A buddy was doing an install of 8.1b2 and noticed that the choice to use or 
not use md5 passwords was no longer available. (He has a 7.2 application 
server and will upgrade to 8.1 when it's out. He saw me do a demo install for 
8.1b2 at the LUG meetings and wanted to see what other improvements were 
there for him, other than the newer kernel version he needs. In his 
multi-platform work environment (SCO and Linux), he can't use md5 passwords 
because SCO can't use them when the password files are shared.

He was able to comment out a line in one of the PAM config files to eliminate 
md5 passwords, but having the choice in the install would be better. Could 
you put it back in?

Thanks,

Hoyt
