Hi, Why does Debian GNU/Hurd use DES encrypted passwords instead of MD5 encrypted passwords?
I have tested MD5 passwords on the Hurd (I've copied a /etc/shadow entry from my GNU/Linux installation to my /etc/shadow on Debian GNU/Hurd and logged in). This works. libshouldbeinlibc wasn't written to support this(I assume because of the crypt prototype there), but it supports it because of the way glibc works. I wonder if no-one knew it works (some people claimed it didn't works and because of that I had a look) or if it wasn't enabled because I'm stupid and don't understand debian. Thanks, Marco
