That won't work. $1$ is the magic string for md5 encryption. If the salt doesn't start with that you'll get crypt encryption using the first two characters of the salt. > But can't get a match yet (password was pre-confirmed so that's not the > issue). I'm pretty sure that I am using the md5 encryption (at least as I > recall from the installation) but how can I check this? If you're encrypted passwords start with $1$ you're using md5 encryption. The script works fine for me on RH9 and RH7.3. -- Ian -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
