Our company is currently in the middle of moving from one service provider
to another and have run into a snag. Both servers, old and new, are
running FreeBSD, but the old one uses a longer encryption string in the
master.passwd file than the new one. We were told to rebuild the kernel
with the extra encryption feature. The only problem is that we don't know
what to build into the kernel to use the feature.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Michael
