I know I didn't. Blowfish is stronger but I'm settled with sha512 rather than building a library and fixing any possible fallout in the future. Maybe I missed giving a piece of info. The default password is DES which is really crap and starts with $1 so simply enabling blowfish in /etc/default/passwd has enabled SHA512, you'd expect to uncomment SHA512 not blowfish. It seems for sha512 you don't have to do as much as the wiki suggests anymore.
