Authconfig Vs Authselect

I had the habit to use

authconfig –passalgo=sha512 –update

but in EL8 its not supported anymore.

The authselect-compat package is installed
(and it says “not supported anymore and have no effect).

Whats the equivalent call using the new tool “authselect”?

One thought on - Authconfig Vs Authselect

  • AFAIK, sha512 is default on CentOS8. You can set it in /etc/login.defs.
