I upgraded a machine from 2.0.5 to 2.2.5 yesterday and preserved my old master.passwd. Then I installed libdescrypt.so.2.0 from a machine in our network since the binary dist doesn't have the libdes stuff (I took a version from internat.freebsd.org). Since users with MD5 passwords seem to be unable to login. I also noted that when a user had a md5 passwd string in the old master.passwd ($1$...) and you give him a new one he gets a des password starting with $1<des string>. Formerly libdes (crypt.c) took care for this and gave him a MD5 password again although des was enabled (via the libcrypt link). How can I get out of this mess? I don't want to tell all my users to change their passwords. Can someone shed some light on what's changed? -- Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
