I'm probably misunderstanding something here, but why should any
converion be needed?
We us NIS to supply /etc/passwd anmd /etc/groups to Solaris, SunOS,
linux, and HP-UX with no issuies. The encrypted password from NIS
is the same as in the file. I can take the ypmap using ypcat, and save it
to a file and replace /etc/passwd with it.
Is there not a function to convert from crypt to md5 passwords,
similar to pwconv and grpconv ? Is it even possible?
