Description of problem: This bug is opened in relation to a feature request for support of blowfish crypt in shadow/passwd files. authconfig and authconfig-gtk should allow for selection of blowfish in addition fo md5 and regular unix crypt. Cf: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=173002
For kickstart files to support blowfish, authconfig should add support for a new option: --enableblowfish

Blowfish will not be supported. The new sha256 and sha512 algorithms are supported in authconfig-5.3.19-1.fc9 in rawhide.
