Package: passwd Version: 1:4.0.3-31sarge1 Severity: minor
"man 5 passwd" produces documentation that is not entirely accurate. The second paragraph contains the following text:- "The encryped password consists of 13 characters from the 64 character alphabet a thru z, A thru Z, 0 thru 9, . and /. Refer to crypt(3) for details on how this string is interpreted." This information is clearly incorrect when the system is set to use MD5 passwords, which is increasingly the case. There's also a typo in "encrypted".
