<para>
Indicate if passwords must be encrypted using the MD5-based
algorithm. If set to <replaceable>yes</replaceable>, new passwords
will be encrypted using the MD5-based algorithm compatible with the
one used by recent releases of FreeBSD. It supports passwords of
unlimited length and longer salt strings. Set to
<replaceable>no</replaceable> if you need to copy encrypted
passwords to other systems which don't understand the new algorithm.
Default is <replaceable>no</replaceable>.
