Thanks FreeBSD\' Gurus: Thanks, so now I understand why FreeBSD is powerful. Now, the next one question is: In Perl there are the function crypt($word, $salt), that encrypt the one \"word\" using a \"salt\" to create encrypt password, that in Solaris 2.X is generally put on the file /etc/shadow. How I can do the same in FreeBSD?
