However, adduser > still uses DES. How can I force adduser to use blowfish? You could try checking /etc/adduser.conf perhaps there's an option in there to specify the password hashing method. I have a feeling it doesn't support other password hashing methods for some reason, but I may be wrong. Instead you may want to use the 'pw' utility: pw adduser which I believe adheres to the password hashing method you specify for the system. -- Jez http://www.munk.nu/
