Hi

What do you think?

I have modified the DES crypt(3) to do an MD5 (exportable-style
"encryption" if the first three characters are "$1$". (Someone (PHK?)
gave me the idea _ages_ ago.) This will allow folks to upgrade their
machines to DES encryption without having to fix all the user passwords
in master.passwd.

If you want to test it - I'll give you a copy. I am testing it myself,
and will commit it in a day or two if no-one objects?

M
