Hi, thanks much for the response.

It looks like the wrong libs are in fact installed?:

su-2.02# ls -l /usr/lib/*crypt*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     wheel          11 Apr 12 16:18
/usr/lib/libcrypt.a -> libscrypt.a
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     wheel          12 Apr 12 16:18
/usr/lib/libcrypt.so -> libscrypt.so
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     wheel          14 Apr 12 16:18
/usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2 -> libscrypt.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     wheel          13 Apr 12 16:21
/usr/lib/libcrypt_p.a -> libscrypt_p.a
-r--r--r--   1 root     wheel        6198 Feb 15  1999 /usr/lib/libscrypt.a
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     wheel          14 Apr 12 16:18
/usr/lib/libscrypt.so -> libscrypt.so.2
-r--r--r--   1 root     wheel        7607 Feb 15  1999
/usr/lib/libscrypt.so.2
-r--r--r--   1 root     wheel        6688 Feb 15  1999
/usr/lib/libscrypt_p.a
su-2.02#

I'm surprised, because I specifically selected DES during
the install.  I also found the following libs:

/usr/lib/compat/aout/libdes.so.3.0
/usr/lib/compat/aout/libdescrypt.so.2.0

Am I right in saying that md5 passwords usually begin
with a $1?  Both systems do not have passwords that
begin with this.

I'm running FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE (GENERIC).
