I understand SunOS uses DES password encryption and FreeBSD uses MD5. Is it possible to get FreeBSD to read the DES passwords AND ALSO when they change password to store it in MD5 format. I installed the DES encryption but when I change the password it keeps it in DES format. I know Redhat 6.0 reads DES password but any new accounts or password changes is stored in MD5. I would like to get my FreeBSD box to do the same. Anyone have any ideas? regards Ray -- Reynoldus Lamuri Email: ray.lamuri@ntu.edu.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
