- Subject: [PATCH] Use SHA-512 for password encoding by default.
- Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2008 17:18:23 -1000
Encode passwords using SHA-512 by default. Users can override
this in a Kickstart file using the 'auth' command. The options
below determine the algorithm used:
--enablemd5 -or- --passalgo=md5 MD5
--passalgo=sha256 SHA-256
--passalgo=sha512 SHA-512
The previous default was MD5. glibc now supports SHA-256 and
SHA-512, so we are using the strongest of those choices by
default now.
