CVE-2012-3287: md5crypt is no longer considered safe

The LinkedIn password incompetence has resulted in a number of "just use md5crypt and you'll be fine" pieces of advice on the net. Since I no longer consider this to be the case, I have issued an official statement, as the author of md5crypt, to the opposite effect: http://phk.freebsd.dk/sagas/md5crypt_eol.html Please find something better now. Thanks for using my code. Poul-Henning Kamp
