NAME
       crypt_bsdbf  -  password	 hashing  module  using Blowfish cryptographic
       algorithm

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/security/$ISA/crypt_bsdbf.so

DESCRIPTION
       The crypt_bsdbf module is a one-way password  hashing  module  for  use
       with  crypt(3C)	that  uses  the	 Blowfish cryptographic algorithm. The
       algorithm identifier for crypt.conf(4) and policy.conf(4) is 2a.

       The maximum password length for crypt_bsdbf is 72 characters.

       The default number of rounds is log(4). This can be increased by updat‐
       ing /etc/security/crypt.conf, for example, for log(12) rounds:

	 2a crypt_bsdbf.so.1	12
