The passwd file and shadow file on Solaris is: /etc/passwd /etc/shadow just like on Linux. They are both text files with colon delimited records. The issue is the defination of the columns in this files (espcicially in the shadow file) may differ, so you might have to create a quick shell or perl script to do an initial conversion. This should be trivial. The hashes will be portable by virtue of the fact that both platforms undrstand crypt hashes. If you want to go to more secure md5 hashes, though, you will have more work, as their is no reasonable way to convert hashes (running crack on you solaris hashes, getting the passwords and producing their respective md5 hashes is not reasonable, and if it works I would be a little frightened [but perhaps not supprised (-;]). Anyway it can be done, but there are some caveats...james > -- > Albert E.
