Casey, the vlock on my system doesn't complain, and seems to work well, with md5 passwords. Or, at least, it appears to be using md5 passwords.. sarnold:$1$lT7B7sqwertyZqwerty7ugERcHODR90:11463:0:99999:7::: $ vlock --version vlock version 1.3 If you want to try bodging our source-rpm into something you can use, (rpm -i to install the src.rpm, look at the src/redhat/SOURCES/*tar* files to find the 'pristine' sources, then vendor patches, if any, are also in src/redhat/SOURCES/), the .src.rpm can be found here: http://download.immunix.org/ImmunixOS/7.0/i386/SRPMS/vlock-1.3-5_imnx.src.rpm Cheers! -- The Bill of Rights: 7 out of 10 rights haven't been sold yet!
