11.2. Setting a Password for the Piranha Configuration Tool
Before using the Piranha Configuration Tool for the first time on the primary LVS router, you must restrict access to it by creating a password. To do this, login as root and issue the following command:
/usr/sbin/piranha-passwd |
After entering this command, create the administrative password when prompted.
 | Warning |
|---|---|
For a password to be more secure, it should not contain proper nouns, commonly used acronyms, or words in a dictionary from any language. Do not leave the password unencrypted anywhere on the system. |
If the password is changed during an active Piranha Configuration Tool session, the administrator is prompted to provide the new password.
