Hi, here’s the trick again, before I forget it:
# $EDITOR /etc/pam.d/common-password Search the line: password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so obscure sha512 Change the sha512 to md5. Save and exit the editor, then run “passwd root” and set a new password (or the same one). Read 「man 3 crypt」, too. bye, //mirabilos -- [...] if maybe ext3fs wasn't a better pick, or jfs, or maybe reiserfs, oh but what about xfs, and if only i had waited until reiser4 was ready... in the be- ginning, there was ffs, and in the middle, there was ffs, and at the end, there was still ffs, and the sys admins knew it was good. :) -- Ted Unangst über *fs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
