I reread the thread... I apologize.. I fired off an email way to early.

You said your auth.conf was:
> # crypt_default =3D       md5 des
> # auth_list     =3D       passwd kerberos
>
> auth_list       =3D       passwd

I created a des account on my system (to play with) and got it to work by=
=20
adding the following to auth.conf (this is the only line which differs fr=
om=20
your auth.conf):
> crypt_default =3D blf des
Try adding "crypt_default =3D md5 des"

Again this is on 4.6.2-RELEASE. I'll probably cvsup this weekend and upda=
te it=20
to 4.7-STABLE, so let me know if it doesnt work.
