When <option>ENCRYPT_METHOD</option> is set to
|
|
<replaceable>SHA256</replaceable> or
|
|
<replaceable>SHA512</replaceable>, this defines the number of SHA
|
|
rounds used by the encryption algorithm by default (when the number
|
|
of rounds is not specified on the command line).

<para>

With a lot of rounds, it is more difficult to brute forcing the
|
|
password. But note also that more CPU resources will be needed to
|
|
authenticate users.

If not specified, the libc will choose the default number of rounds
|

(5000).

The values must be inside the 1000-999999999 range.

If only one of the <option>SHA_CRYPT_MIN_ROUNDS</option> or
