Description of problem: # /usr/sbin/authconfig --passalgo=sha512 --update # grep crypt_style /etc/libuser.conf Actual results: crypt_style = md5 Expected results: crypt_style = sha512 Additional info: # rpm -qf /usr/sbin/authconfig authconfig-6.1.7-2.fc14.x86_64
It would work if you passed --updateall or if you switched to sha256 first and then to sha512. There is a problem with syncing configuration files if some of them already contain the requested value. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 565521 ***
