Hi,
how can one find that which encryption algorithm the system is using for keeping the user password in the /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file.
Is it
1: Hashing ( which considers only first 5 letters of password)
2: MD5 (Which allows arbitry length passwords)
Thanks,

I'm collecting some info on the password hashing algorithms in use on various Unix systems. So far I have:
no $ legacy unix crypt
$1$ MD5
$2$ Blowfish on BSD
$2a$ alternate Blowfish on BSD

$3$ a Microsoft hash

Hello,
I'm having an issue with my password hashing. In /etc/shadow all the passwords hashes start with $1$. The security people want me to change it so the password hash starts with $5$ or $6$. So this is what I did to fix this.
I changed CRYPT_DEFAULT for 1 to 6
CRYPT_DEFAULT=6When I create a... (0 Replies)
Hi,
Our security audit person generated a report for Solaris-10 servers and mentioned this suggestion - "All passwords should be hashed using bcrypt. Solaris 10 supports this blowfish-based hash algorithm with the identifier 2a. To verify this, ensure the password hashes start with $2a$.... (2 Replies)

htpurge
htdig(1) General Commands Manual htdig(1)NAME
htpurge - remove unused odocuments from the database (general maintenance script)
SYNOPSIS
htpurge [-][-a][-c configfile][-u][-v]
DESCRIPTION
Htpurge functions to remove specified URLs from the databases as well as bad URLs, unretrieved URLs, obsolete documents, etc. It is recom-
mended that htpurge be run after htdig to clean out any documents of this sort.
OPTIONS
- Take URL list from standard input (rather than specified with -u). Format of input file is one URL per line. -a Use alternate work
files. Tells htpurge to append .work to database files, causing a second copy of the database to be built. This allows the original
files to be used by htsearch during the run.
-c configfile
Use the specified configfile instead of the default.
-u URL Add this URL to the list of documents to remove. Must be specified multiple times if more than one URL are to be removed. Should nor
be used together with -.
-v Verbose mode. This increases the verbosity of the program. Using more than 2 is probably only useful for debugging purposes. The
default verbose mode (using only one -v) gives a nice progress report while digging.
FILES
/etc/htdig/htdig.conf
The default configuration file.
