    From the 2.0.5-ALPHA/compat20/compat20.tgz file on the Taiwan
mirror (netbsd.csie.nctu.edu.tw):

# tar -ztvf compat20.tgz | grep des
lrwxr-xr-x bin/bin           0 Feb 26 09:58 1995 usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0 -> libdescrypt.so.2.0
-r--r--r-- bin/bin       14039 Jan 26 03:06 1995 usr/lib/libdescrypt.so.2.0

    Shouldn't compat20.tgz contain only the MD5 routines and have
libcrypt.so.2. linked to libscrypt.so.2.0 by default?  I nearly got
nailed after a rdist'd the /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd from one
of the other pre-2.0.5 machines and pwd_mkdb'd it.  Luckily I decided
to login as root in another virtual console, and that's when I
discovered it was using DES.  /usr/lib/libcrypt.a is still correctly
symlinked to /usr/lib/libscrypt.a (from the bindist, I guess).
