We're basically inventorying all our servers. Since these are in a devel
lab, the users move the servers around (literally) sometimes, can
rebuild their boxes on the fly (they loose our support), etc.
This will be part of our inventory process, to see *if* the passwords
have been changed (i.e. rebuilt server so no longer under support)
I wish I could give more specifics, but due to the nature, I have to be
pretty vague.
These servers are already part of NIS+, with local root.
Again, I don't want to make the passwords the same, just check to see if
they are. purely inventory only.

Roy,
Would it be sufficient if you made all the passwords the same? You
could simply pick on of the servers and make it the Master (so to
speak). Copy it's hash to all the other unix boxen and then you'll know
that all the pw's are the same across boxen.
You could also enable NIS logins and point everything to one Unix box.
I can't think of any other easy way of making sure the pw's were the
same... outside of using a pw breaking app on each server and then
comparing.
Good Luck - Jon

Subject: [TriLUG] Need to compare pw's
To: Triangle Linux Users Group discussion list <[email protected]>
Folks,
I need to compare passwords among differing *nix boxes. I need to
verify the different hashes on the boxes and determine if they are
the
same or different. *I do NOT need to crack them!!*
Does anyone know a simple procedure on comparing 2 passwords using
the
hashes? I can sed/grep/awk whatever to get the hashes out of the
password files (names will *not* be given here for security
purposes),
but I'm not sure is a simple "if [ $a ne $b ] then..." will work.
TIA,
Roy
