Forum Topic - Password security evolution under QNX 4.25: (2 Items)
   
Password security evolution under QNX 4.25  
Is there any documentation that describes the evolution of password security under QNX 4.25.
I am not familiar with when the additional encryption processes began.
I am currently using QNX4.25D and passwords are set via the passwd command which creates the shadow file.  We then copy 
the shadow file around to other nodes so all have the same password.
When trying out the lastest release (2011) I have run into "qcrypt" and do not understand how this works.  Any guidance 
would be appreciated.

Hi David,

Read about security updates in Release Notes:

Respectfully,
