AFAIK this has always been the way it works: if you install libdescrypt,
the system makes the (mistaken) assumption you want DES passwords all the
time. For now, just repoint the symlinks and edit out the build of
secure/lib/libcrypt - a proper fix might be to add a login class which
determines which of MD5 and DES you should use for new passwords, but I
won't be able to get that committed until after 4.0.
