If you're using the Linux shadow-mk package, it comes with a program
called "pwunconv" which will do the trick for you.
One caveat: It's a horridly slow program. In fact, it's actually a
bit worse than that. It does a "getspwnam()" on every entry in the
passwd file, so it's a (number of entries)^2 kind of thing.
Attached is a perl program which will do exactly the same thing in
about 1/100th of the time, quite literally. Sorry about the huge disclaimer.
