I need this to :: get FrontPage 2002 server extensions running ... The correct place to make the change is in login.conf. From the manpage, under the AUTHENTICATION section... passwd_format string md5 The encryption format that new or changed passwords will use. Valid values include "des", "md5" and "blf". NIS clients using a non-FreeBSD NIS server should probably use "des". The libcrypt libraries that ship with 4.4 (actually, they were committed sometime in 4.3-STABLE, I do believe) contain the code for both md5 and des, so there's no need to have separate libraries anymore (see crypt(3)). I might suggest creating a separate login class for your FrontPage users that uses des, and continue using md5 for everyone else.
