Hi,

I am doing a clean install of FreeBSD 4.4 and cannot install:

WARNING: MS FrontPage Extentions require the DES Library
   Install the DES Library, then build apache-fp

   FreeBSD Handbook - Security (chapter 6)
     http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/security.html#CRYPT
   FAQ - I live outside the US. Can I use DES encryption?
     http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/install.html#AEN629

I noticed that my FreeBSD 4.1 system has the required files and the sources 
are available for 3.0 on:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/branches/3.0-stable/src/secure/lib/libdes/

But FreeBSD 4.4 did not install “the DES-capable crypt library libdescrypt 
(e.g. by installing the "crypto" distribution)” when I installed the 
"crypto" distribution.

Where are the libdescrypt files?

Can I use the 4.1 files in 4.4 instead?
This is the directory listing of my FreeBSD 4.1 System:

ls -l /usr/lib/libcrypt*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel       13 Aug 24  2000 /usr/lib/libcrypt.a -> 
libdescrypt.a
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel       14 Aug 24  2000 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so -> 
libdescrypt.so
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel       16 Aug 24  2000 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2 -> 
libdescrypt.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel       15 Aug 24  2000 /usr/lib/libcrypt_p.a -> 
libdescrypt_p.a
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  1099376 Jul 28  2000 /usr/lib/libcrypto.a
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel       14 Aug 24  2000 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so -> 
libcrypto.so.1
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   661112 Jul 28  2000 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  1173232 Jul 28  2000 /usr/lib/libcrypto_p.a

Then I can delete the current links from MD5:

rm /usr/lib/libcrypt*

and add the new links to DES:

ln -s /usr/lib/libdescrypt.a /usr/lib/libcrypt.a
ln -s /usr/lib/libdescrypt.so /usr/lib/libcrypt.so
ln -s /usr/lib/libdescrypt.so.2 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2
ln -s /usr/lib/libdescrypt_p.a /usr/lib/libcrypt_p.a

Is this correct?

Thanks,

David
