UNIX Authentication Without PAM or LDAP

The program vovgetpasswd is used to get the shadow password on Linux. You need to be concerned about this program if:

• You are running a server on Linux
• You want to use the browser interface
• You want to protect access to the project with authentication
• Your /etc/nsswitch.conf file specifies that the password information should be taken from files rather than through nis or nisplus.

If, for any reason, you need to reinstall vovgetpasswd again, you need to execute the following commands as root:

% cd $VOVDIR/bin
% su root
% chown root vovgetpasswd
% chmod u+s vovgetpasswd
% exit
