Most Linux distributions, including Fedora and RHEL 8, are shipping
with libxcrypt >= 4.0.
Since that version of libxcrypt the provided family of crypt_gensalt()
functions are able to use automatic entropy drawn from secure system
ressources, like arc4random(), getentropy() or getrandom().
Anyways, the settings generated by crypt_gensalt() are always
guaranteed to works with the crypt() function.
Using crypt_gensalt() is also needed to make proper use of newer
hashing methods, like yescrypt, provided by libxcrypt.
