hello Florian, I am familiar with these tools, unfortunately they cannot help me. These are for converting from a non-shadowed system to a shadowed, or to update an existing shadowed system with changes made to non-shadow files. I would need something to convert from MD5 to DES, and I think if I could do that I should be richer than I am :p thank you much for your thought however ;) ~jerry -----Original Message----- From: Florian Verdet [mailto:florian.verdet@unifr.ch] Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 16:43 PM To: pam-list@redhat.com Subject: Re: solaris md5 password authentication Hi Jerry, Hi listreaders, ________________________________________ \|Jerry Bonner <Jerry.Bonner@cpinternet.com> ha scrit als Tue, 25 Feb 2003 16:05:55 -0600: |this is my first post to this list, I'll start off by saying I'm glad to |have found it, being that it looks more active than some other resources I |have found. | |here's what I'm trying to do, I'm not sure if it will work the way that I |might want but here goes : I need to migrate users account from a redhat box |to a Solaris box ( I realize this should be the other way around...), but I |would like for them to be able to keep their passwords intact since I have |to migrate *alot* of users.
