Can anybody point me at documentation detailing the the algorithm used for
password encryption on exported SPARCS?  My precise configuration is
SPARCstation 1+ running SunOS 4.1.  I have a genuine need to assess the
strength of this algorithm to ensure that it conforms to our security
policy.

Thanks in advance,
