Description for ldap-auth-config/pam_password is incorrect

[Daniel Richard G.]

Binary package hint: ldap-auth-config

Looking at ldap-auth-config 0.5.2 in Intrepid.

More of a "fit-and-finish" issue, but compare the Default: value below, and the blurb for the "crypt" option:

Template: ldap-auth-config/pam_password
Type: select
Choices: clear, crypt, nds, ad, exop, md5
Default: md5
Description: Local crypt to use when changing passwords:
 The PAM module can set the password crypt locally when changing the
 passwords, which is usually a good choice. Specifying something other than
 clear ensures that the password gets crypted in some way.
 .
 The meanings for selections are:
 .
 clear - Don't set any encryptions. This is useful with servers that
 automatically encrypt userPassword entry.
 .
 crypt - (Default) make userPassword use the same format as the flat
 filesystem. This will work for most configurations.
 .
 nds - Use Novell Directory Services-style updating by first removing the
 old password and then update with a cleartext password.
 .
 ad - Active Directory-style. Create a Unicode password and update the
 unicodePwd attribute.
 .
 exop - Use the OpenLDAP password change extended operation to update the
 password.
 .
 md5 - Use the stronger md5 algorithm instead of standard crypt.
