Hi everyone, I have a linux box running RHE 4. When doing a pwconvert with the passwd file, the shadow file comes out all mixed up and wrong. Has anyone experienced any troubles with pwconvert? Many thanks in advance. Paula -- --*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* o The Paula J.
