Exactly. Since at least 2.0.5 those needing DES passwords
installed DES, and later CRYPTO, and we had them. As you said,
`Now there's one more step.' The problem is that nobody bothered
to tell us ahead of time about the additional step.
I still maintain that this is a change in default system behavior
and therefore there should have been a HEADS UP, and it should
have been mentioned in RELNOTES.TXT and UPDATING.
