Upgrading old RH server

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




We have an old RH7.3 server that holds all of our user accounts. I'm in the process of upgrading everything to FC10 and looking at /etc/shadow I'm noticing some differences in the way the passwords are encrypted/stored.

   RH7.3's string looks like this:
       $1$9cgDnjV/$SLqsoxfwr6tr3o7QkdQ3j1

   Whereas FC10 looks like:
$6$KS2xrBPJ$jXiz1pE9Lpcb8sSSU0ZHifeN9wBwc.k7GdWO4KIJ3F2JqEw/1mD7bPO6b4jvRXiyXrQn0noWPfs.0h6/tjKbe0

I tried simply copying the old shadow file to a new FC10 server and it seems to work just fine, however I wonder if I'm not breaking something else by doing that. So, what's the proper way to do this? I really don't want to have to reset everyone's password (at least not till they reach their forced expiration.)

   Thanks.
