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).
