These passwords work fine using this encryption method on Linux, Solaris and Windows but when I use it on FreeBSD, the crypt call encrypts using md5. Why has the standard crypt call been changed? I know I can switch to libdes and it works, but then I lose long passwords in my master.passwd file as md5 is no longer used during changing of passwords. Anyone got a solution which allows me to: * have the C crypt call use standard encryption as on other unix platforms * have apache read my .htaccess passwords as on Linux/Solaris * have perl return the normal crypt responce when I use the crypt call * use md5 passwords on my master.passwd file? The reason I ask is because RedHat Linux does it so I am confident it can also be done with FreeBSD. from, Matthew Enger menger@kgv.edu.hk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
