I'm going to be migrating users from a slink box to a potato box soon,
I'm using old crypt right now, but i'm going to move to MD5
authentication. I'm hoping that PAM is smart enough to detect the old
crypt hashes in my current shadow entries, and I can just set a special
shell script to force a password change on next login to update to MD5.
Thank You,
Ben Kochie (ben at nerp.net)
