Hi all,

if some people is interested, I uploaded to

ftp://ftp.f6fbb.org/pub/f6fbb/distrib/fpac-linux/login/md5login.tgz

a small package including login and rmdlogin giving a login/rlogin with md5
password authentication.

login replaces the original /bin/login and requests an usual password and/or
the md5 key if the user is declared in /etc/mdpasswd

rmdlogin is the equivalent of rlogin and automatically answers to the md5
request using the host+user+password given in /etc/mdpasswd.
