Hi all!

I just found out that you can set

	:passwd_format=des:

in /etc/login.conf to force passwords to be DES encrypted.
(needed for interoperability here)

Result: when wdm tries to start xconsole, xconsole dumps
core right after reading the contents of spwd.db, whenever
root's password is DES encrypted.

(gdb) backtrace

All the links in /usr/lib are set to libdescrypt anyway,
maybe somethings wrong with the linkage of the xconsole binary?

This is 4.1.1-STABLE as of yesterday and the XF86 3.3.6 that came
with 4.1.1-RELEASE.
