This is probably a silly question, but...
We'd like to move our authentication system over to kerberos. We've
got a mixed environment of Solaris / IRIX / Linux servers which we hope
to make kerberos-aware for services like telnet, ftp, POP, radius and
WWW. We're currently using ol' fashioned /etc/{passwd,shadow}.
However... How do we go about setting up the principal database?
From what I can gather we'd need clear-text passwords for every one
of our users (>> 15,000 people), which is not practical. Is there
any means of importing /etc/shadow to initialise the database?
