Hello,

recently I got an idea to create 2 simple scripts which one of them will export users from AIX and second one import users to Linux(RHEL).

Unfortunately I have run to issue with password hashing. Each of the systems is using different password hashing, for AIX we use SHA256 and for the RHEL SHA512. Is there some way to convert those hashes so I can use the same hash on both of the systems? Or anybody found some solution for this already?

Thank you in advance
