I would like to export the MD5 hash from the Fedora directory user's

It appears this isn't working, is there a way for me to do this? Not all
machines are using ldap but I would like to export from ldap.
Hi,
I haven't tried this, but here's an idea just off the top of my head
which _might_ work:
1. take away the {MD5} from the string
2. base64 decode the rest of the string
3. convert the string to hex
4. put the $1$ at the front of the hex string
5. put the whole string into the password field in /etc/shadow and test
If that works, you could write a perl script to automate the procedure.
And report back to the list as well :-)
No, the password field is not in hex, it uses the same 6-bit encoding
that DES crypt() uses, which is different from base64. base64 uses the
characters [A-Z][a-z][0-9]+/ while crypt uses the characters
./[0-9][A-Z][a-z] (in those exact orders).
