I need to move several thousand user entries from a Solaris 2.5.1 system to a Debian system. The problem that I have is to move the encrypted passwords.
I have moved passwords between Debian systems by editing the passwd file and using 'cut & paste". When I tried "cutting & pasting" between Solaris and Debian, it didn't work. Is it possible to move the passwords by doing some form of "bit shifting" - converting between little "indian" and big "indian"? If so, can someone tell me the procedure? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Butch
