Introduction

The svc_acct._password_encoding field specifies the encoding of passwords in the svc_acct._password field. Password encodings specify a format for storing a password along with information about its hash method (crypt/MD5/blowfish/etc.), if any. Password encodings do not represent a single, specific hash method each; instead, they tell you how the hash method and encrypted string are stored.

Encodings

crypt

ldap
