Title: RE: Help with password migration from Tru64?

Do the passwords have 4 character salts?
If so, the linux libc does not support that format.  However BSD has a libc that will work with those.

Subject: Help with password migration from Tru64?


Hi....

  I am running openldap v3 on a linux server.  I can use the migration
tools to get a MD5 and/or 'crypt' password from the local /etc/shadow
file into a ldap db and use it with ldapsearch , ldapadd, etc.

  But - my big problem is a 1000+ user database from a Tru64 5.0a system
running Enhanced Security, crypt (DES) passwords.  Bringing over those
password entries into ldap doesn't work - i.e. I can't authenticate
with them.  The weird thing is that I can copy/paste them into the
/etc/shadow on the linux host and they work! 

  Any help would be appreciated...thanks....
