OpenBSD passwd

is there anyway that i can use OpenBSD's way of passwding and such in my linux distro, a blowfish based passwd encryption does sound sweet.
id rather be on fire then use windoze

x86, a hack on a hack of a hack
alpha, the compaqed way
ppc, the fruity way
mips, the graphical way
m68k, the NeXT way
sparc, the reliable way

Search for info on "pam".  There are many ways you can manipulate authentication.

or if i could get it to compile, would using OpenBSD's version of the shadow suite be good enough

Linux already does shadow passwords.

after you install the shadowsuite. from what i have heard, OpenBSD uses blowfish instead of md5, which i think would be cool for bragging rights of great encryption/*ive already installed openssl*/
