Password Creation

LIDS uses a user defined password it stores in encrypted form(Ripe MD-160), in /etc/lids/lids.pw. To create a new password simply type:

lidsadm -P

It will prompt you twice for your new password and then change the password. This will obviously only work if LIDS is turned off. Once you have done this every time you need to reload the configuration and turn LIDS on or off you will have to enter your password in plaintext.
