I recently went to md5 passwords in /etc/password. Among other things
that gave me long passwords. Perhaps that was silly. Both sshd's
(/usr/sbin/sshd and /usr/pkg/sbin/sshd (from openssh)) can't seem to
deal with md5 passwords. (The unix password is still useful when
coming in from a semi-public machine where one is afraid that their
~/.ssh/identity file might get lifted and cracked.)
