Note that Fedora Core 4 is no longer maintained for security updates

Different in what way? I think they should both be using the same
md5 setup from the shadow-utils package, so they should be compatible. 
They might look different if you re-encrypt the password as they will
use different salt values and so forth, but they should work I would
think.
