What do your /usr/lib/libcrypt* links point to? They should point to /usr/lib/libdescrypt* to make DES passwords the default. If this system has been upgraded, do an "ldd /usr/bin/passwd" to verify that /usr/bin/passwd is using libraries from /usr/lib/, not /usr/lib/aout. > Is there a configuration file that I need to tweak somewhere to enable DES > support?

I believe /etc/auth.conf configures the use of Kerberos for /usr/bin/login and /usr/bin/su. /etc/pam.conf, a new configuration file (that should subsume /etc/auth.conf someday), configures which PAM modules are used for authentication, but that shouldn't affect /usr/bin/passwd.
