Subject:   Password encryption on 2.0.5?

I want to upgrade to 2.0.5 from 1.1.5 but my 1.1.5 don't use libcrypt, but
it seems, at least from the src that I downloaded, that that is what
2.0.5 does. 

I think, correct me if I'm wrong, that my current passwords on 1.1.5 are
the short 13 character MD5 encrypted passwords. With the 2.0.5 my 
passwords are the 20 character encrypted passwords, and with the secure
dist they are the short 13 character DES encrypted passwords. 

When I saw that the DES encrypted passwords the the short 13 character, I 
thought perhaps I was using DES on my other machines, but I have no 
libcrypt libraries at all on my other machines. I then compaired some 
Makefiles from the two versions and noticed that 2.0.5 doesn't check to
see if there is a libcrypt.a, it just puts a -lcrypt in regardless. 

I've experimented and can't find the configuration that is compatible with
my current password encryption. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Eric
