This means that the program cannot be used with MD5 passwords. The fact that nobody has noticed is probably indicative of how much use this program sees (ie: none) and therefore the necessary API/ABI changes should not give rise to trouble. I would suggest reading the salt and password from each their own line, that would solve the problem once and for all since niether can contain newlines. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
