	No ... the system sec.  is DES based ... I have DES passwds 
	both in acp_passwd and in /etc/master.passwd.
	The other thing is that the erpcd does authentificate ! - 
	but for the certain accounts erpcds just sit in crypt()  dunno
	why ... Those accounts aren't different from those ones who work
	fine ...
	Futhermore , the erpcd I run on SS10 under SunOS 414 work just fine
	with the  _same acp_passwd
