I'll give this a try, but looking at /etc/shadow right now does not look
like HEX characters after the $1$.
Does anyone know if this is a standard algorithm? Or if /etc/pam can use
SHA or another encryption I can easily export out of the directory
server? So far my searches seem only MD5 or crypt is what is normal for
Redhat.

It appears this isn't working, is there a way for me to do this?
Not
all machines are using >ldap but I would like to export from ldap.
Hi,
I haven't tried this, but here's an idea just off the top of
my head
which _might_ work:
1. take away the {MD5} from the string
2. base64 decode the rest of the string
3. convert the string to hex
4. put the $1$ at the front of the hex string
5. put the whole string into the password field in /etc/shadow and
test
If that works, you could write a perl script to automate the
procedure.
And report back to >the list as well :-)
BR,
