SHA, MD5, LDAP for passwords


I have a server authenticating against a Netscape/SunONE directory and it works fine, but when a user uses the passwd command to change passwords, the hash sent to the directory doesn't match what the user types.

Results:
PW in the LDAP direcotry is unkown, because hash is SHA
Linux uses MD5....

Can I make Linux use md5?

Any other solutions?

im not exactly sure but i believe you would have to look into how pam and libc works libc stores passwords for passwd i can be setup to do sha or what ever else you need google for it i guess
