The problem still exists and there is no way to use better password security than md5 in gutsy with working screensavers. (also in hardy and debian sid/experimental)
There has been some activity in fedora, and I think they have implemented sha256 in glibc, but this is still not usable with the normal userland tools (passwd, etc), but maybe I'm wrong :) (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=173002) It would be great, if the next (or hardy+1) version would come with some adequate hashing algorithm, as the password is now used for many things beside usual login (think gnome-keyring, pam_mount with encrypted drives, etc) -- gnome-screensaver does not work with pam_unix2.so https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89881 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
