No cookie! Please fix this ASAP, Brian. so, is the intention to have FreeBSD default to md5? or will there be a modification to move things back to des? the reason i ask, is that if people cvsup without seeing or noticing this, they may not realize until too late that the new passwords are md5. anyone using nis with non-freebsd systems might get really upset. especially if they end up chasing around trying to figure out what they "broke" to change the behaviour. -- [ Jim Mercer jim@reptiles.org +1 416 410-5633 ] [ Reptilian Research -- Longer Life through Colder Blood ] [ Don't be fooled by cheap Finnish imitations; BSD is the One True Code. ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
