| 00:36.06 | Noshei | GAH |
| 00:36.12 | Noshei | this is so stupid |
| 00:36.18 | Imhothar | another car comemrcial_ |
| 00:36.28 | Imhothar | ? |
| 00:36.36 | Noshei | so they decided to change the root password on all of our ESXi hosts at the company I work at |
| 00:36.57 | Noshei | but they decided they weren't going to tell anyone the new password until it was changed on every single host |
| 00:37.33 | Noshei | and today I have an issue where I need the root password, and it is after hours, and no one knows the new password and the people that do are unavailable! |
| 00:37.50 | Ivnedar | no sudo? |
| 00:37.52 | Imhothar | yay for bureaucracy |
| 00:38.06 | Noshei | Ivnedar: sudo? |
| 00:38.35 | Imhothar | Ivnedar I guess you'd need the pw to get sudo in the first place |
| 00:39.01 | Ivnedar | privilege escalation |
| 00:39.09 | Ivnedar | log in as yourself, then sudo to root |
| 00:39.29 | Imhothar | last time I checked sudo asks for my admin pw |
| 00:39.30 | Noshei | oh yeah no not with esxi. from an account perspective esxi acts very much like a cisco switch. |
| 00:39.48 | Ivnedar | su asks for root password, sudo normally asks for your own password |
| 00:40.01 | Imhothar | nope |
| 00:40.07 | Imhothar | or wait, maybe |
| 00:40.26 | Imhothar | of course it does |
| 00:40.31 | Imhothar | it's late |
| 00:40.47 | Ivnedar | In theory, you could write a pam module for sudo that requires the root password instead |
| 00:42.59 | Noshei | esxi doesn't have sudo |
| 00:43.34 | Noshei | and the way these servers are configured the only way to log into them is the root account |
| 00:43.49 | Noshei | no ad integration or other local accounts |
