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".

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. Quote:
