Greetings,

	I installed a new machine on 3.3-RELEASE and copied the passwords
entries from another 3.2-RELEASE machine.  I installed des on both
machines but for some odd reason, the following as a example will not be
recognized on the 3.3-RELEASE machine in /etc/master.passwd as a valid
password while it worked fine when I copied it from 3.1-RELEASE, -CURRENT
and even 2.2.x machines.

vince:7G2DAweJ1/D8c:1001:0::0:0:Vincent Poy,,,:/home/vince:/usr/local/bin/tcsh

	So I had to run passwd on each user to manually do the passwords
resulting that the passwords are DES as shown below:

vince:$1$I1DcF26E$/qf90HbgJHM3vhqDbu1Pl/:1001:0::0:0:Vincent Poy,,,:/home/vince:/usr/local/bin/tcsh

	Seems that the DES package can't read MD5 passwords like it can in
older releases.  Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?  


Cheers,
