I don't know about the implications of it being in both the FAQ AND the Errata though... The answer is here: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/2.2.6R/errata.html Here is the answer: ----- o The ppp program fails to work, citing a missing shared library called "libdes.so.3.0". Fix: There are three possible fixes: 1. The easiest fix is to simply install the des distribution with /stand/sysinstall, remembering to pick a site that will allow you to export it if you're outside the United States and Canada (ftp.freebsd.org and ftp.internat.freebsd.org both fall into this category). 2. Purely as a work-around, and what you may need to do if ppp also constitutes your only way of getting to the net, is to simply do the following (as root): cp /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0 /usr/lib/libdes.so.3.0 ldconfig -m /usr/lib 3. Another fix, and one which doesn't involve having to fetch the DES bits, is to install the ppp sources in /usr/src/usr.sbin/ppp and rebuild them. The sources are "smart" enough to know that the DES library isn't on the system and won't create a binary which depends on it. NOTE: If you choose the 2nd or 3rd fixes, you also will not be able to use MSCHAP (Microsoft Win*) style authentication. ----- The fix is really up to you. I chose #2 and have been happy since.
