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.
