MD5 or SHA1 with "salt" and therefore it is _not_. |

| 12 |
Almost. It is done by one of pam's module. Look in /etc/pam.d |

| 15 |
The salt method is not algorithm specific. Emerge john and let it run on |
| 16 |
your local passwords and you will know what it is :) |
| 17 |
As far I remember the DES version was with salt, too (I have no clue |
| 18 |
what NBS stands for). |
