Hi!
I changed my password on our NIS server (FreeBSD 4.2-BETA) and
now my password is MD5 instead of DES. This is not good as we
have hosts in our network which don't speak MD5.
Here are the libcrypt links:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13 Nov 2 14:06 libcrypt.a -> libdescrypt.a
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14 Nov 2 14:06 libcrypt.so -> libdescrypt.so
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16 Nov 2 14:06 libcrypt.so.2 -> libdescrypt.so.2
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 15 Nov 2 14:06 libcrypt_p.a -> libdescrypt_p.a
So libcrypt.* are symlinks to the DES variants. This is the output
from "ktrace passwd user":
12356 passwd NAMI "/usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2"
...
Once again, the passwd command should be using the DES variant of the
crypt libraries as expected.
No matter what I do, I get this:
# passwd user
Changing NIS password for user on localhost in domain xxxxx.
New password:
Retype new password:
NIS password has been changed on localhost.
# grep ^user /var/yp/master.passwd
user:$1$v.Pe7YE9$IQ2fKW5/iYAF8K44FJTmF/:1000:1000::0:0:User Name:/home/user:/bin/bash
So the password is MD5 instead of DES! What am I doing wrong?
Please CC: me with the answer as I'm not on this list.
Thanks in advance,
Martti Kuparinen
