The MD5 encryption uses the crypt() interface. It just returns
MD5-encrypted strings, which non-FreeBSD systems might have a problem
with.  For your firewall it's probably a good idea to install DES on the
system to ensure maximum compatibility.  Be wary of the export restriction
if you're outside the US though.
