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?
