I know this may seem off-the-wall to some, but I pasted a hashed
password for a user under 9.1 into the /etc/passwd entry for that user
on an 8.3 machine, and auth continues to work properly. That's nice.

been using that on older FreeBSD servers as a workaround. I think that
OpenBSD uses a high number of rounds on

Thank you, Mark, for your helpful answer :)
yes, i am aware of the max username length of 16characters.. I just wanted

Thank you again :)
