Fedora software should not use the MD2 hashing algorithm for security
reasons. It's also *extremely* slow, making it a poor choice for any
applications, basically. Why does UROnode need it?
It is application for amateur radio, so both security/speed is not an
issue here; users, licensed hams, are aware of it.
I will probably propose patch adding support for SHA-1 or anything else,
maybe HOTP/TOTP based sysop auth, but upstream will probably not drop the MD2
support due to backward compatibility
