Again. :) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-ports@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi again, people. Things are working fine (haven't done a port yet, btw.... three weeks off starting tomorrow, though, so I'll get it done pretty quickly after that). Apologies if I get a bit off the track of the ports subject here; it would be great to port Spinner to FreeBSD, though. It does appear, though, that Spinner has a rather large dependance on DES encryption for its password and security functions, something which I'm trying to get setup on the local end here. I haven't been able to convince it to work with MD5 crypt (what we're using here) at all.. so I guess what I'm looking for, as a relative newbie, is someone who knows more about such things who's willing to have a look at the software (a WWW server called Spinner with some nice advanced features) and work out how to get it to coexist with md5, or someone who's willing to explain to me how I would go about switching this machine from MD5 to the international des version or whatever. Is this procedure reasonably painless, or should I give up? :) Thanks, -Justin.
