Hi,
I have installed Fedora on a machine and forgot to uncheck the password
type so it was installed with MD5, but I need to transfer a password
file from another machine that used DES and I need both machine to use
DES.
I changed USEMD5 to "no" in /etc/sysconfig/authconfig and putting DES
password in the shadow files allows to login but if I use passwd to
change the password the new one is MD5.
Is it possible to switch to DES without reinstalling everything?
Thanks,
GiP
