Description of problem: /usr/share/doc/syslinux-3.36/README.menu says 'use the included Perl script "sha1pass" to encrypt passwords'. The script is not included in the rpm. A quick search gives no hint of which tool could be used instead. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): syslinux-3.36-4.fc7
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported during the development of Fedora 8. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are changing the version of this bug to '8'. If this bug still exists in rawhide, please change the version back to rawhide. (If you're unable to change the bug's version, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help and we apologize for the interruption. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Problem remains in syslinux-3.36-7.fc8
It seems to have been fixed in syslinux-3.61-2 for F9. But the fix creates conflicts in the spec, so it isn't obvious if it is intended or accidentially: %files ... %{_bindir}/* ... %{_bindir}/ppmtolss16 %{_bindir}/lss16toppm %{_bindir}/gethostip
pjones can you advise re comment#3 ? thanks
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
If md5pass is included intentionally then the package needs an dependency to perl-Crypt-PasswdMD5.
