I need to syncronize a server's user passwords to those in a database.
The database spits out cleartext passwords. I have to somehow get
those into the password database on the server. The first way I came
up with was calling chpass(1) and feeding it the new password, but
according to the man page, it will only take encrypted passwords, not
cleartexts.
How do I encrypt a password so I can insert it using chpass?
Is there another way I can do this?
