OpenBSD just committed a new encryption method using blowfish. This has a much larger salt space as well as a much harder to break encryption scheme. Preliminary indications are that it looks really good. They implemented this much like md5, but with its own code. I think we should bring this into FreeBSD. What do others think? Warner
