Yes, PLEASE - something in YaST (installer) is exactly what I had in mind - an after-the-fact converter might be nice too, with a warning that exists passwords must be reset for changes to take effect.
readme said that afaik. and you just need to copy the pam files into your /etc/pam.d. But okay, would be nicer to have a 'tool'.
RedHat has a "use md5 passwords" option in it's setup (6.2 did at least), SuSE should too.
ACK, like i said, but with the warning that some things can't work with that correctly (afaik debian has such a warning ...) -- intraDAT AG http://www.intradat.com Wilhelm-Leuschner-Strasse 7 Tel: +49 69-25629-0 D - 60329 Frankfurt am Main Fax: +49 69-25629-256 Junk mail is war. RFCs do not apply.
