Re: Upgrade broke MD5 crypt

[Micah Anderson <micah@riseup.net>]

Sorry everyone for the multiple postings... as you might have gathered
from my message, my email was not working as it should due to my

Indeed, I did upgrade my libssl to incorporate a security upgrade in
debian stable... are you saying that the md5 extention to crypt went
away at some point recently?

Thanks,
micah
