Hint: check out /usr/lib and the *crypt* links. Note that changing the above is an all-or-nothing if you want MD5 for new accounts. Doing so means you can't use DES, period. Hack the code (or do custom code) to call libscrypt rather than libdescypt when hashing. Having a knob in login.conf (or somewhere) to choose DES or MD5 (or others) was being worked on, but no idea how far along this is.
