I also cannot find a port of DES to 3.0 from outside the US. I assume this means I'm shafted until someone re-writes DES outside the US again. I also assume it is not possible to use MD5 encryption on local accounts and crypt on NIS accounts? Thanks for you help John Landamore | Researchers have already cast much darkness | Sys.
