John/Garret, thanks but the hash-type isn't specific to os&release, it is manually defined/altered by the sysadmin.
Does that help any? To be more detailed, I might have something like the following: CentOS-6.X. 12 nodes all hash=sha-512, Solaris 10u6 13 nodes all hash=bsdmd5, but... Solaris 10u6 4 nodes all hash=sha-512, AND Solaris 10u11 8 nodes all hash=bsdbf, but... Solaris 10u11 3 nodes all hash=sha-512. I can see where you might say, then patch and augment all up to Solaris 10u11 with hash=sha-512; I work in a secured VERY BUSY environment so it's not quite that simple.
