You guys seem to miss my point.. This is what I did back several months ago. And i had: NODESCRYPTLINKS=true in /etc/make.conf so when make world went threw it didn't demolish my links. Now it appears as if that option does nothing. After looking in /usr/lib there are not any symlinks at all anymore. They are actual libraries in place of where links to libscrypt and libdescrypt could go. Thats whats confused me, something recently - within the past week perhaps has changed.
