Yes Nate, I checked it - since the user is created, if I cut and paste the
crypted password from the /etc/shadow of the origin machine and paste it to
the /etc/shadow of the second machine, the user can logon with the same
password!!
A better way might be to use usermod with the '-p' option. There is
more opportunity to destroy the shadow password file using an editor.
root # usermod -p 'some encrypted password' username
This will allow you to script the whole process as well.
for user in user1 user2 user3
do
password=$(egrep "^$user:" old_shadow_file | cut -d: -f2)
usermod -p "$password" $user
done
