I'm non USA resident too and I had allways the need to support both DES
and MD5 encrypted passwords. Since several years I have the following
a.o. in my post installation script:

....
echo "Linke die MD5-Crypto Bibliotheken ...."
(
   cd /usr/lib
   rm -f libcrypt.a; ln -s libscrypt.a libcrypt.a
   rm -f libcrypt.so; ln -s libscrypt.so libcrypt.so
   rm -f libcrypt.so.2; ln -s libscrypt.so.2 libcrypt.so.2
   rm -f libcrypt_p.a; ln -s libscrypt_p.a libcrypt_p.a
)
....

This worked for me in all versions up to and including 4.2-20001126-STABLE.

Liebe Grüße, Nora.
