Check the previous postings... the *crypt* symlinks in /usr/lib/aout seem to
be pointing to the MD5 libraries, not to the DES ones. I think this has been
corrected since, but you will need to boot single-user and modify the
symlinks + re-passwd the accounts you modified (the MD5 password strings are
much longer, that should be easy to recognise).

Best Regards,


Pierre Y.
