Hi,

I have several thousand passwords under Solaris and I'm trying to migrate
the users to FreeBSD. I have translated the password files OK and most
users work fine.

Unfortuantely some user's passwords fail. The encrypted passwords are
identical in shadow on Solaris and master.passwd under FreeBSD but crypt
returns a different string.

The passwords look DES like to me, 13 chars long with no $'s. Anyone have
any ideas? Does Solaris use some variation on DES perhaps?

The FreeBSD box is 4.5-RELEASE.

Thanks,

Andrew
