Well besides the problem with /etc/pam.conf if you didnt install the new one, you can choose what password format you want use in /etc/login.conf by using the line passwd_format=md5 or des... Also as a side note, the des libs understand both des and md5 crypts, but the md5 libs only understand md5 crypt... Good luck! Kal.
