Description of problem: This bug is opened in relation to a feature request for support of blowfish crypt in shadow/passwd files. Kickstart files should allow a new option to be selected for password encryption. Maybe in the form of: auth --enableblowfish Cf: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=173002
anaconda now just passes arguments directly to authconfig without any need for understanding them.
