6   This version of mkpasswd can create both DES and MD5 passwords, with
7   either randomly generated or user provided salts.  
8  
9   Options:
10 + -6 - Create a SHA-512 password
11 + -5 - Create a SHA-256 password
12   -m - Create an MD5 password
13 + -b - Create a BlowFish password
14   -d - Create a DES password
15 + -e - Create an Extended DES password
16   -l - Specify the length of a random MD5 salt
17 + -r - Specify a number of rounds for a BlowFish or Extended DES password
18   -p - Specify the plaintext password at the command line
19   -s - Specify the salt at the command line
20 + -R - Specify a raw salt passed directly to crypt()
21   -h - Get help
22  
23   Without the presence of any parameters, it'll behave like the old mkpasswd,
# Line 31 | Line 37 | The encryption algorithms supported depe
37    implementation.
38   The maximum length of an MD5 salt is limited to your systems crypt()
39    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.
40  
41   Supported Platforms (Known and tested):
42   Linux glibc (DES and MD5)
