The algorithm used is essentially PBKDF1 from RFC 2898 but using
hmac_sha1 rather than SHA1 directly (suggested by smb@research.att.com).
* The format of the encrypted password is:
* $<tag>$<iterations>$<salt>$<digest>
*
* where:
* <tag> is "sha1"
* <iterations> is an unsigned int identifying how many rounds
* have been applied to <digest>. The number
* should vary slightly for each password to make
* it harder to generate a dictionary of
* pre-computed hashes. See crypt_sha1_iterations.
* <salt> up to 64 bytes of random data, 8 bytes is
* currently considered more than enough.
* <digest> the hashed password.
hmac.c implementes HMAC as defined in RFC 2104 and includes a unit
test for both hmac_sha1 and hmac_sha1 using a selection of the Known
Answer Tests from RFC 2202.
It is worth noting that to be FIPS compliant the hmac key (password)
should be 10-20 chars.
- SHLIBDIR Location to install shared libraries if ${USE_SHLIBDIR}
is "yes". Defaults to "/usr/lib".
- USE_SHLIBDIR If "yes", install shared libraries in ${SHLIBDIR}
instead of ${LIBDIR}. Defaults to "no".
Sets ${_LIBSODIR} to the appropriate value.
This may be set by individual Makefiles as well.
- SHLINKDIR Location of shared linker. Defaults to "/usr/libexec".
If != "/usr/libexec", change the dynamic-linker
encoded in shared programs
* Set USE_SHLIBDIR for libraries used by /bin and /sbin:
libc libcrypt libcrypto libedit libipsec libkvm libm libmi387
libtermcap libutil libz
* If ${_LIBSODIR} != ${LIBDIR}, add symlinks from ${LIBDIR}/${LIB}.so*
to ${_LIBSODIR}/${LIB}.so* for compatibility.
* Always install /sbin/init statically (for now)
The net effect of these changes depends on how the variables are set:
1.) If nothing is set or changed, there is no change from the
current behaviour:
- Static /bin, /sbin, and bits of /usr/*
- Dynamic rest
- Shared linker is /usr/libexec/ld*so
2.) If the following make variables are set:
LDSTATIC=
SHLINKDIR=/lib
SHLIBDIR=/lib
Then the behaviour becomes:
- Dynamic tools
- .so libraries used by /bin and /sbin are installed to /lib,
with symlinks from /usr/lib/lib*so to -> /lib/lib*so
where appropriate
- Shared linker is /lib/ld*so
3.) As per 2.), but add the following variable:
USE_SHLIBDIR=yes
This forces all .so's to be instaleld in /lib (with compat
symlinks), not just those tagged by their Makefiles to be.
Again, compat symlinks are installed
