Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I am relatively new to encryption with passwords and I am in the process of switching from a BSDi 4.1 machine to a FreeBSD 4.2 stable. I want to transfer the password list over but I need compatibility for +8 character passwords. Do you have any ideas. As far as I know, The BSDi machine is running with DES encryption and I dread the thought of reentering, by hand, all 2k user names and passwords.
