Hi,

I am trying to sync passwords between Solaris and FreeBSD 4.5. For most
users it works fine but certain users get authentication failures under
FreeBSD.

The encrypted passwords are the same on both OSs but crypt returns
different results. Is this a bug? Is Solaris using something other than
straight DES (I'm not a Solaris person so I'm not sure where to look for
that)?

The code I used to test is appended below. I've tried from C as well just
to make sure it wasn't a perl bug (not to mention the users can't check
their mail via POP etc).

Thanks,

Andrew

#!/usr/bin/perl
($login, $spass, $uid) = getpwnam($ARGV[0]);
print('Password: ');
$upass = <STDIN>;
chomp($upass);
print('System: ', $spass, "\n");
print('User:   ', crypt($upass, $spass), "\n");
if (crypt($upass, $spass) eq $spass) {
    print("yes\n");
} else {
    print("no\n");
}
