If you are using a Red Hat distribution of Linux, then you are almost
certainly using PAM. You need to look into your /etc/pam directory to
find what authentication it is requiring.
What kind of password encryption? Look in your /etc/shadow file. How
long are the encrypted passwords? 13 is the current Unix standard. Is
it longer than that? Probably MD5-encrypted.
What should you be using? Linux is a good start, but it gives you SO
MANY security options. I would suggest looking in a Linux forum for
more details on the possibilities.
