In /etc/login.conf, change the default 'passwd_format' entry from 'md5' to 'des', and rebuild the login.conf.db file: perl -pi.old -e 's/:passwd_format=md5:/:passwd_format=des:/;' \ login.conf cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf You'll have to get all your users to change passwords again if they've got a new style MD5 password hash. > Or is there any way I can direct Solaris recognize the "new style" > passwords? Upgrade to Solaris 9 which understands MD5 password hashes.
