Did you try adding new users back to the /etc/passwd file, and then issue
command "pwconv" to create /etc/shadow? Afterwards, issue command "passwd
username" to update the password?

The password encryption algorithm changed in Solaris 8. You cannot use
the shadow file from Solaris 7 nor 2.6. I don't remember for sure but I
believe it's mentioned in the Advanced Installation Guide under the
JumpStart section.

It's not mentioned anywhere because it's completely untrue. Solaris 8
uses the same password encryption algorithm used by every previous
version of SunOS & Solaris, and almost every UNIX system ever made.
(Many modern systems offer alternatives, but I've never seen one that
can't handle the original UNIX pwd crypt format.)

Per the Sun instructor in my JumpStart class, the encryption has changed
in Solaris 8. It was iterated several times for it's importance in the
creation of the sysidcfg file. Can you explain your source? Since you
work for Sun, perhaps you can verify it with their engineers.

1. Convert NIS passwd back to standard /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow
I have not been able to find any info or a script that will allow
me to convert my current /var/yp/passwd back to the standard /etc/passwd
and /etc/shadow files.
Does anyone know of any tool(s) for doing this?
Thanks in advance.
