It defaults to MD5. Hrrmm... well, Peter W. took the time to beat the reality of the situation into me, and I think I have an understanding of it now. If I understand it correctly the new default if you compile with src/secure in your tree is going to be the equivalent of having libcrypt.* -> libdescrypt.* always, with the current ability to grok MD5, and return MD5 by default if fed an MD5 salt built in. Assuming I understand this correctly, I withdraw my objection, and thanks to Peter for taking the time to 'splain it. Doug -- So what I want to know is, where does the RED brick road go?
