Cloud image user passwords encrypted by md5 by default?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I've been playing with the Fedora 22 cloud spin and turned off
cloud-init so that I have the default cloud package layout. I noticed
that /etc/login.defs is set to
ENCRYPT_METHOD MD5
similarly /etc/libuser.conf has
crypt_style = md5

The regular Fedora 22 default for password encryption seems to be
SHA512 but I couldn't turn anything up as to why cloud images had made
this change. Could some explain why MD5 is used?
