Hi! I just bumped into problem that passwords encoded on 4.2-stable do not work on 3.2-stable. AFAIU, the problem is that crypt() default behaviour is not to use MD5 anymore, and passwords that are created though adduser are not recognized on older versions. I didn't follow changes into source tree, so I don't know what reasons were to change crypt(). From another hand, it's a hack to patch adduser in a way it calls crypt with MD5 salt, but maybe you have different opinion? What ( if it ever exists) should be most elegant way to tackle this problem? -- Sincerely, Dmitry --- www.karasik.eu.org --- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
