Since I already receive over 300 emails a day from mailing lists, and only have one question for siglinux, could you relay a question for me? I am looking for a way to generate md5 password hashes, like those that go in /etc/shadow, from the command line. Be it a perl module or what, I just want to be able to issue a single command, giving it the string to generate the hash from, and get back the has, via stdout or dumped to a file. Using passwd requires an account, and I'd rather not have a dummy account just for getting password hashes. I tried putting the string in a text file (no newline at the end) and running md5sum on it, but that didn't give the same has as in /etc/shadow. Thanks. -- ; Justin Georgeson ; http://www.lopht.net ; mailto:jgeorgeson@;lopht.net ; "Free the mallocs, delete the news" Just cc: him in your reply. -- Have a nice day, Jeff Strunk sigfree.utacm.org siglinux.utacm.org -- Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself. Mankind. Basically, it's made up of two separate words---"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.
