Hi,
We recently were asked to administer a DA server running on Centos. We already have 2 (Debian) and this 'new' server keeps having troubles with the admin password.
Login with the password belonging to 'admin' won't work. So, I log in with SSH and do:
And change the password to the one we had on file. This works, and I can log into DA no problem. Login / logout several times, works fine now.
After (??) days when I need to log in again, admin password doesn't work anymore. So I need to go into ssh again, and repeat the ritual.
And then it works again (for ... days...)
I'm not sure where to begin looking for this problem. So far I've checked all (user) crons running on this server but can't find a clue.
Last time I decided to change the admin password from within DA also (after of course changing it in ssh first before I could get in). Maybe DA does some magic ... But nope.
Any idea what could be wrong ? Searching forums for "lost password" always brings up the wrong threads (we didn't lose the password, DA loses it ...)
Thanks,
Martin
