Easy 'nuff: grab the `des' distribution from ftp.freebsd.org or CDROM, cd to /, and type `cat des.* | tar xzf -' to extract. From then forward, all new crypted passwords (and others) will be in DES. Plus, your old MD5 passwords will still be recognized. The system-supplied des libs and such are internationalized and thus only contain md5 code, even though it's called libdes. ;) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
