I don't know exactely, maybe less than ten years (it's not only md5).

I don't have shell users at all, because I try to keep my system
uncompromised. Also on the old system, where the authentication was
based on /etc/passwd, all my users have a wanderfull /bin/true or
/bin/false shell.
I want to take the users of my old system and put them on the new SOGo
one, with postgres authentication. To do that I need that their password
stay the same from the old to the new one, but I don't know them, I can
only use the second field of /etc/shadow.

I don't know. I'm not an expert, but the server is in a DMZ and I think
that maybe local authentication could be better.

Thx and regards,
