In section "2.3 Userland Changes" of the release notes for 4.4-RELEASE, it says, libcrypt and libdescrypt have been unified to provide a configurable password authentication hash library. Both the md5 and des hash methods are provided unless the des hash is specifically compiled out. I believe this should be s/libcrypt/libscrypt/. The old libscrypt and libdescrypt are now combined into a single libcrypt. (Strictly speaking I would say, s/md5/MD5/ and s/des hash/DES hash/ but those are more style choices.) Fix: Note this in the errata for 4.4-RELEASE. How-To-Repeat: See, http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.4R/relnotes-i386.html http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.4R/relnotes-alpha.html
