I'm moving users from a legacy FreeBSD server to
one of Redhat 5.3  On the FreeBSD machine, the passwords
are encrypted in blowfish.  In what I'm reading, there
is support for blowfish in a package called pam_unix2
available on Debian and Suse but not Redhat.
DAG's RPM repository also has nothing.

Has anyone encountered a solution to support blowfish
passwords on Redhat?  Just pam support is sufficient,
don't need to have passwd command generate the
encryption.

I found this disheartening fedora bug report:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443898

Why doesn't Redhat compete with Suse and Debian for
this flexibility?
