Have you considered doing something to ease upgrades of systems whose admins chose to enable md5 passwords via passwd's debconf questions? root@dragon:/home/joey>debconf-show passwd |grep md5 * passwd/md5: true If that is set then it would probably be a good idea if services continued to support md5 after the transition. I'm not a pam expert, but maybe /etc/pam.d/other would be changed to include md5 in this case? -- see shy jo
