as per my last message, i discovered that an entry of: :passwd_format=des: in /etc/login.conf will reset the crypts back to DES. note: passwd_format is not documented anywhere close to adequately to inform people of its function. also, is the new default for FreeBSD going to be MD5? if so, a note should be made somewhere. -- [ Jim Mercer [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1 416 410-5633 ] [ Reptilian Research -- Longer Life through Colder Blood ] [ Don't be fooled by cheap Finnish imitations; BSD is the One True Code. ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
