while going through the freebsd handbook, i found that one can set which type of encryption to use for new passwords by editing passwd_format variable in /etc/login.conf file. My question there is no passwd_format variable in my machine but it uses md5 to encrypt the new passwords (saw $ in the master.passwd file) but the libraries used are des. So without passwd_format variable, how is this happening?? Am i missing something which i should have known before asking this question thanks manas __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
