I believe they will migrate but you must change the 
encryption type in the database to "md5sum" once they are 
imported. Try importing them into a unique group 
(client_idnr) and then use an SQL statement applying it to 
that client_idnr exclusively to change all encrypt type to 
'md5sum' for your md5 hash lot.

If md5-hash is entered in the database with the transfer, 
DbMail will read it as md5 digest and look for the random 
seed to decrypt.

In short, if your truly mean md5 hash, a one-way hash 
algorithm defined by RFC1321, then md5sum is what should be 
in the database as encrypt type.

Subject: [Dbmail] importing usernames and passwords


Hello,
  I'm trying to import system accounts from one machine to 
another.
Passwords that were encrypted using the LInux crypt function 
import fine
by inserting them directly into the database and setting the 
password
encryption to crypt .  However, passwords that were 
encrypted using
md5-hash are not working.  Will those passwords be 
impossible to import
from another system?

Thanks in advance,

Curtis
