You seem to have MD5 encryption installed instead of DES. If you look at
your libcrypt.a, you'll see it is a link to libscrypt.a. Use sysinstall
to install the DES library from a non-US mirror of FreeBSd, or from
CDROM, if you have that. Then your libcrypt.a will be a link to
libdescrypt.a, and you'll get DES encrypted passwords.
