Frequently fallen into trap #1

New Freebsd user installs Freebsd without the 'secure' ware.  The new user
populates the password file with md5 hashes.  Then the user realizes they
wanted 'des' and loads 'secure'.  Now passwords don't work.

We can document how to unwind this with a stand alone boot.  I have walked
several new people through this process.  One too many today :-)
