Default a question about encryption .. adduser/useradd

hello !

When the -encryption flag isn't stated after adduser, what's the default encryption applied to a new user's password ?

The useradd utility doesn't have such a flag.. is blowfish the default when nothing is stated ?

Check login.conf(5) and /etc/login.conf. Look for "localcipher".

Per the adduser(8) manpage:
Code:
     -encryption, -e method
             Encrypt local passwords using method of encryption as described
             in login.conf(5).  If method is ``auto'', the encryption type
             will be derived from the user's login class.
