It didn't use DES if you didn't load the des distribution.  Since
you're in OZ, I guess I can assume that you didn't grab one of the
foreign DES distributions?  The default password "encryption" with 1.x
was a simple scrambler and about as difficult to break as a Captain
Midnight decoder ring, fresh from a box of cereal.

That might actually work to your advantage, however.  Nate - what was
the algorithm you used?  I don't have any 1.x sources around to check.
It may well be that you can write a perl script to descramble the
puppies and then re-DES or MD5 encrypt them.
