So, several months ago I installed a new server for our lab, and as I always do, I selected MD5 encryption for the passwords. Now that I'm in the middle of setting up this machine as a NIS server for the various other machines in the lab, I find that some other flavors of UNIX don't like MD5. Oops. OK, so no problem, I can actually keep a separate master.passwd file for the NIS accounts anyway, I just need to populate them with DES encrypted passwords. So my question is, how do I create DES encrypted passwords from Perl? I tried compiling a new perl binary pointing at libdescrypt, but somehow crypt() still uses MD5.
