Valid values include "des", "md5" and "blf". NIS clients using a non-FreeBSD NIS server should prob- ably use "des". ...where 'blf' stands for Blowfish. Make sure you run 'cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf' after you edit the file. BTW, I'm not sure when this was introduced; the machine I'm getting this info from is a 4.4-STABLE machine from mid-October.
