Thus spake Marek Florianczyk (franki@mentat.oko.com.pl): > How to check what method my server use for password coding. Have a look at the libcrypt* symlinks in /usr/lib. If they point to libdescrypt*, you're using DES. If they point to libscrypt*, you're using MD5. This also means you can change what the symlinks point to in order to change from DES to MD5, for example. I believe the DES wrapper libs can also check MD5 passwords. You can also tell by the format of the encrypted passwords. Passwords beginning with '$1$' are MD5 encrypted. > And if it is des, what is the length of key it uses. Not sure on this one. Nick. -- From a Sun Microsystems bug report (#4102680): "Workaround: don't pound on the mouse like a wild monkey."
