We have frontpage 3.0 (98 extensions) setup and they seem to create des passwords by default. I beleive our systems (not selecting any options) installs md5 libcrypt. So frontpage never works after I setup a web, I have to go use htpasswd to create a new password again, then everythign works. Can I dropin a new libcrypt, do a make world or something to solve this compadibability issue on a running server? Should I just re-compile htpasswd and httpd to use des (is this possible with libcrypt using md5). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
