It's not as simple as that, password hashes are usually salted and iterated. Salting means that the password is combined with a randomly generated string stored in plaintext, which means that the password doesn't hash to a fixed string. I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but crypt(3) may be of help. _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
