will prompt you (again) for whether or not to enable md5 passwords.
I /think/ answer to that question affects how /etc/login.defs and/or
/etc/pam.d/{login,passwd} are created/modified.
| 2. hwconf - shows what hardware is in place
I don't think there is an equivalent. What functionality do you need
out of this? The 'lspci' command will list the PCI devices. Other
hardware info, as seen by the kernel, can be found in /proc. There
are probably other sources of information, depending on what you are
looking for.
| 3. init - toggle boot/shotdown text style (color or not)
Debian's init scripts have no color. If that's all this file does
then there is no equivalent.
| 4. syslog - syslog configuration including syslogd options
/etc/syslog.conf

That's good.
