I already use useradd for adding new users (although I dont add their password at that stage) but I also use chpasswd for resetting passwords. Can you use useradd to change passwords after a user is created? > The "standard" poppassd does not do md5.

So I need to work out how to make it use a MD5 PAM module I guess... > Man the following... > pwconv, pwunconv, grpconv, grpunconv > These are the password conversion programs (to/from shadow/passwd) Looked at those. They seem to be for moving passwords between /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow but not between encoding schemes unless I have missed something. -- Regards, +-----------------------+---------------------------------+ | Peter Kiem | E-Mail : <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | Zordah IT | Mobile : +61 0414 724 766 | | IT Consultancy & | WWW : www.zordah.net | | Internet Hosting | ICQ : "Zordah" 866661 | +-----------------------+---------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
