I am switching a system from RH 6.0 to debian. I installed without md5 passwords, but could not get the RH password files to log me in.
When I ran john the ripper on the old passwd files it said something to the effect that it thought the passwds were FreeBSD MD5 passwords. Assuming that is correct -- how can I change passwd to use md5 and will that allow me to drop in the existing passwd, shadow, and group files; or does anyone know of something else I might need to take into account Thanks for the help
