Hello,
I am running FreeBSD 5.1.
In /etc/login.conf, I see my password_format is set to MD5.
Now let's assume a temporary user I created. He logs in as 'nerdy' and
his password is 'FreeBSD'. (without quotes of course)
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/master.passwd,v 1.34 2003/04/27 05:45:29 imp Exp $
#
nerdy:$1$1xYw.V8w$IozDgrd4srvZPPqu85cR..:1005:1006::0:0:Mr.
Know-it-all:/home/nerdy:/bin/sh
The $1$ means we are in fact using MD5.
but when I run md5 in the command line, I get
$ md5 -s FreeBSD
MD5 ("FreeBSD") = a3dc630729e463135f4e608954fa6e19
which is considerably different.
Why is that?
