In the process of replacing an el5 server, I have installed el6 and scripted the creation of the users. That worked flawlessly. I then imported all the md5 encrypted passwords, and users cannot log in. I see that the new default encryption is sha512, but I thought that only applied to creating new passwords and not the decryption of existing passwords.
A couple of hours of reading man pages and Internet searches has left me clueless. Is there a way to keep sha512 as the default and to enable usage of md5 in addition to sha512?
