I'm trying to create a master.passwd file that I can crack as part of a demo for an IAS class. I don't want to muck about with my live master.passwd or even a copy of it, since the passwords there take too long to crack. I tried copying /usr/src/etc/master.passwd and /usr/src/etc/group to and empty folder called /root/crackdemo/ I then did: pw -V /root/crackdemo/ usermod root -h 0 new password for user root: secret pw: user 'root' does not exist (NIS?) I then tried: pwd_mkdb -d /root/crackdemo/ master.passwd pw -V /root/crackdemo/ usermod root -h 0 new password for user root: secret pw: user 'root' does not exist (NIS?) What did I do wrong? Any suggestions? Thanks, Micah
