Re: Converting Users from Solaris to (Debian-)Linux



The shadow file format between linux and solaris are different, but as
long as you have the crypt() portion from the solaris shadow file, you can
put it in the linux shadow file.

example linux /etc/shadow entry:

joeuser:YxlYT1esV4yz2:11474:0:99999:7:::

example solaris /etc/shadow entry:

joeuser:YxlYT1esV4yz2:11513::::::

The /etc/passwd entries will look the same.
