Re: [suse-security] PAM-Entry for Yast2 (was long passwords)

the full PAM-md5 method to generate the passwords (i.e. yast2 seems to use only the usual crypt-seed of 2 characters long).

Perhaps it might be an idea to have yast2 use full PAM support with it's own PAM-parameter-file like /etc/pam.s/yast2 ?

This approach is correct. I have passed it on to our yast2 development team, it's an open bug now. I hope it gets fixed in the future. Thanks for the suggestion and the problem.

Greetings Michael
