Hello all, Is there any chance that kern/124164 [1] could be looked at? The = included patch has been updated by KIMURA Yasuhiro for 8.1R, and so = hopefully would be okay for 8.3R (and maybe even -CURRENT). The functionality would be very helpful for NIS- and LDAP-based = environments, as Linux and even Solaris support these newer algorithms, = and so when they do a (yp)passwd the new hashes are often used which = cause interoperability issues=97not to mention the usefulness of of = stronger hashes. :) Thanks for any info (and please CC, as I'm not subscribed).
