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,
