optimizer">false</property> 
           <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</property> 
           <property name="hibernate.connection.pool_size">10</property> 
           <property name="show_sql">true</property> 
           <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect</property> 
           <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</property> 
           <property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property> 
           <property name="show_sql">true</property> 
         </session-factory> 
    </hibernate-configuration>{code}
    Also im getting that session factory object like the below code.
    public class Sessions {        private static SessionFactory sessionFactory;      private static Configuration configuration = new Configuration();        static {          try {              String userName = GuigenserviceImpl.userName;              String password = GuigenserviceImpl.password;              String hostName = GuigenserviceImpl.hostName;              String portNo = GuigenserviceImpl.portNo;              String sId = GuigenserviceImpl.sId;                  configuration                      .setProperty("hibernate.connection.username", userName);              configuration                      .setProperty("hibernate.connection.password", password);              configuration.setProperty("hibernate.connection.url",                      "jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + hostName + ":" + portNo + ":" + sId);                try {              configuration.configure("/hibernate.cfg.xml");              sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory();              GuigenserviceImpl.strAccpted = "true";              }              catch (Exception e) {                    e.printStackTrace();                  GuigenserviceImpl.strAccpted = "false";              }            }          catch (HibernateException hibernateException) {              GuigenserviceImpl.strAccpted = "false";              hibernateException.printStackTrace();          }          catch (Throwable ex) {                GuigenserviceImpl.strAccpted = "false";              ex.printStackTrace();              throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);          }      }          public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {          return sessionFactory;      } 
    So, in this above scenario, suppose if im giving the wrong password means exception should be caught and the string variable "GuigenserviceImpl.strAccpted" should be assigned to false.
    But im getting the SQL Exception only in console like wrong username and password. And finally i couldn't able to catch the exception in Sessions class, static block.
    Anyone can help me in catching that SQL Exception in my Sessions class and i need to handle that SQL Exception in my class.

    Hi,
    Myself hardcoded that username and password checking like the below code.
    String name = loginData.get("userName").toString();
              String pswd = loginData.get("pswd").toString();
              String hstName = loginData.get("hName").toString();
              String prtNo = loginData.get("portNo").toString();
              String sid = loginData.get("sId").toString();
              SessionFactory sessionFactory = null;
              try {
                   if (name.trim().equals(userName) && pswd.trim().equals(password)
                             && hstName.trim().equals(hostName)
                             && prtNo.trim().equals(portNo) && sid.trim().equals(sId)) {
                        sessionFactory = Sessions.getSessionFactory();
                        strAccpted = "true";
                   } else {
                        strAccpted = "false";
              } catch (Exception e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
                   strAccpted = "false";
              }I have my own values in string objects, then comparing that values with the values from login form. If both values are matching, then i will do configurations in hibernate.
    ResourceBundle resourceBundle = ResourceBundle
                   .getBundle("com.beyon.ezygui.server.Queries");
         public static final String connection_url = resourceBundle
                   .getString("connection.url");
         public static final String userName = resourceBundle.getString("userName");
         public static final String password = resourceBundle.getString("password");
         public static final String hostName = resourceBundle.getString("hostName");
         public static final String portNo = resourceBundle.getString("portNo");
         public static final String sId = resourceBundle.getString("sId");The above are the String objects i'm checking for the match with values from login form.

  • What are the username and password when i click the ICM of JavaEE5@SAP

    when i click the ICM of JavaEE5@SAP in the sapmanagement console mmc, It need i input the username and password for Web_admin, What are the username and password when i click the ICM of JavaEE5@SAP and which tools act the role as the VisualAdministrator of NetWeaver04s and NetWeaver2004s?
    thank you very much

    Hello Guoging,
    you can login to ICM with username Administrator and password abc123. That is described in the start.html file, which you can find in the unzipped Downloadpackage of SAP NetWeaver Java EE 5 Edition.
    You can use NetWeaverAdministrator(NWA) or config tool to configure this edition. NWA
    needs to be installed separately. If you have a default installation, go to
    C:SAPJP1JC00j2eeNWAdmin and execute the file install.bat. Ensure that NetWeaver is running, enter user Administrator und the Masterpassword you chose during installation and wait around 20 Minutes or more. NWA is started automatically after installation has finished in your webbrowser.
    For more information on NWA read the Administrationguide

  • Suddenly unable to login via console

    I restarted my guest that's been running fine for a few days, and suddenly I am unable to login thru the java browser-based console thru the VM Manager.
    Everything about the console looks fine: It shows me all the usual startup messages if I open it while the VM guest is booting, it prompts me for the login username and password but instantly returns to the "TestVMHost login:" prompt after entering the correct password. It does this for all three plain users and root that I have established in this VM guest.
    I can SSH into the VM guest just fine with PuTTY over the network and login with any valid username/password, so I am not locked out of access to the VM guest. It's just the java-browser console app itself that suddenly stopped letting me login.
    Any ideas?
    PS: the VM server is 2.2 and the guest is OEL 5.4 installed from media, not from a pre-built template, both are 64-bits.

    Hi, I have no idea of what can be the reason for your sudden console blackout...
    What I can say is that here on my side, SUDDENLY, after a few random reboots (and without touching anything else!), I'm not experiencing the system-console error messages flood anymore (pls see my last post, sorry I'm a bit in a hurry and I'm not able to put in the link).
    I have a different error now, just one, after that it looks like it started to function "by itself".
    I'm starting to think OVM 2.2 has major problems with networking, and I have the feeling they are related to the new bridge "xenbr0:0" that has been probably created for putting one more layer of abstraction regarding the Server Pool Master (has it been designed like this to make possible automatic migration of VM Guests that used to be running on a failed Server Pool Master? Who knows... On 2.1.5, in that scenario, HA wouldn't have been of help, and no automatic restore of any VM Guest would have happened).
    What I can say after a few days of tests is I dont' trust this system, thinking to steadily go back to 2.1.5...
    I'm maybe doing something wrong too, but this is the feeling. I have also several more minor issues too. Uhm.
