Hi there! I have recently migrated my old server from OpenSUSE 10.0 to CentOS 5. Almost everything works great, except for one thing - user passwords. In the old system they were in a form: root:$2a$05$9V.P3/KV2fd0r/O8hs0gNueaidF35edj3DL6skb32qZJNpvwVHiUO:12183:0:99999:7::: and that format doesn't seem to be understood by CentOS. When I change the password I get something like: root:$1$Z0HGYkIb$fbkW0gR6c.k7rENE1NlzE0:14055:0:99999:7::: Note the encrypted password begins with $2a$... in OpenSUSE while in CentOS it starts with $1$... CentOS passwords (MD5?) are understood by OpenSUSE but OpenSUSE passwords (SHA1?) are not understood by CentOS. Is there any way around that? Perhaps get some PAM module from OpenSUSE? Or just some setting somewhere? Having to reset passwords for all my users would be a royal pain. Thanks! PaPa
