They are also created to prevent over-writing configuration files that may have been changed by the administrator of the system. If you did a "diff" on those files you'd find out that the lines: # Use MD5 or DES to encrypt password? Red Hat use MD5 by default. MD5_CRYPT_ENAB no were removed. If you had made changes to the original login.defs file you can make the changes to login.defs.rpmnew and replace the original login.defs with it. If you didn't make any changes you can simply replace the login.defs with login.defs.rpmnew. FWIW, typing "howto handle rpmnew files" as a google search would have found several articles to read.... -- His mind is like a steel trap: full of mice. -- Foghorn Leghorn Guess Who! http://tinyurl.com/mc4xe7
