Description otto 2000-07-27 17:00:00 UTC

Full Cvsup compiled on 28th July 2000 resulted in strange, shorter 
than normal encrypted passwords when adding a new user.  When a new 
user tries to log in, they get an "Incorect Password" warning even 
if the password is correct.

How-To-Repeat: I guess using the latest 4 source from the 28th of July 2000 may do it.

See http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/crypt.html for an  
explanation of the two different crypt mechanisms 
available.  If you want to preserve the use of the 
MD5 crypt mechanism over a make world operation, be sure 
to add NODESCRYPTLINKS=YES to /etc/make.conf.
