Re: useradd -p question
You're one hundred percent correct - MD5 hashed is pretty terrible, the
stack exchange posts with salts and sha512 examples are far more desirable
for certain.

Eeeek! -1 gives MD5 hashed passwords! Don't do that! MD5 is considered
broken and very weak!
There's some Python and Perl examples here which gives SHA512 based
password hashes.

Re: useradd -p question
usermod -p $(openssl passwd -1 ${SOME_TEXT}) ${USERNAME_HERE}
And seemingly useradd would use the same syntax.

useradd -p question
Hi All, Is there a way to add include a new user's password when creating his account with `useradd`. There is a "-p" option, but it requires and "encrypted password". And I have no idea what that would be. I only know his actual password. And including his actual password gets you some unknown password that I have to redo with `passwd` Many thanks, -T
