Can I "move" the live, running system to longer passwords, and how? or is a reinstall necessary?
You want to use pwconv and grpconv to swap your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files to using shadow files. Run "authconfig" and make sure you have selected to use md5 and shadow passwords first.
You can run pwconv/grpconv even if the files have already been converted. j _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
