crypt_blowfishcrypt_blowfishPosted Feb 18, 2006 2:33 UTC (Sat) by mikew (guest, #27697)Parent article: crypt_blowfish I thought blowfish was available to Linux PAM systems for at least a few years now through pam_unix2. I've never used SuSE, but the guy who wrote this worked for SuSE, so I'm guessing it was used in SuSE. I've used it on my own system, at the very least.

crypt_blowfish Posted Feb 18, 2006 15:54 UTC (Sat) by solardiz (guest, #35993) [Link] Actually, SuSE has crypt_blowfish (precisely the implementation that this news item talks about) integrated into glibc - and that's what pam_unix2 uses.
Yes, this has been around for a few years. crypt_blowfish 0.x has been around for over 5 years - but I declared it "mature" and released as 1.0 just recently.
As the crypt_blowfish homepage says:
"crypt_blowfish is fully integrated into Owl and distributions by ALT Linux team, as the default password hashing scheme. It is a part of the glibc package on ASPLinux and SuSE Linux.
Additionally, crypt_blowfish is used in the PHP Hardening-Patch, in PostgreSQL's contrib/pgcrypto providing bcrypt support for crypt() and gen_salt() SQL functions, and in CommuniGate Pro messaging server starting with version 4.1 ..."
