In my ks.cfg files I encrypt the root password using `grub-md5-crypt` According to the below article I an use sha512 How can I encrypt the password using sha? What version of Red Hat is Rawhide? Tips and tricks: Choosing the password hashing algorithm for /etc/shadow during installation by Alexander Todorov This is a new feature that has been requested in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux product line. The supported algorithms are DES, MD5, and SHA-256/512. They will be available after the upcoming updates releases as well as in Rawhide. The new algorithms will be configurable via Kickstart only. Here is the correct code. DES authconfig --enableshadow --passalgo=descrypt rootpw fedora MD5 authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 rootpw fedora or authconfig --enableshadow --passalgo=md5 rootpw fedora SHA-256 authconfig --enableshadow --passalgo=sha256 rootpw fedora SHA-512 authconfig --enableshadow --passalgo=sha512 rootpw fedora

The article you quoted tells you how to do that.... authconfig --enableshadow --passalgo=sha512 What version of Red Hat is Rawhide? Rawhide isn't a specific version, it's an automatically built distribution of whatever the latest versions of all the packages are in the source repository. It's intended for use by developers doing testing and it is frequently broken or unstable. What the comment means is that if you want it now you have to get it from Rawhide and hope you can make it work, otherwise you have to wait until the next release, which will include these changes.
