NTpasswd - a W2K rescue utility

Since one use for Knoppix is as a rescue disk, a good tool is NTpasswd, found at http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ It is a utility to change the Administrator password on a NT or W2K box. I keep a business card CD with it in my wallet - I have had to use it several times because of people quitting with needed data on their box, forgetting passwords on a brand new server, The guy who created the server yesterday is sick today, at hospital, and the boss didn't ask for the password, etc.

How would one add ntpasswd to the knoppix? I will do it and remaster if someone can tell me how to install it on knoppix. I was under the impression that it was an img to be ran from diskette?

NTpasswd will fit on a floppy, but it is also available as an iso image ( I keep a copy on a businesscard CD in my wallet. )
Also the source code is on the website.
There are tutorials on the http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.ph...masteringHowto so that may help. I think you might need to grab the source and compile with GCC on the knoppix disk, so it knows where to get libraries and is set for the right kernel.
Hope it helps.

I had a look at the licence

"Source & binary freely distributable, as long as distribution
is noncommercial. You may however charge a media/shipping/handling fee
if you include it (along with other software) in some kind of
CD/TAPE/DISK distribution."

it's in debian's non-free section ( free as in freedom.. ) so Klaus may not want this. I am guessing that he has already looked at this.
