Re: [cobalt-developers] migration utility lose users passwords

["Valore AF" <af@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, I try to comparing cmu.xml file and the shadow file in the old machine,
and are identical (match), but after the cmuImport, the password don't
functioning and the new file /etc/shadow have a different password. I try to
change it, but without successful. What password is the new password? Why
happens this things? I don't want to change over 500 users password, because
this is a big work, and my customer are unhappy if they lose their pwd...

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

Alex
