The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Libcrypt in LIBC 6 issues

Yes, this has come up before. Libcrypt is world-war-two technology,
and we'll take the risk on it.

The best way to deal with it would be to export libcrypt code that is not
reversible - it would work as a one-way hash function for passwords,
which is all that's necessary. I can't tell you how to do this with the
present libcrypt code, or if it is even possible to do at all.

Using MD5 passwords is not an option if you share password files via NIS.

	Thanks
