Blowfish? I've never heard of anyone using that for passwords. Standard Linux IME is md5. mkpasswd *is* in fact the standard tool for this purpose, and it can produce a variety of formats: $ mkpasswd -m help Available methods: des standard 56 bit DES-based crypt(3) md5 MD5 sha-256 SHA-256 sha-512 SHA-512 -Robin -- They say: "The first AIs will be built by the military as weapons."
