It looks like you were using DES passwords in the previous version, but your install somehow switched to the MD5 crypt routines. YOu'll want to check the link in /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.* and make sure they point to libdescrypt.so.*. On my 2.2.6-RELEASE system, this is what it looks liek: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root bin 13 May 24 09:36 libcrypt.a -> libdescrypt.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root bin 18 May 24 09:36 libcrypt.so.2.0 -> libdescrypt.so.2.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root bin 15 May 24 09:36 libcrypt_p.a -> libdescrypt_p.a -r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 10770 Mar 24 17:50 libdescrypt.a -r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 16698 May 23 11:14 libdescrypt.so.2.0 -r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 12426 Mar 24 17:50 libdescrypt_p.a -r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 4616 Mar 24 17:50 libscrypt.a -r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 12579 Mar 24 17:50 libscrypt.so.2.0 -r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 5104 Mar 24 17:50 libscrypt_p.a --- Donald Burr <dburr@POBoxes.com> - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.
