Sounds like its worth a try. I'll be holding my breath while it boots
the first time...

Now about a "known hash." I don't have an AIX box to look at... All I
have is Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and FreeBSD at the moment. I am assuming
that they're all different.

Any kind soul with an AIX box have or be willing to create me a hash for
a known password? Please?
