Performance Related Information

 

If the directory does not contain passwords

 

 

encrypted using the SHA password storage

 

 

scheme, this plug-in can be turned off. SHA is

 

 

only included for compatibility with earlier

 

 

releases; Red Hat recommends use SSHA

 

 

rather than SHA because SSHA is a far more

 

 

secure option.
