Description

 Mac OS X Server contains a flaw that may allow an administrator to believe he changed the authentication type from crypt to ShadowHash passwords, when the change does not actually happen. The issue is triggered when Workgroup Manager indicates that it is possible to make the change through its interface, though it is not. It is possible that the flaw may allow administrators to use a different authentication type than they actually intend resulting in a loss of integrity..
