Hi, Currently we're running a webserver on 2.2-stable. I'd like to upgrade this machine to 2.2.7 and eventually bring it to 3.0 later. Since the web server is a very high traffic machine I've decided to build a second machine, throw 2.2.7 on it, copy user directories over to it, and name it with the same IP. If this all goes right then users should never know the difference. Here's the catch... When I did this, and copied /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd over from the 2.2.stable machine it stops recognizing passwords. What was a valid password on the 2.2-stable machine doesn't work on the 2.2.7 machine. I DID run pwd_mkdb and it seemed to work. When I look at the /etc/master.passwd I notice that the 2.2-stable version has much shorter encrypted passwords. I know I'm missing the obvious, but can someone show me my mistake? - Terry Ewing <terrye@deepwell.com> Deepwell Internet Services To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
