Hi,

while you're at it, there is another bug in that small perl
function: do_get_use_md5() recurses when it encounters an
'@include' line and overwrites its $use_md5 variable with
the result. Therefore the following /etc/pam.d/passwd would
make the function return 0:

required	pam_unix.so md5
@include	empty_file


Regards,

Jan
