Cntlm

Updating password in cntlm :

In a Linux slice, cntlm config file is usually located here :

/etc/cntlm.conf
or
/usr/local/etc/cntlm.conf

Many corporate security policies require regular password changes, CNTLM makes these very easy.

First, get the hashes for the new password with:

cntlm -H

Copy and paste those hashes into your cntlm.conf file located at:

/etc/cntlm.conf
or
/usr/local/etc/cntlm.conf

(if you get this error while trying to edit the file : readonly option is set (add ! to override) - This happens when the user is trying to write on a file without the right permissions. Login as root using sudo su and now you can do the edit.)

Restart your CNTLM instance and reconnect, you should be good to go

: brew services restart cntlm (if you have brew installed)

If this doesn’t work, restarting the slice using the command reboot works.
