In /etc/login.conf, change the default 'passwd_format' entry from
'md5' to 'des', and rebuild the login.conf.db file:
perl -pi.old -e 's/:passwd_format=md5:/:passwd_format=des:/;' \
login.conf
cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf
You'll have to get all your users to change passwords again if they've
got a new style MD5 password hash.

Upgrade to Solaris 9 which understands MD5 password hashes.
