Mandrake Linux 8.1 Password/Account Vulnerability Problem:
A vulnerability exists within Mandrakesoft's Mandrake Linux v. 8.1 (and possibly other versions) where any accounts created after the initial install of the O/S do not have MD5 encrypted passwords. This also affects any account passwords that are changed after the initial install. This could result in a system that is less secure than what would be ideal.
