[indiana-discuss] Default password hashing

[James Cornell]

Yeah been that way the whole time across the board.  First thing I do
after logging in is just that... the only program that needs crypt is
smc, and smc is dead, and opensolaris is unsupported until they have
something to replace SXDE, hopefully Indiana 2008.11 fits that bill.
Suffice to say some of the crazy compatibility restraints are not
warranted, unless someone here can come up with a case that could affect
a wide array of programs, I think a rfe needs to be submitted.
