Hi, patch files in the attachments are produced when building libpam
within OpenWrt. Not long ago, OpenWrt switched to musl as the default
libc which is relatively and different from other implementations, e.g.
crypt() function is part of musl-libc itself, many old functions are
dropped from the implementation, etc.

Raise salt length for the sha2 password hashes
by Tomas Mraz
Hello,
currently pam_unix hardcodes the new salt length when password is
changed to be 8 characters - this makes it due to the limitation to 64
only possible characters to be 48 bits long. This is slightly lower than
can be considered as long enough for any paranoid. I propose to make it
12 characters which should satisfy any paranoid person as rainbow tables
of 2^72 hashes for each tested password can hardly be created in the
foreseeable future.
Or do you think that the current salt length should be sufficient and
stay as is?
