I was thinking about suggesting a similar PAM module to convert existing hashes, but I suspect that we'd be coming up against some issues with security policy and separation of actions. Right now, I expect that SELinux permits PAM processes to have read-only access to /etc/shadow, but such a change would necessitate read/write access, which is riskier. It's also why PAM has separate activities for authentication, authorization and password-change.
Surely it has to allow write as well because any authentication can already prompt for a password change if the password is expired?
