I recently upgraded my 2.1.5 FreeBSD CD-ROM installation to a 2.2.2
installation.  The installation was accomplished via ftp.  After modifying
the rc.conf file to look like the sysconfig file, the system is again
running.  I am having problems in two areas in which you may be able to
help.  First, I am trying to get Qualcomm's qpopper 2.3 running.  Second, I
was wondering if you could e-mail me the login.conf file.

The first problem is, perhaps, related to my DES/Kerbose installation.  I
am not sure.  I unpacked the qpopper source into a directory
/root/qpopper2.3 and ran "make 44bsd".  The source compiled fine, but when
it came time to link into an executable it returned:
pop_pass.o:  Undefined symbol '_crypt' referenced from text segment
*** Error code 1
The documentation says that FreeBSD needs to have the DES installed.  I
ftp'd the des.aa, des.ab, krb.aa, krb.ab, krb.ac and the install script
from ftp.freebsd.org and ran the install.sh.  This seemed to work.  I
rebooted, but the compiler error was the same.  

Next I installed the DES option from the sysinstall program.  Same result.
I noticed in the online FreeBSD html handbook to look at the links on the
libcrypt* files.  My files show the same des links as those in section
6.1.1 of the handbook.  However a look at the master password file shows
all passwords beginning with $1$, which indicates the MD5 algorithm.  Is my
system confused or what?

Is there some switch I have missed?  Should I start over? I would like to
use the system as an e-mail server for a class of about 20 students who are
here taking a one month short course.  I looked at the FAQ, but did not
come up with anything related to pop mail.

The second problem is related to the way I installed FreeBSD.  I did not
install the sources and therefore can not solve the following problem,
taken from your errata:  

o login as root produces "login_getclass: unknown class 'root'" on system
  console.

cp /usr/src/etc/login.conf /etc

While the current hard disk is not large enough for a source distribution,
I could use another machine.  I do not feel like using the bandwidth (200
MB) is appropriate for a file which is likely in the neighborhood of 20k. I
could not find the file on the web site.

I realize you are very busy and may not be able to help, but I and the
students would appreciate your aid.  Thank you.
