Feature changed by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Feature #312617, revision 5 Title: drop libxcrypt openSUSE Distribution: Evaluation by product manager Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: libxcrypt is nowadays mostly superfluous as glibc supports sha256 and sha512 itself. blowfish and the gensalt functions can be patched in via crypt_blowfish addon. Needed adjustments: - glibc - pam - pam-modules (pam_unix2) - pwdutils - yast2-core Disadvantage: we currently lose support for bigcrypt. Discussion: #1: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2012-03-15 13:03:43) The work for glibc has been done - hasn't it? #2: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2012-03-15 13:04:20) Ludwig, Thorsten, what kind of work is needed for pam, pam-modules and pwdutils? + #3: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) (2012-03-15 13:07:26) (reply to #2) + Nothing, done since ages. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312617
