Hi misc@ I just found out that ypcipher=old is no longer supported in login.conf.
Since I have a mixed platform lab network using YP (FreeBSD servers) I am curious if anyone has some experience of how portable blowfish is as a cipher for YP passwords. FreeBSD man pages say that they support it. I also have lots of old and new linux clients and just a few OpenBSD clients in the network. Linux as usual shines being badly documented so I can not find out if any of those support blowfish. Therefore I ask this list if anyone knows about this? Are there more password ciphers planned for the future e.g sha256 and sha512? Do you have any other tips on how to handle logins in a mixed OS YP network? -- / Raimo Niskanen, Erlang/OTP, Ericsson AB
