With my many recent problems with my machine, I have decided to upgrade to 1.3. I think the developers have done a nice job with the instalation disks, because I noticed a few added features that might help out new users to debian/linux. Anyway, I decided to go with shadow passwd this time around, I know it's bad that I haven't gotten to it before, but basically it was a toy for awhile... now I'm getting some usage/users on it. This brings me to my question. Is there away to take my backup I made of the /etc/passwd and convert it to the shadow passwd? I know for Solaris that you can cut/paste users into /etc/passwd, then run a command to move the encrypted passwords into the shadow file.
I'm sorry to ask such a basic question, but I'm currently doing an ftp install, so I don't have manpages/info on it, and I know the users want to get back on as soon as possible. I hope you can forgive me this once, heh.
