[Linux-disciples] Re: Converting to DES passwords

[Stephen R Laniel]

I'm getting the sense that there's no good way to convert
from MD5 to DES, given that the passwords are stored using
one-way hashes. For the small installation I'm working on,
that's okay: I could recreate each user's password with DES.

So: how do I force *new* passwords to be stored as DES
rather than MD5?
