Hello,
     I was just looking at my password file, and I have one user that
has an encrypted password that is very long and starts with $1$ which
I'm guessing is MD5?  All the other users have shorter encrypted
passwords, and they _don't_ start with $1$ which I'm guess is DES?

     All users can login just fine.  If the different users are in
fact using two different encryption schemes, then how is this working?

The system is 4.1-stable as of a couple weeks ago.
