Thanks for your report. This is happening in pam_unixpassverify.c:create_password_hash. Though, really, 8 characters with 6 bits each means you would have to collect over 16 million password entries to get a >50% likelihood of having even two entries with the same salt, which seems fairly sufficient; and using the full spec maximum of 16 characters moves the 50%-likelihood value 281*10^12 entries which is obviously unnecessary. OTOH it wouldn’t really hurt, so reassigning to PAM for consideration. pam-1.3.1-13.fc29 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 29. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-1cc39ff643 pam-1.3.1-13.fc28 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 28. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-fdece005fe pam-1.3.1-13.fc28 has been pushed to the Fedora 28 testing repository.
