: ... If your old passwords use another encryption, you must change the method on 10.0 via YaST. This only works if you use "local(/etc/passwd)" for authentification.
JFYI -- passwords encrypted with different algorithms are different enough to figure out the algorithm used, and to process it correctly. Right now I have blowfish selected as a default, but still have a few users with md5-encrypted passwords.
Hi Alexander,
thanks for that information. Is this a new feature? As far as I remember, in older SuSE versions all passwords must have the same encryption. Or am I wrong?
No idea. I am a new suse user, however I am very surprized if it didn't really worked before. In the case of FreeBSD it worked this way for ages. -- Best regards, Alexander.
