setzadmin to setadmin

[StefanMNS]

HI,

Can somebody from dev team confirm that this is perfectly safe way to change user/reseller ( admin in this case ) password using setzadmin script ?
This would be a nice script feature.

cd /etc/sentora/panel/bin
cp setzadmin setadmin
sed -i s/zadmin/admin/ setadmin

./setadmin --noregen --set newpassword

Regards,
Stefan

setzadmin is only designed to reset the main zadmin password. Once logged in as zadmin you can then update and change all other account passwords for clients.

I will tag the devs to see what they think though.

Hi

My 2 cents :
"zadmin" is a very special user. Currently it is fixed (this does not hurts security as long as you setup a password long enough for it) but it was asked many time to enable to change it, so it may be done one day.

Using a such modifyed setzadmin script should works now, but doing so is not safe because nobody will not take such use in account if later setzadmin become modified according to new requirements.

If you really need a command line tool to change user password, it would be better to modify the script setzadmin to include username entry in arguments, ie: --user=username (default=zadmin), or to rewrite a new tool dedicated to that. (In both cases, think to issue a pull request on github !)

Well, right now i need to use a modified script to change users/resellers accounts.
Basicaly because we are expending and plainig to build up a lot of VM running Sentora with clients access to just reseller accounts.
And i need a way to generate passwords for lets say admin accounts on each of this VMs in some automatic way.

5050 again thanks for positive and progressive support
