Getting outlook connector to work on JES
June 1, 2006 at 1:40 pm (Open-Systems)
I’m trying to play with the latest JES/Outlook connector combo. It seems to have come a long way since the last time I tried it, but I’m still having some problems. When I start Outlook, it prompts me to log into the addressbook. I enter the correct password, but it just reprompts me until I eventually just hit cancel. Here is the solution:

Solaris – Extending 8 char limit on password
June 1, 2006 at 1:19 pm (Open-Systems)
Every user on a UNIX® system has a password associated with their account. It seems obvious that these passwords need to be known only to the user and the actual operating system. In order to keep these passwords secret, they are encrypted with what is known as a “one-way hash”, that is, they can only be easily encrypted but not decrypted. In other words, the operating system itself does not really know the password. It only knows the encrypted form of the password. The only way to get the “plain-text” password is by a brute force search of the space of possible passwords.

What’s needed:
Firmware – You must have the sveasoft firmware installed on your router. I’m currently using WRT54G_Wolf_W42_Alchemy_6rc1 which can be found at
