I gather you have updated your Linux to MD5 rather than crypt. They will work happily together and change as users change their passwords. Unless you limit to MD5 only. Which isn't a "bright" way. >Has anybody found something that will do this. I want to avoid resetting >them manually. No, you can't convert a crypt password to something sensible then to MD5. See Ross' post about capturing passwords, but the reality is - it's time consuming. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ISPWatch - http://www.ispwatch.com.au The News Network for the Australian ISP Industry [australia.internet.com]
