Heiko,

our current "login" apparently ignores /etc/login.defs. We can replace it by 
binary from the last util-linux (from the description - it should use 
/etc/login.defs AND use pam), but it's a bit more "serious" change. I checked on 
my systems that this modification is enough to start using sha512 (and it 
doesn't break old md5 hashes of course).

So, we don't need to change /etc/login.defs , but we can :)
And actually you are right  - it's better to keep the system settings consistent.

Serge
