Solaris vs. Linux passwords

Solaris vs. Linux passwords

[César Soler]

Hi,

I would like to migrate a server from Solaris to Linux (the box is a
web server with ftp service). The problem comes when I try to migrate
the login acounts keeping the same password. Looking at the
/etc/shadow file, it seems that different encryption algorithms are
used. Is there anyway to keep the same password? (there are too many
users to ask it, of course :-)).
The OS version are: SunOS 2.8 and RH 7.2.

thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,
 César                          mailto:csoler@euskalnet.net

Solaris uses 3DES encryption. Linux uses MD5 by default but optionally will use 3DES.
