To support apache with frontpage2000 extensions I had to symlink libcrypt to libdescrypt: root(117)# ls -l libcrypt* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13 Jan 4 12:03 libcrypt.a -> libdescrypt.a lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13 Jan 4 12:10 libcrypt.so -> libcrypt.so.2 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16 Jan 4 12:09 libcrypt.so.2 -> libdescrypt.so.2 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 15 Oct 1 03:32 libcrypt_p.a -> libdescrypt_p.a As explained in section 8.4 of the handbook (cvsupped recently), DES libraries are able to use MD5 passwords, but use DES passwords by default, unless the 'passwd_format' capability in /etc/login.conf is set to md5. This system is FreeBSD 3.5-STABLE and the passwd_format capability is not mentioned in login.conf(5) man page. How do I set the password format to MD5? If I create a new user, put $1$ in the 2nd field of /etc/master.passwd and then use passwd to change the password, that will do the trick?
