Since I have been having problems with my passwd files on upgrades from 2.2.8 to 3.1 but not on upgrades from 3.0 to 3.1 I wanted to clear a few things up. What style of crypt is listed here; root:6rKXEwLNbIiSw:0:0::0:0:root?:/root:/usr/local/bin/bash And what style of crypt has the $1$ in the password field and is about twice as long? Which one of these is default? Because all my old machines 2.2.7, 2.2.8 etc have the style that I listed above, including my 3.0 machines. When I went from 3.0 -> 3.1 nothing changed. When I went from 2.2.8 -> 3.1 it changed and my passwords like the one listed above dont work now. Any help is greatly appriciated, I'd hate to have to enter thousands of users passwords in.
