Ok, not sure if my post even made it to the list but found this on the -current changes, probably explains it, I'll give it a try:
- Added missing capability to handle new $2b version of blowfish(3) password encryption for usermod(8) and friends. Should have looked into this before posting. I was just staring at the man page and thinking, this is how it works... but it doesn't.

Same works on 5.3. Why, any ideas? # uname -a OpenBSD host 5.3 GENERIC#53 amd64 # PASS=$(echo Testing123 | encrypt -b 8) # echo $PASS $2a$08$ZfDcVFG2OiL.KT.MRstLVuBwPbIyl9qfw6e7Qdkl8dAeQomYKL8Me # useradd -p $PASS -m testtest # userdel testtest # # uname -a OpenBSD host 5.6 GENERIC#310 amd64 # PASS=$(echo Testing123 | encrypt -b 8) # echo $PASS $2b$08$VqyC1rcbQZJh2VmmLN4wt.BGKn/Jvb97jWj4EhUnKlzQe55lgReBq # useradd -p $PASS -m testtest useradd: Password `$2b$08$VqyC1rcbQZJh2VmmLN4wt.BGKn/Jvb97jWj4EhUnKlzQe55lgReBq' is invalid: setting it to `*************' # userdel testtest # I have tried all sorts of quote combination as well as running this from scripts and from the shell prompt. Always the same outcome. Br, Tuomas.
