IIRC, by default it has a line: > :passwd_format=md5:\ > Which should be changed to > :passwd_format=des:\ This suggestion as well as your other with regard to auth.conf seems to only change the encryption method of newly created passwords. On my systems I already have different passwords, ancient DES-encrypted ones and new MD5 ones, which is the method that will be chosen by default nowadays. The problem is, that I was quite happily using both methods until two weeks ago, when DES-encrypted accounts didn't allow logins anymore. I'm just building a new world at the moment. I will post again, to announce if the problem persists. Ciao Siegbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
