Make sure libcrypt.* are symlinked to libdescrypt.*. 
libdescrypt recognizes both DES and MD5 passwords, but the default format is
DES (i.e. new passwords are DES-encrypted).
To force a specific password format set the passwd_format capability in
/etc/loginf.conf.

For more information:
   - man login.conf(5)
   - read section 8.4 of the handbook.
