FreeBSD has actually defaulted to MD5 passwords for quite a long time to those of us not within the US. However, installing the US crypto has always forced the usage of DES passwords by default. In order to switch your machine back to DES passwords from MD5 passwords, this is what you need to do: [ commands done one line at a time for clear reading ] # cd /usr/lib # rm libcrypt.a # rm libcrypt.so # rm libcrypt.so.2 # rm libcrypt_p.a # ln -s libdescrypt.a libcrypt.a # ln -s libdescrypt.so libcrypt.so # ln -s libdescrypt.so.2 libcrypt.so.2 # ln -s libdescrypt_p.a libcrypt_p.a That's it. Should you desire to switch BACK to MD5 passwords, just take those above steps and do a s/libdescrypt/libscrypt/g on it. Hope this if of help to you all. * Matt Heckaman - mailto:matt@lucida.qc.ca http://www.lucida.qc.ca/ * * GPG fingerprint - A9BC F3A8 278E 22F2 9BDA BFCF 74C3 2D31 C035 5390 * -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: http://www.lucida.qc.ca/pgp iD8DBQE6GmYXdMMtMcA1U5ARAtp6AJ995uDJnev8k6YaPt8WrP0laJuv+ACgkEAI DZE/qN+NUt8AkAZk2Mu+m/w= =VFbM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
