The question is "What kind of > encryption does Solaris uses??" Solaris uses DES. You'll want to combine /etc/passwd with /etc/master.passwd and put it into /etc/passwd on your Solaris box. Then run pwconv to move the encripted passwords to /etc/shadow. Also, Solaris does not have the 3 additions fields that FreeBSD added. If you are going to use automounter for home directories, then you'll change homedir to /home/user and move the real home dir into /etc/auto_home, in the form: user machine:/real/path/to/user Paul. -- Flying is a nack... the trick is to throw yourself at the ground, and miss..." - Douglas Adams
