["J.H.M. Dassen (Ray)" <dm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>] Bug#149447:libpam-modules: Support for OpenBSD's blowfish crypt encoding

Debian has received the following request for the OpenBSD bfcrypt
support for password hashes.

I'm mostly of the opinion that Debian should support this exactly when
upstream does; having different password hashes be valid on different
Linux distributions will confuse users.

It would be nice if PAM were to support OpenBSD's blowfish crypt encoding
("bcrypt"). A preliminary patch is available at
