Hi, I'd like to know what passwords FreeBSD uses by default. I have imported a lot of user accounts from a RedHat server and now I got two type of passwords: 1. a password begining with $ 2. and a shorter one (FreeBSD) And the 2 types of accounts works ok. Please tell me if it is possible to convert RedHat passwords to FreeBSD format (MD5 ?) I got this doubt when I have to install qpopper with or without the "enable-specialauth" option that is for systems that uses shadow passwords. Thanks very much, -- Nuno Teixeira Dir.
