That might be an explanation! passwd uses whatever format you specified in /etc/login.conf for that users login class... Since the default crypt has been changing around with export restrictions being lifted etc. You should just put that you want DES in there... put in the line ":passwd_format=des:\" under "default:\" Good Luck!
