If Blowfish is the only impediment in switching, then the answer is ``yes, it's supported''. From the manpage of login.conf(5) I quote: | passwd_format string md5 The encryption format that new or | changed passwords will use. Valid | values include "des", "md5" and | "blf". NIS clients using a | non-FreeBSD NIS server should prob- | ably use "des". Of course, the question that arises from a thought of switching to FreeBSD (mind you, at times I enjoy being a raving FreeBSD lunatic), is: Why are you going to change your operating system? If it isn't broken, why `fix' it? Even if it *is* broken, are you sure FreeBSD is not broken too? -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
