I've been running BSD using the default encryption method since it is
supposedly more secure than DES.  Now I need to switch to DES (in order
to export the passwords to a local netblazer).  I know I'll need to reset
everyone's passwords which will be a pain, and I guess I'll have to recompile
any binaries that use libcrypt, but how do I install the library files I 
need and exactly which standard binaries will need recompiling?  I guess I'll
have to be very careful in resetting the root password if I don't want to
have to reboot my system.  Help!
