I have root on a Novell (Suse based) server and am trying to figure out where the eDirectory passwords are stored and if there is a method to crack these. Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Is ndsd running on that server? Look for /var/nds/dib on the server. You can take an image of the database with ndsbackup, but if I remember correctly it shuts down the directory server while it runs. Even so, I'm doubtful that the files will be in a format where object names and password hashes will be visible like they are in an /etc/shadow file.
