BUT, when I try to login it doesnt accept the password now.. the same condition I had before, I have to boot into single user mode and switch the crypt symlinks back to change the password back to MD5 then I can login. Do I need to recompile login and anything else than uses the crpyt libs?? Isnt there some easier way to make sure everything gets fixed?
