Description Petr Šplíchal 2010-02-15 14:59:01 UTC
Description of problem:

If /etc/pam.d/system-auth contains md5 as the hash algorithm but
/etc/login.defs specifies "ENCRYPT_METHOD SHA512", calling the:

    authconfig --update --enablemd5

will leave the ENCRYPT_METHOD value in login.defs untouched. This
can cause some tools from the shadow-utils package to behave in an
unexpected way.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
authconfig-6.0.2-1.el6.x86_64
