I checked the current status of Fedora 8.

They now provide <sha256> and <sha512> password hashing.
This is implemented in the glibc crypt routines and works with the standard 
<pam_unix.so> module.
The only change necessary is to replace the <md5> string in the pam config file 
with eigther <sha256> or <sha512>.

They use glibc (2.7) and pam(0.99.8.1). As hardy is already using a glibc 2.7, 
it may be as simple as providing a backport for the pam modules
to get the new password hashes.

I will try that myself and report back.
