I think it's just controlled by which library the libcrypt symbolic link points to. I have both DES and MD5 on my machine, but passwords are generated with MD5. $ ls -l /usr/lib/lib*crypt* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root bin 11 May 12 1997 /usr/lib/libcrypt.a -> libscrypt.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root bin 16 May 12 1997 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0 -> libscrypt.so.2.0 -r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 10706 Apr 10 13:02 /usr/lib/libdescrypt.a -r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 16698 Apr 10 13:02 /usr/lib/libdescrypt.so.2.0 -r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 4560 Dec 20 09:33 /usr/lib/libscrypt.a -r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 12579 Dec 20 09:33 /usr/lib/libscrypt.so.2.0 (libscrypt is the MD5 library, libdescrypt is of course the DES library.) -- Matthew Hunt <mph@pobox.com> * Stay close to the Vorlon. http://mph124.rh.psu.edu/~mph/pgp.key for PGP public key 0x67203349.
