Thank you for this new version! However there are 2 problems with SHA password hashes: - they are not documented in the pam_unix manpage. Fortunately, they are documented in /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/html/sag-pam_unix.html. - they do not work. I replaced "md5" with "sha512" in /etc/pam.d/common-password, ran "passwd SOME_ACCOUNT" as root and checked /etc/shadow. The hashed password looks like an old DES hash. Same problem with sha256. Therefore I am going to reopen this bug... -- Laurent Bonnaud. http://www.lis.inpg.fr/pages_perso/bonnaud/
