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...
