Hello, I'm curious: I have a few systems running with md5 crypt. Now I need to sync their passwords with some other unix dialect using NIS, and I suppose I need des crypted passwords for this to work smoothly (work at all, actually?), since that is what most other dialects use. I've read that if I install des "on top of" md5, old md5 passwords are recognized, but new ones are crypted with des (once the user changes the pw). When was this code checked into stable (about?), i.e. how old systems have this functionality? Also, my real question is this: is this part of libdescrypt? That is, will it work this way for all apps using crypt, or just for passwords? Do I need to recompile all apps using crypt, or will libc be sufficient? If the previous, have you any tips on how to find out which apps (read ports) that uses libcrypt, besides manually checking each port? /Palle To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
