Wouldn't that cause lots of messages to be logged about failed login attempts? I was talking about the case where no one can get the encrypted passwords. I do suppose this assumes that all the programs that do login verification do syslogs failures... I agree that MD5 is better when the possibility of disclosure of the encrypted passwords exists...
