A simple perl script should do the conversion for everything but the password. I wrote one myself and it does a great job. The whole purpose of encrypted passwords is so you can't decrypt them. If you used a Cray or something you could probably decrypt them, but I don't know very many people that have Cray access. Some versions of RADIUS (I don't know which... possibly the Merit one?) have a field for "Encrypted-Password" that you can use instead of "Password" in your RADIUS records. In this case, it's a simple case of copying the encrypted password from the passwd file and putting it in the users file. I wish Livingston RADIUS supported this. -- Nick ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nick Seraphin nick@eaglequest.com President http://www.eaglequest.com/ EagleQuest, Inc.
