If you want MD5, DON'T install DES in any way. Ebones is a authentication/encryption system that uses the DES encryption standard. Note that communicating with other machines that expect DES password encryption (like NIS and the r-utils) won't work if you don't have DES installed. You can always install it later and your MD5 passwords will still work, but all new passwords will be crypted by DES. Make sure you grab the International DES version if you do that, though, you don't want to get us in hot water.
