Change password hashing from MD5 to SHA-512.
but in chapter06/shadow.html
Instead of using the default crypt method, use the more secure MD5
method of password encryption, which also allows passwords longer than
8 characters. It is also necessary to change the obsolete
/var/spool/mail location for user mailboxes that Shadow uses by
default to the /var/mail location used currently:
while
sed -i -e 's@#ENCRYPT_METHOD DES@ENCRYPT_METHOD SHA512@' \
-e 's@/var/spool/mail@/var/mail@' etc/login.defs
