i installed some systems using the 4.0-RELEASE cd, then
cvsup to 4.x-stable and those systems use DES passwds, which is what
i want.

4.1-STABLE FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE #0: Thu Sep 14 10:01:02 EDT 2000

then i installed some more systems, using a 4.1-RELEASE cd, then cvsup
to 4.x-stable but these systems insist on using MD5 crypts in the passwd
file.

4.1.1-STABLE FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE #0: Thu Sep 28 16:45:58 PKT 2000

is this a feature or a bug?

how do i get these systems to revert to using DES crypts for the passwd file?

(i am not on the hackers list, but generally check the searchable archives
on www.freebsd.org.  CC's to me directly would be appreciated)
