It didn't work very well for me, because what I had had missing bits; also it did not fit into the framework I had already constructed. What will be there after the commit is IMVHO a good starting point for your code :-).

The replacement libcrypt code at http://www.physics.adelaide.edu.au/~kkennawa/crypt-990725.tar.gz allows this (and more), the only major downside is that it doesn't allow statically-linked binaries to use external crypt() modules (blowfish, etc). Traditional-format MD5 and DES are built-in so should work fine when statically-linked. I haven't had much feedback on this code so would like to hear how well it works for people. Unfortunately I can't correct any bugs at the moment until I get my computer (which is at this moment being unloaded from a plane at the airport :-) set up and back on the net, but I tested it a fair bit myself back in Australia.

Something that came up recently, both for me and someone else on the list is the ability to have DES libs in the system and still use MD5 passwords as the default. I have no idea how difficult this would be to do, but if someone has it in mind here's another vote in favor. Meanwhile the upgrades sound good to me, for what that's worth. :) Thanks, Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

You might also like to turn on the x86 assembler code (it's only for pentiums, I think, so would have to be a non-default option :-(. It gives a performance increase of a factor of 3 or so, ISTR.
