I need to install DES on this machine in order to be able to migrate some other accounts over to it from a DES crypting machine. I have 2.1.0 des.aa, and I know how to install it. However, I'm uncertain as to if 2.1.0 DES as the dual-encrypting feature whereby both DES and MD5 password will work. I've heard both that it does and that it does not. If the answer is the latter, is there any way to incorporate this feature? (Yeah, I probably ought to upgrade this machine to 2.2.2-RELEASE, but that's not much of an option right now.) Thanks.
