Description olivier 2013-03-22 00:10:00 UTC 
FreeBSD 9.1 uses SHA512 and not MD5 for encrypting passwords.
But chapter 15.4.1 "Recognizing Your Crypt Mechanism" still indicate MD5.

Fix: Applying the patch.

We changed that part a while ago, but apparently forgot to close this PR. 
Thanks for submitting it anyway.
