>Description:
crypt_get_format() return des everytime ...
and it's the same if I put :passwd_format=md5:\ in login.conf.
So it seems I have the inverse problem of the errata for 4.2.
(Using crypt_set_format("md5"); works so I can generate md5 password ...) but doesn't seems to be my default.
,
Something strange if I run ls /usr/lib/libcrypt.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel - 14 Nov 23 20:02 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so@ -> libdescrypt.so
Why is this file is linked to des, if 4.2 is md5 enable by default ??
Handbooks says:
If you have installed the DES-capable crypt library libdescrypt (e.g. by installing the "crypto" distribution), then which password format will be used for new passwords is controlled by the ``passwd_format'' login
capability in /etc/login.conf, which takes values of either ``des'' or ``md5''. See the login.conf(5) manpage for more information about login capabilities.
This doesn't works.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just install with crypto to have ssh...
This bug seems to be a problem in installation, choosing crypto at install
seems to link libdescrypt by default (this was normal in old freebsd installation but shouldn't now) , which is not said when installing, and breaks all the mechanism
gived by login.conf to switch to another crypt mode.
>Fix:
none except manually link to the others libraries .
