Well how do I convert to MD5 and stay there?
By adding 'md5' to the pam_pwcheck.so and pam_unix2.so lines in /etc/pam.d/passwd. It sounds like you've already done this through yast2 but it wouldn't hurt to check the file.
Even the documentation for Suse 8, I think it's from a previous version, stuff just doesn't always add up.
Yes, parts of the manual are sometimes out of sync with the system; the yast stuff is often the last to be finished before the release and the manual has to be sent to published before that. -- -ckm
