   Research so far would indicate several files would have to be changed   
   and you would have to know the id of the hash function desired.   
      
   For the curious, as root, try   
    grep -R 2a /etc/pam.d/*   
   That assumes Mandriva 2011.x or Mageia 2   
      
   Anyone know about a pam management tool?  :(
