+  *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
+     unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
+     verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
+     hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
+     or the new '-noverify' option is used.
+
+     This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
+     non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
+     line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
+     cause any problems.
