It's okay to change the links from libscrypt to libdescrypt for libcrypt*, as the libdescrypt library can encode/decode DES and pass MD5 passwords to libscrypt. Where as the libscrypt can only encode/decode MD5 passwords. Since, you originally used the libdescrypt, all the passwords were encrypted with DES encryption.
