Hello,
In current version of crypt (3) at the end of "glibc notes":
"In the SHA implementation the entire key is significant (instead of only
the first 8 bytes in MD5)."
While in older versions with no mention to SHA:
"The entire key is significant here (instead of only the first 8 bytes)."
I understand the last sentence mean MD5 has entire key significant while
older DES not. If this is true, I think there is a contradiction with the
new version of manpage.
Is wrong the old version? (though I think MD5 has more than 8 bytes
significant of the key) Can someone clarify this? or I am missing
something?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Enrique D. Bosch 'presi'
