Someone correct mew if i'm wrong, but my foggy memory recalls somethng like... if you remove the /usr/lib/libcrypt* symbolic links to descrypt* and instead link them to libscrypt*, and then recompile the system, the DES passwords should still work fine AND the passwords created from that point onwards will be MD5. Of course, any ports using -lcrypt may have to be recompiled too. -Mit On Tue, 18 Aug 1998, Philippe Regnauld wrote: > I'm in the process of blowing away the last Linux box on our network, > and to this effect I installed DES on the new system, for the old password > file. > > The thing is, I'd like to have: > > - old passwords encrypted with DES (that works OK) > - new passwords encrypted with MD5 (which doesn't work -- they get created > as DES, unless I manually stick "$1$" in the beginning of the password > field. > > Is there a way to force MD5 generation, for any password change/creation, > with or without the salt ? > > -- > -[ Philippe Regnauld / sysadmin / regnauld@deepo.prosa.dk / +55.4N +11.3E ]- > > The Internet is busy.
