4.4-RELEASE release notes.
>Description:
In section "2.3 Userland Changes" of the release notes for
4.4-RELEASE, it says,
libcrypt and libdescrypt have been unified to provide a configurable
password authentication hash library. Both the md5 and des hash
methods are provided unless the des hash is specifically compiled out.
I believe this should be s/libcrypt/libscrypt/. The old libscrypt and
libdescrypt are now combined into a single libcrypt.
(Strictly speaking I would say, s/md5/MD5/ and s/des hash/DES hash/
but those are more style choices.)
>How-To-Repeat:
See,
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.4R/relnotes-i386.html
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.4R/relnotes-alpha.html
>Fix:
Note this in the errata for 4.4-RELEASE.
