Re: [CentOS] Enabling MD5 (longer passwords) after installation?

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



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.
