Operating Systems Solaris Trouble logging in Post 302763203 by brownwrap on Tuesday 29th of January 2013 04:45:41 PM

Trouble logging in
We had a requirement to upgrade to Solaris 10 update 10. This was done to impose new password restrictions. So if I am logged into a machine with the new Solaris, the shadow file looks like this:

Code:
user:BnkEzDH.TQR2c:15734:7:60::35::


If I change the password:

Code:
user:$6$eOHd4.xw$Wmf8X/UZpkfvyZ2MAbnqsHMpAIHvWDCEaA3bWZBbacC.Rm.a8cdQTVYd0JlrCR3ezCbx5U/pbcnn2aYkfcfBM/:15734:7:60::35::



After I change I cannot log back in. If I go back and change shadow to its original entry, I can then log in. It appears to me, the the log in, is not using the same encryption as the password generation.

How come the two are not in sync?
