Can blowfish encryption be used as the password hashing algorithm in Red Hat Enterprise Linux?
Issue
-
I would like to migrate a blowfish encrypted /etc/passwd from another distribution to RHEL. Is this possible?
-
NIS server algorithm is changed from MD5 to blowfish on the NIS Server. NIS server is not RHEL. Now, RHEL NIS client is not able to authenticate via blowfish algorithm.
-
Can we enable BlowFish instead of MD5 in RHEL 5?
