You should be OK provided, all use the same way of encrypting the password
(like coping from RH 6.1 to RH61 should be fine), and that they both

You could also use NIS for this, which
would mean you'd only have to change your password once, however if this
isn't an internal protected machine then NIS isn't a good choice.
