[SOLVED] Move passwords from /etc/shadow to zimbra

[evertonxvieira]

Hello,

I'm trying to use this script from the wiki to get the shadow's password and put it into zimbra ldap, but it's not working.

Script from wiki:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Usage: as root # ./shadow2zm.pl /etc/shadow > shadow.zm
# as zimbra # zmprov < shadow.zm

$domain="my.domain.com";

while(<>) {
chomp;
my ($uname,$pass) = split(/:/);

print qq{zmprov ma $uname\@$domain userPassword '{crypt}$pass'\n};
print qq{\n};
}


The first command runs withou problems ( ./shadow2zm.pl /etc/shadow > shadow.zm)

But when I try to execute the second command with zimbra user(zmprov < shadow.zm) its prompt to me several messages like this:

prov> Unknown command. Type: 'help commands' for a list
prov> Unknown command. Type: 'help commands' for a list
prov> Unknown command. Type: 'help commands' for a list
prov> Unknown command. Type: 'help commands' for a list

And the password from the file shadow.zm was not apllyed.

Can anyone give me a hint?

Just run it as

su - zimbra
sh ./shadow.zm

The reason why is that zmprov is being called for each line anyway.
