This is still an issue. DES crypt is really an ugly wart on the side of the FreeBSD nose..it's really a "legacy support" library and not something we should be installing by default along with the rest of the actually-useful crypto collection. Jordan, I wonder if it would be possible at this late stage to have sysinstall ask a separate question about DES password support, and use that to point the libcrypt symlinks to one or the other?
