Package: salt-minion Version: 2016.3.2+ds-1 A default installation of salt-minion writes messages like this to syslog:
Oct 2 19:33:02 mymachine salt-minion[1717]: [WARNING ] IMPORTANT: Do not use md5 hashing algorithm! Please set "hash_type" to sha256 in Salt Minion config! So one might wonder why is this just not the default for new installs. The following github issue may be related to this: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/32460 so maybe this is already fixed upstream, but it's very annoying and it would be very nice to see this fixed in the Debian package as well. Thanks.
