About theonly thing you can do is link against our `scrypt' library and hack the source code so that Apache & htpasswd will take the longer passwords (most s/w BROKENLY assumes that you WILL use a DES password, which is 13 characters long, which is a pity as the scrypt password (based on the MD5 algorithym) are a lot longer (somewhere about 64 characters long I think)...) Sorry I can't help more, most people just install DES, but that isn't an option for you :-( Perhaps if you ask on ports@freebsd.org you may find someone who has done the necessary hacking. > E-Mail: fmtel@micronet.fr ^^ (other people who have replied, note his domain ... you are not allowed to posses crypto code in France (and you though the American ITAR regulations were bad :-) ) Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
