The adduser perl script uses Perl's crypt() function, which is implemented via crypt(3). Since the salt that is provided to the crypt() call doesn't explicitly specify which algorithm to use (man crypt(3) for details), the crypt() function call defaults to DES. If you use passwd() to change the user's password after creating the account, the new password will be md5, or whatever you've specified in /etc/login.conf. Could you open a PR for this bug? adduser should use the password format in /etc/login.conf. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
