I need to convert the md5-hashed passwords in /etc/{passwd,shadow} on
one of the boxes here into the plain crypt format.
authconfig, pwconv and pwunconv are not the tools for doing this (they
just configure pam accordingly and create/remove /etc/shadow).
What I need is something to convert between the passwd formats.
(Long story, but I need this to compare/use passwords in a radius
database to do things for dialup users).
Is this actually possible?
(I have a suspicion that the answer is no, and that in order to do
what I need, all the passwords might need to be individually reset
without md5 enabled. Ouch... tricky and not easily possible as I
don't have all the clear-text passwords - nor do I want to have them).
Cheers
Tony
