How can I force my passwords to be the old DES crypt function on a box that previously used MD5 crypt? There are only two accounts on it (mine and root), but I'd like it to use DES like all of the other machines in the group. Even after I've re-run passwd after installing the new libraries and binaries, it's still generating MD5 passwords instead of DES passwords. How do I force it to generate old-style DES passwords in spite of what the old passwords were, short of removing the password completely and then re-generating passwords? Shouldn't the new routine 'generate' passwords using the default routines, but read passwords from both? Nate
