Linux Redhat RHAS 2.1 & 3.x /etc/shadow hash algorithm

Question

We are trying to load the linux user passwords into our OID server.
The hash is not unix crypt.
We have other unix like the HPUX server's work fine as {CRYPT} but the linux shadow does not migrate.
What is the default hash algorithm for RH?
Has anybody done users & passwords from RH -to-> OID?

Answer 1

That's what we all remember too. But it doesnt.
HPUX uses {CRYPT} syncs fine with OID userPassword field.
That same password value doesn't match with Linux.
So we tried {MD5} format. no luck.
I've created the user rp9999 rp9999 on several Linux systems. differnet value each time:
i tried this on my linux machine:
useradd rp9999 rp9999
passwd rp9999 (type password wrong twice: rp9999 rp9999)
/etc/shadow
rp9999:$1$YkjrvM53$gIyxjK8fLFuCmPjywPPXz/:13024:0:99999:7:::
Linux mach1 2.4.21-27.0.2.EL #1 Wed Jan 12 23:46:37 EST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
so i went to a different machine - mach2:
rp9999:$1$d.DdubGw$Gqj.LxU8Fejq5yNFMSphC1:13024:0:99999:7:::
but from seperate DIFFERENT oid servers user=rp9999 & oidpasswd=rp9999:
authpassword;orclcommonpwd={MD5}XxXV8b0izcJsmcQJ23lmoQ==
userpassword: {MD5}XxXV8b0izcJsmcQJ23lmoQ==
What's going on with Linux /etc/shadow?
