How To Encrypt A Password
I have created the database, and have put the table into it. However, I have hand coded it, so there is not an install file that creates the main admin user for me. That being said, I know how to insert a user directly into the table, but how can I make it so the password is encrypted into the database?

Mysql Password() & Unix Crypt Password...
I am creating a user administration system where system administrator can activate services for a user, like webspace, a mail account or a subdomain. I now want to create a function that creates mysql databases and grant the right privileges to a user. But the problem is that mysql wants to have the plaintext password for the user in the "grant ... identified by 'pwd'" field, or in a manual query to update the password in the mysql.user table with PASSWORD('pwd'). I have another database which holds the passwords for the users, these password are stored the moment a user signs up and are used to activate services, for example ssh access to the machine. The stored passwords are encrypted using crypt(). So for adding a ssh service to a user, I simply do echo "$user:$pwdhash" | chpasswd -e. I have chosen crypt because some programs (like proftpd) don't take md5 sums. The problems is that I don't have the plaintext password. So I cannot add a mysql db. So I need to create a user in mysql with a crypt password. I tried to just "grant all privileges ... identified by 'nothing'" and then afterwards update the mysql.user table and putt the crypt password in there but it doesn't work like that. Does anyone have any idea on how I could fix this, how can I create a user in mysql without having his plaintext password and only having a crypt hash of it. I thought about not only storing a crypt hash, but also an md5 hash and a mysql PASSWORD() hash.. but I think that's an ugly solution.

Encrypt() Problem
I am setting up a Postfix + MySQL + Courier-IMAP system. I am trying to write a shell script which will insert the values into the database. For the password encryption, I wish to use MySQL's encrypt() function. Thisis what I have in my script: echo "INSERT INTO users(id,address,crypt,clear,name,domain,maildir)" > /tmp/insert.sql echo " VALUES('$name@$domain','$name@$domain','encrypt('$ password')','$password','$name','$domain','$userDi r/Maildir')"[color=blue][color=green] >> /tmp/insert.sql[/color][/color] mysql -h $dbhost -u $dbuser -p$dbpass $dbname < /tmp/insert.sql Assuming that the value of $password is "password", instead of the encrypted version of "password", I get the following in the "crypt" field: encrypt('password') I believe this has something to do with the use of the single quotes around 'encrypt('$password')', but I do not know how to work around that.

Encrypt Data
mysql data is stored in text files, it doesn't matter how good the password and policies are, if you have access to the filesystem you can copy the data files and read them in any text editor, so, does mysql have a native way to encrypt the data so you can read it only thru the mysql client

Privacy Of Encrypt Key
I want to encrypt mysql data on a remote linux machine for which I have a terminal server connection to a windows 2003 server machine from which the linux based mysql server is accessed and used. I do not want the administrators of the machines to be able to observe the sql statements with which I access encrypted data or set the encryption key. I have administrator rights of the mysql instance. How can I encrypt data on the remote mysql server and later access it with an encryption key without the administrators of the machines being able to review my sql statements and thus see the encryption key used ?

Can I Set Database User Password When No Root Pw Is Set
I have installed PHPBB MediaWiki and SugarCRM on Ubuntu Server LAMP. I initially tried to set the root password on install and then could not log back in. After reinstall this is what I did for a new non root user. root@invest:~# mysql -V mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.38, for pc-linux-gnu (i486) using readline 5.2 grant CREATE,INSERT,DELETE,UPDATE,SELECT on pauldb.* to paul@localhost; set password for paul = password('mysecretpassword'); flush privileges; exit; Then when i go to login with this user I can't. I have not set a password for root because the same thing happened when I tried to set root pw immediately after install of the database. This time I am trying to work out the access issue with a new user i have created. This way I still have access since and I won't have to reinstall the db.
