Without the presence of any parameters, it'll behave like the old mkpasswd, |
| 24 |
< |
creating a DES password with a randomly generated salt and prompting for |
| 19 |
< |
the password (without echo). |
| 23 |
> |
If no parameter is given, it will create an MD5 password with a randomly |
| 24 |
> |
generated salt and prompting for the password (without echo). |

|
A DES salt is a pair of alphanumeric characters ('.' and '/' are permitted |
| 27 |
|
as well), such as 'a4' or 'Td'. |
| 34 |
|
Blowfish (on OpenBSD) is not yet supported |
| 35 |
|
The encryption algorithms supported depend on your system's crypt() |
| 36 |
|
implementation. |
| 37 |
< |
The maximum length of an MD5 salt is limited to your systems crypt() |
| 37 |
> |
The maximum length of an MD5 salt is limited to your system's 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. |
