[QUOTE="azrail, post: 29120"] Ok those dident quite answer my question. I know unix (most flavours) very well. The question I have is 'how' is the password data stored. From when i go into system preferences -> users -> user(change the pass) to where that new password is stored. And how that new password is "encrypted" (not the word to use, encrypted means it can be decrypted, its one-way-hashed) using what hash functions. I have tried to: md5 -s passwordhere > /private/var/db/shadow/hash/myusersgenerateduid but that dident authenticate. If anyone knows how to genereate, or how the once you get that password, how you can store it into the net info database. --dave [/QUOTE]
