Lowell, THANK-YOU!! Wow something so small as the case (for both MD5 and DES) made the difference to making the passwd give that very odd error. It is weird I did not see this mentioned in the docs / messages as I thought I followed them exactly. Must be my inexperience. :) Ah well, all is better now, and thanks again for your help :passwd_format=md5:\ (works) Cheers Paul At 08:54 AM 12/01/2001 -0500, you wrote: >pc.mackenzie@utoronto.ca (Paul MacKenzie) writes: > > > :passwd_format=MD5:\ > >I thought case was significant: shouldn't that be 'md5' instead of 'MD5'?
