Assuming you do not have any DES passwords (if you do, you'll have to replace them after moving the links): # cd /usr/lib # ln -fs libscrypt.a libcrypt.a # ln -fs libscrypt.so libcrypt.so # ln -fs libscrypt.so.2 libcrypt.so.2 # ln -fs libscrypt.so.2.0 libcrypt.so.2.0 And, if you have the profiling libraries installed: # ln -fs libscrypt_p.a libcrypt_p.a Then reboot, or at least cycle through single-user mode to make sure everything is relinked. To reenable DES encryption, follow the same instructions but replace "libscrypt" with "libdescrypt".
