[CF-Devel] Crypt in FreeBSD (AGAIN)

[Joris Bontje]

When reading the cvs mailinglist I noticed that mark disabled the
encryption of passwords for crossfire on FreeBSD. I think this is an
extremely bad thing for security and compatibility reasons.

I don't understand why this is needed. 2 years ago this item showed up
too and was addressed in the mailinglist see
     
     http://mailman.real-time.com/pipermail/crossfire-devel/2000-November/000597.html
     
     
and be sure to check the followups.

If the solution was to do SHA1 encryption (or MD5) for all platforms by
default, I would have seen the use. But decreasing the security doesnt
sound good.
