Subject: [dm-crypt] password -md5 in grub.conf/menu.lst
Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2011 10:17:16 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E4BCD6C.7060708@mousecar.com> (raw)


In grub/menu.lst file my /boot partition is a line like this:

password --md5 $1$Mb9vxXPV$pAbcdTxr4Twh32XXgns2/

The last bit is 35 characters long.


Is this the hash digest of the passphrase?  Is the final slash character
(/) just another character or is it in some way especially significant?

tnx
