I don't recall installing DES, but I may very well have when I upgraded
it from 2.1.0 to 2.2.6. It appears that any user added since the upgrade
not only has the shorter encrypted password but also cannot ftp in (the
machine only has a couple of users). The ftpd I'm using is wu-ftpd 2.4.2
which was also installed before the upgrade. I may try proftpd since I
found mention of a problem with wu-ftpd and logins in the email archives,
unfortunately there wasn't much info there about the problem.
Vince.
