it possible to use MD5 and shadow parallel on one system?
? Unsure, if I understand you corrently. MD5 hashes get stored in /etc/shadow by default. shadow can even be mixed, well, new PWs are MD5, old crypted work still. After migration turn it off for security of course. So MD5 "is" shadow maybe? Of course you can put md5 (or other) hashes to LDAP or a database instead of shadow. But you asked for MD5 and shadow. :-)
Sorry I ment MD5 and DES :-) My system is running on DES and I need to migrate to MD5, but it is impossible to do it completly in one task.
I think something like following should run? sufficent md5-module (don't know which module) required shadow (don't know which module)
wasn't it like required /lib/security/pam_unix.so md5 to turn on that option?
is it possible to turn on both? best regards, hans -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln! Fotogalerie online mit GMX ohne eigene Homepage!
