Team:
We have to provide the password reset1r in encrypted
form in a useradd script(our own script). We got the
encrypted form of reset1r by creating a dummy user
with
this password . The entry for that user came as
test1:H9gMzRWn2q42M,A/xO:10186:20:,:/home/test1:/bin/ksh.
Here ':' is the delimiter and should we take the
encrypted password as
H9gMzRWn2q42M,A/xO or H9gMzRWn2q42M or
H9gMzRWn2q42M,A/ ? Because many
other user entries in the passwd file is having only
till A/ and many other
users have the encrypted passwords ending in '.,A/'
instead of ',A/'.
Could someone tell which character will be the
encrypted password? and whether our approach has any
gotchas...??
Thanks
Joe.
