pwhash
prints the encrypted form of
string to the standard output. This is mostly useful for
encrypting passwords from within scripts.
The options are as follows:
-b
rounds-k
-m
-p
-S
rounds-s
saltIf no string is specified,
pwhash
reads one string per line from standard
input, encrypting each one with the chosen algorithm from above. In the
event that no specific algorithm is given as a command line option, the
algorithm specified in the default class in
/etc/passwd.conf will be used.
For MD5 and Blowfish a new random salt is automatically generated for each password.
Specifying the string on the command line should be discouraged; using the standard input is more secure.
