MD5 and shadow for a soft migration

Hello List, Sorry for the crosspost, but I got no anserwer on the security list. Any ideas here? I'm using shadow for auth on my SuSE 7.2pro. Now some modules need md5. Is it possible to use MD5 and shadow parallel on one system? I think something like following should run? sufficent md5-module (don't know which module) required shadow (don't know which module) Here should be a md5 password enought to auth to the system, else the shadow will be used. Is it possible? If so are there any security concerns? Which module should I use? (please add some example config) best regards, Hans -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln! Fotogalerie online mit GMX ohne eigene Homepage!
