Addendum: If I set a new password for an existing account, I can login. This
brings me the feeling that there's something wrong with the encryption
during the password check. As recommended for people migrating from
Linux to FreeBSD, I've installed the crypto package for FreeBSD and
and AFAIK it should use standard crypt() now (vanilla FreeBSD uses md5
instead of DES).
# perl -e "print crypt('cleartextpw', 'encryptedpw')
returns exactly the encrypted password so I'd gguess it's working.
Best regards,
