No, should be not. The hash on Linux is md5 hash. On Solaris it is DES hash (output from crypt() function). Try it by creating a test user on Linux and substituing the line in /etc/shadow with corresponding line from Solaris (e.g. the above line). I just tried it and it works as it should. So - no problem. Good luck. -- Peter Samek [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
