no problem at all... as long as you install the DES cipher. my system is using the MD5 cipher - little more secure than DES. See the follwing. bash-2.03$ ls -l /usr/lib/libcrypt* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 11 Jan 31 09:39 /usr/lib/libcrypt.a -> libscrypt.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 12 Jan 31 09:39 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so -> libscrypt.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 14 Jan 31 09:39 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2 -> libscrypt.so.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 13 Jan 31 09:40 /usr/lib/libcrypt_p.a -> libscrypt_p.a bash-2.03$ Now you will see a system running the DES cipher. This is what you would want for backward compatibility. bash-2.03$ ls -l /usr/lib/libcrypt* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 11 Jan 31 09:39 /usr/lib/libcrypt.a -> libdescrypt.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 12 Jan 31 09:39 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so -> libdescrypt.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 14 Jan 31 09:39 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2 -> libdescrypt.so.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 13 Jan 31 09:40 /usr/lib/libcrypt_p.a -> libdescrypt_p.a bash-2.03$ Dominik Brettnacher wrote: > On Thu, 3 Feb 2000, scriber@web2000.ru wrote: > > > excuse me for this very outdated question, I now it was > > discussed few months ago, but the freebsd mail archive is > > down now and I need an urgent reply: > > Is there any way to port passwords database from 2.2.8 to > > 3.x? > > I think this should not be a problem. > > -- > Dominik - http://www.saargate.de/~domi/ > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
