heh! I ran into this problem just yesterday, entirely due to my own
neglegence. It's caused either by
1) not installing DES if the old setup was using DES
2) installing DES when the old setup was not..
What I did was reboot to single user mode, reset the root password,
goto multiuser, and fetch the DES distribution (either with
/stand/sysinstall or by hand). That solved it, I reset the root password
AGAIN, and it works great now.
Hope this helps.
