From a5ab4882348d26addc9830a44e053238dfa2cb58 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Damien Miller Date: Thu, 6 May 2021 10:08:30 +1000 Subject: remove built-in support for md5crypt() Users of MD5-hashed password should arrange for ./configure to link against libxcrypt or similar. Though it would be better to avoid use of MD5 password hashing entirely, it's arguably worse than DEScrypt. feedback and ok dtucker@ --- INSTALL | 5 ----- 1 file changed, 5 deletions(-) (limited to 'INSTALL') diff --git a/INSTALL b/INSTALL index dddd912c..b6e53ab6 100644 --- a/INSTALL +++ b/INSTALL @@ -197,11 +197,6 @@ it if lastlog is installed in a different place. --with-osfsia, --without-osfsia will enable or disable OSF1's Security Integration Architecture.
