yes it will, I've done this many times. This will only work if both systems are using the same encryption type. The most common options are hash and MD5. The "format" of the password is significantly different between the 2 so it should be obvious whether or not both systems are using the same. MD5 typically has a lot of upper case characters and is much longer then crypt, maybe 20-30 characters, crypt is very short(maybe 10 tops). And while I haven't tried this it may work, if you need to revert from MD5 to crypt grep the files in /etc/pam.d and remove the 'md5' from them, on my redhat 7.3 system the only file that has it is system-auth, also looks like there is an /etc/sysconfig/authconfig file that would need to be changed too. nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
