I guess it's time to replace crypt() with a more modern algorithm. OpenBSD uses eks-Blowfish, which seems to do the job wonderfully. Would it be possible to implement this in SuSE Linux? I guess with PAM this should not be too much work. Also I'd think that when implementing it in PAM as an option there should not be any serious compatibility problems. Did anybody try this yet? If not I'm willing to invest some time in it in the near future...
A patch for pam to support OpenBSD's bcrypt can be found at Nikos Mavroyanopoulos' page at http://members.hellug.gr/nmav/ _ _ _|_ o._ o _ _)(_) |_ || |_>
