5   This version of mkpasswd can create both DES and MD5 passwords, with
6   either randomly generated or user provided salts.  
7  
8   Options:
9 + -6 - Create a SHA-512 password
10 + -5 - Create a SHA-256 password
11   -m - Create an MD5 password
12 + -b - Create a BlowFish password
13   -d - Create a DES password
14 + -e - Create an Extended DES password
15   -l - Specify the length of a random MD5 salt
16 + -r - Specify a number of rounds for a BlowFish or Extended DES password
17   -p - Specify the plaintext password at the command line
18   -s - Specify the salt at the command line
19 + -R - Specify a raw salt passed directly to crypt()
20   -h - Get help
21  
22   Without the presence of any parameters, it'll behave like the old mkpasswd,
# Line 31 | Line 36 | The encryption algorithms supported depe
36    implementation.
37   The maximum length of an MD5 salt is limited to your systems crypt()
38    implementation, typically 8.
34 crypt.c (MD5 implementation) is included, but not yet compiled into the
35  program for systems that do not support MD5.
39  
40   Supported Platforms (Known and tested):
41 < Linux glibc (DES and MD5)
41 > Linux glibc (SHA since glibc 2.7, DES and MD5)
42   FreeBSD 3.x (DES (MD5 maybe))
43   FreeBSD 4.x (DES and MD5)
44   Solaris 2.5-2.6 (DES only)
