Anaconda isn't going to ask the user what they want to use to encrypt passwords. That's completely unreasonable for a user to figure out what the right answer is. We should pick a sane default and then anaconda will use whatever that default is. Sorry, I am not that familliar with anaconda screens, I thought you were already given the option... Looking at anaconda's code there seem to be a couple classes for asking the question: /usr/lib/anaconda/iw/auth_gui.pyc - AuthWindow /usr/lib/anaconda/textw/userauth_text.py - AuthConfigWindow I also noticed that firstboot shows a "Use Network Login..." button on the "System User" screen. When clicked it seems authconfig-gtk is started and not a specific firstlogin screen. What happens when/if a user was to select blowfish in the Authentication tab of authconfig-gtk? Would firstboot be able to blowfish encrypt the password properly with no change or shall I open a feature request there? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 173863 *** @Thomas Bugzilla 173864 was opened against anaconda with an additional question regarding firstboot package see Comment #2 above. It was marked as a duplicate of 173863 which deals with authconfig, a different component. I don't see how 173864 can be a duplicate of 1738643 if they address different components? Do you not think anaconda should be updated? In that case could you please answer the above firstboot component question (Comment #2)? |
