I have a question: Do anybody have ideas to add 'default crypting mode' for utilities like passwd, adduser, etc ? I am not very happy to add new user with adduser, then to edit manualy /etc/passwd adding $1$xxx$xx to password, then lanch passwd to change password for user. In a reality passwd uses old password as salt for new password, but if there was no old password or it was '*' - new password is crypted with DES :( -- TSB Russian Express, Moscow Vladimir B.
