>Description:
Setting up a login class in /etc/login.conf with a different passwd_format than the default class (e.g. blf instead of md5) will work now with the adduser script.
But when the user attempts to change his password via the passwd utility, this will generate an md5 password because it uses the format of the default login class.
>How-To-Repeat:
as root:
edit /etc/login.conf: remove comments from last entry (des_users)
update the database: cap_mkdb -v /etc/login.conf
change your class: chpass -> Class: des_users
change your password: passwd
look a the encoded password: chpass
you can see that the password starts with $1... (md5)
