Hi,

I noticed that some MacPorts require, on Mac OS X, user accounts with
cryptpassword types. For example, the OpenLDAP MacPort creates a user
named ldap
but interestingly the ldap user created is also created with a "crypt"
password. Same thing for the Dbus (Message Bus) and PostgreSQL Server user
accounts.

Is there a reason why crypt passwords are used and should they be changed to
a different type of password such as a Shadow Password?

Thank you,

T.M.
