O, that's nice: I haven't knew about that.Since I do like Blowfish I thought that there are only 2 possibilities in Free: crypto or md5. But the main problem is that passwd_format in my login.conf for default user (and new users were appended to that class) is and was "md5". But password encoding for new accounts was "des". When I added line "auth_default=md5" and changed passwords for those accounts by passwd then encoding format changed to md5. So: _without my knowledge_ passwords for new accounts were 8 characters long. On Thu, Sep 26, 2002 at 10:04:37AM +0200, Todor Genov wrote: > > You're going to want to do 2 things.
