Passwords in /etc/shadow file
I want to import my passwd/shadow files from Solaris 6 to Solaris 10. I found that the encryption method for passwords has changed. Is there a command or script to convert the Solaris 6 passwords to Solaris 10? I have searched the net and just can't seem to find the answer.
For Example:
The password "test123" in Solaris 2.6 shadow file:
wsr:8SsdZGI10.48o:13161::::::
The password "test123" in Solaris 10 shadow file:
wsr:rJ6LC282EwCDs:13161::::::
Thanks in advance for your help.
For Example:

wsr:rJ6LC282EwCDs:13161::::::
Thanks in advance for your help.

pwconv
pwconv(1M) System Administration Commands pwconv(1M) NAME
pwconv - installs and updates /etc/shadow with information from /etc/passwd SYNOPSIS
pwconv DESCRIPTION
The pwconv command creates and updates /etc/shadow with information from /etc/passwd. pwconv relies on a special value of 'x' in the password field of /etc/passwd. This value of 'x' indicates that the password for the user is already in /etc/shadow and should not be modified. If the /etc/shadow file does not exist, this command will create /etc/shadow with information from /etc/passwd. The command populates /etc/shadow with the user's login name, password, and password aging information. If password aging information does not exist in /etc/passwd for a given user, none will be added to /etc/shadow. However, the last changed information will always be updated. If the /etc/shadow file does exist, the following tasks will be performed: Entries that are in the /etc/passwd file and not in the /etc/shadow file will be added to the /etc/shadow file. Entries that are in the /etc/shadow file and not in the /etc/passwd file will be removed from /etc/shadow. Password attributes (for example, password and aging information) that exist in an /etc/passwd entry will be moved to the corre- sponding entry in /etc/shadow. The pwconv command can only be used by the super-user. FILES
