Hmmm.... If you ARE using DES passwords, don't you want to have crypt
linked to it so you CAN use DES passwords? As I understand it, the
purpose of the NODESCRYPTLINKS is to allow the "real" DES libraries to
be on the system but have crypt link to the md5 versions. Maybe I don't
understand what you're trying to accomplish here...
