[vchkpw] vpopmail md5/crypt behavior
I have my vpopmail configured as default so that it uses md5 passwords. It seems to authenticate correctly whether I have the password in md5 or crypt format. Is this correct behavior? It seems it will take either format and work correctly. Brian -- Brian Feeny, CCIE #8036 e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Engineerp: 318.213.4709 ShreveNet Inc. f: 318.221.6612

Any new passwords will be in md5, so if they change it or something, it'll be md5. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen ++ Systems Administrator ++ Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc.

And on *BSD, it also supports blowfish or anything else the MCF (modular crypt format) supports. vpopmail kind of breaks the blowfish support in that it truncates the encrypted password field; that always bites me when I upgrade.
