There seems to be a problem with crypt() since the changes to the libcrypt
libraries.  The /etc/passwd file is using md5 just fine, since it gets its
configuration from /etc/login.conf and the passwd_format variable.
Everything else has gone back to DES.  Previously with the links from
libcrypt to libscrypt, everything that used crypt() would use md5.  I have
a number of cvs pservers that used md5 in their passwd files (I was using
htpasswd to create the files and the password hashs, which because of the
libcrypt links created md5 passwords by default).  These pservers are no
longer about to compare the passwords since crypt() is spitting out DES
hashs.

Is there a new way to get md5 hashs out of crypt()?  If so, has it been
implemented in the cvs pserver?
