Hi, I just read about
https://archlinux.org/news/sorting-out- … rd-hashes/
I checked my shadow file and my accounts all start with $6$ which should mean it uses sha512, right?
Is it still supported?
And if I find something that it is not and i change the password before updating (i'm thinking to remote servers which could be problematic), will it change the hash to something still supported?
Thanks.

Right.

Hopefully. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1#Com … _functions - I'm not even sure whether passwd supports keccak "somehow" atm. but
It can take one of these values: DES (default), MD5, SHA256, SHA512

Thanks,
i should be safe then.

A few more password encryption methods are supported depending on how you specify the option.
Using the ENCRYPT_METHOD in /etc/login.defs MD5 SHA256 SHA512 BCRYPT.
If specified directly to pam_unix all the above md5 (MD5) sha256 (SHA256) sha512 (SHA512) blowfish (BCRYPT) plus bigcrypt gost_yescrypt yescrypt.
Edit:
No Keccak (SHA3) or Argon2 support.
