Hi, I also have Suse 10.1 with lattest up-dates. My /etc/security/pam_pwcheck.conf only contains: password nullock and I have no /etc/default/ directory ?!?! Also my /etc/passwd is a plain "normal" passwd file. the /etc/shadow contains the correct Blowfish passwords. Do you have Local authentication on your system or do you use NIS ?

Hi,
I do not know what version of SuSE you use. But since 9.2 I have systems running with blowfish encryption and the root passwd on my systems is always 25 chars. And I had no problem so far.
Regards, Pedro
It's really strange, i've checked :
/etc/security/pam_pwcheck.conf password: minlen=12 maxlen=20 cracklib blowfish nullok
cat /etc/default/passwd : # This file contains some information for # the passwd (1) command and other tools # creating or modifying passwords.
# Define default crypt hash # CRYPT={des,md5,blowfish} CRYPT=blowfish
In /etc/shadow i am not seeing the '$2a$10$' for users created lately. I added users manually without warnings or error messages, but how can one be sure that the password hasn't being truncated ? How do I know, besides the "magic '$2a$10$'", the encryption method is blowfish ?
This is SuSE 10.1
