freebsd/etc/auth.conf
Peter Wemm 9886bcdf93 Merge into a single US-exportable libcrypt, which only provides
one-way hash functions for authentication purposes.  There is no more
"set the libcrypt->libXXXcrypt" nightmare.
- Undo the libmd.so hack, use -D to hide the md5c.c internals.
- Remove the symlink hacks in release/Makefile
- the algorthm is set by set_crypt_format() as before.  If this is
  not called, it tries to heuristically figure out the hash format, and
  if all else fails, it uses the optional auth.conf entry to chose the
  overall default hash.
- Since source has non-hidden crypto in it there may be some issues with
  having the source it in some countries, so preserve the "secure/*"
  division.  You can still build a des-free libcrypt library if you want
  to badly enough.  This should not be a problem in the US or exporting
  from the US as freebsd.org had notified BXA some time ago.  That makes
  this stuff re-exportable by anyone.
- For consistancy, the default in absence of any other clues is md5.  This
  is to try and minimize POLA across buildworld where folk may suddenly
  be activating des-crypt()-hash support.  Since the des hash may not
  always be present, it seemed sensible to make the stronger md5 algorithm
  the default.
All things being equal, no functionality is lost.
