In a somewhat recently updated RELENG_6 FreeBSD, whenever I run the program /usr/bin/passwd to change an users password, it encrypts the password using DES. I have already configured /etc/login.conf for MD5, but it still goes with DES: *$ grep passwd /etc/login.conf :passwd_format=md5:\ # :passwd_format=des:\ $* What could I be doing wrong? If that matters, this system has been receiving system and /etc upgrades since Sep/2003. Maybe some old configuration has been left around...
