I don't think that should be invented a new password config file as in OpenBSD. We already have a general config file: /etc/login.conf. Two new field should be added: localcipher, ypcipher. And should be integrated the new FreeSEC??? (bye the way where it is available?) for the blowfish encryption too. Is anybody to add it into the current lib tree?
