when it could not determine the source of the user's passwd(5) entry,
it might be somewhat confusing now that we can have sources that are
not compiled into libc.
chpass(8). The relations between libc, libpam, chpass, passwd, and
vipw are a mess and probably should be cleaned up.

were removed and replaced them with clnt_tp_create, now the af_local
support is fixed.
I also removed the hack how rpcinfo contacted rpcbind, now we can
relay on clnt_tp_create create the client-handle for us. Only
rpcbind itself needs a hardcoded socket-path.

Also add $FreeBSD
for crypt(3) by now. In any case:
Add crypt_set_format(3) + documentation to -lcrypt.
Add login_setcryptfmt(3) + documentation to -lutil.
Support for switching crypt formats in passwd(8).
Support for switching crypt formats in pw(8).
The simple synopsis is:
edit login.conf; add a passwd_format field set to "des" or "md5"; go nuts :)

parameter is missing, or specified as above, then passwd behaves as normal
when the user enters an all lower case password -- i.e., it prompts them
to use mixed case, and will only grudgingly accept an all lower case
password.
If you negate this entry in login.conf, with "mixpasswordcase@", then
passwd will allow all lower case passwords without complaining.

happened as it was working around problems elsewhere (ie: binutils/ld
not doing the right thing according to the ELF design). libcrypt has
been adjusted to not need the runtime -lmd. It's still not quite right
(ld is supposed to work damnit) but at least it doesn't impact all the
users of libcrypt in Marcel's cross-build model.
"passwordtime" is what passwd(1) has actually been using. I suspect
passwordperiod was the original intent. I can't figure-out which,
if either, BSDi uses. If anyone knows...
It selects which hash format to use by checking /etc/auth.conf for
auth_default. Leaving auth_default disabled will give the current
behaviour (use the same format as is currently used in the password,
or if a new password default to what crypt likes best--des if it exists).
Now you can set it to one of: des, best, md5 or sha1. best is a synonym
for sha1, currently.
