Hello, I've changed the default algorithm to be used with password hashing from __unix__ to md5 in /etc/security/policy.conf. In order to change the root password I had to reset it to an empty field in shadow and then run passwd to put the new md5 password. The default behavior is to detect the algorith used in the old password and apply the same in the new one. I don't know if this a feature or a bug.
That is the correct behaviour. See: http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/817-0365/6mg5vpmbf?q=CRYPT_DEFAULT&a=view
The password is accepted by sshd and it works sweet :) Nevertheless /usr/sadm/bin/smpatch does not accept the md5 password. If I change back to the crypt() password everything is ok.
This is a known bug: 4760846 -- Darren J Moffat
