Depends on what you chose when installing the system. Anyway, it is very easy to identify the type of encryption used. If the passwords are 13 characters long, they are CRYPTED. If they are longer, and begin with the string "$1$" then they are MD5. -- Anand Buddhdev http://anand.org -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
