Fix Recommendation

Edit /etc/security/policy.conf and add or change the CRYPT_DEFAULT setting to something other than __unix__, such as 6. Allowable values for CRYPT_DEFAULT may be found in the /etc/security/crypt.conf file.

Change any passwords using non-compliant hashes.

Check Contents

Verify no password hash in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow begins with a character other than an underscore (_) or dollar sign ($).

# cut -d ':' -f2 /etc/passwd | egrep -v '^[*!$_]'
# cut -d ':' -f2 /etc/shadow | egrep -v '^[*!$_]'

If any unlocked password hash is present without an initial underscore (_) or dollar sign ($) character, this is a finding.
