Date: 29 Jan 1995 06:36:36 GMT Organization: Apanix Public Access Unix, +61 8 373 5485 (5 lines) Lines: 19 Message-ID: <3gfd1k$e6h@tipellium.apana.org.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: seldon.apanix.apana.org.au I've just helped a friend upgrade from 1.1.5 to 2.0, and I've noticed a subtle difference in the generic (non-DES) password systems. Ie: they don't seems to be compatible. The problem is, he has over 100 users who use his system daily, and calling each of them to change and reset their passwords is going to be a costly and difficult exercise. Any way to fix this? Conversions? anything?
