I note that this does not always work, even with libdescrypt installed. If the format is changed in login.conf and a user uses passwd to change a password, the format remains what it was before. It may be necessary to remove the password manually with vipw and then change it as root. If you want DES, leave $1$ at the beginning of the password in vipw; otherwise, leave it blank or with garbage. (Just make sure you change it.) FYI, libdescrypt handles both formats.
