[NBLUG/talk] Do/Don't enable md5 passwords

[Rob Orsini]

Yo,

I was reading through this guys "Perfect Debian" setup HOWTO here:

http://www.projektfarm.com/en/support/debian_setup/index.html

where he runs through all the install steps... bla bla bla.  My question
is this:  Why does he recommend not using MD5 passwords?  Until
reading this, I always though that selecting that option during a linux
install was a default yes but now I wonder if there are other issues
I'm not considering.

Thanks,
Rob
