next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have an /etc/passwd file from another UNIX system which uses DES
passwords. My /etc/passwd on FreeBSD appears to use MD5 passwords, but I
did make changes in /usr/lib to allow DES passwords to be recognized by NIS.
(Basically, I'm getting rid of NIS and want to merge the password file from
my old NIS master server into my FreeBSD's passwd file.) I also made the
proper change to /etc/login.conf. What else do I need to do? Can't "vipw"
process DES passwords? I've appended the output from "vipw", info about my
libcrypt links in /usr/lib, and an excerpt from /etc/login.conf.
Any quick responses would be greatly appreciated. I'm in a maintenance
window right now and would like to get this done before my users sign on in
the morning. please excuse the obnoxious "*URGENT*" bit in the Subject. :)

"vipw" fails with this error:
vipw: rebuilding the database...
pwd_mkdb: corrupted entry
pwd_mkdb: at line #30
pwd_mkdb: /etc/pw.O42780: Inappropriate file type or format
re-edit the password file? [y]:
line #30 is the beginning of the file i read in.
Here's what I have in /usr/lib:
