Actually... I'm wanting to do the oposite... I want to migrate from crypt shadow passwords to md5sum passwords in LDAP. Any hints on the best way to do this? I'm thinking I could have some fancy PAM setup that accepts crypt and md5sum passwords, and updates from crypt to md5sum whenever someone changes their passwd. Alternatively I could use some crypt-then-md5sum wierd thing where the passwds are crypted then md5sumed... this would make it md5sum secure strait away without having to wait for people to change their passwd to update it. I'm only just thinking about it at this stage, but are there any traps with LDAP and shadow stuff? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ABO: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more info, including pgp key ----------------------------------------------------------------------
