Assuming I understand you, this is equally bad. If I understand what
you're saying, in the new state of things crypt() is always going to be
DES, unless you don't have src/secure in your tree? And there is no way
to choose, in either case? There really needs to be a way to at least
build the world with src/secure present but still have the choice of
what format crypt() is going to use by default. There are valid reasons
for both choices.

For the fifth or sixth time, the concerns I'm expressing have nothing
to do with the system passwords. I'm talking about crypt() itself.
