(RADIATOR) Unix Passwords

[Kyle]

Hi,
  We're running Radiator on a RH7.0 machine. This system will be
replacing an older radius server that is running on a RH5.2 machine,
using unix authentication. The crypt library on the 5.2 box is much
different than on the 7.0 box, i.e the unix hash of fred on the 5.2
machine is GaQhHAMXkpZUc , and on the 7.0 machine it shadows it as an
md5 password. Radiator does not seem to accept the hash of this password
if put into a mySql database for authentication using the
Encrypted-Password check item. Is this being caused because of the
difference in the crypt libraries? I have also tried putting {crypt}
infront of the password (as shown in the manual page 110). Is there a
known utility that could take the unix hash and convert it into md5? I
have tried a utility to do this, unfortunatly it does not work with
RH5.2, and I run into the problem with the crypt library if I copy the
passwd file over to a RH7.0 system. Any advise is welcome, I've got
aprox a thousand customers I need to port, and no log of original
passwords.
