Hi guys, Here followes how the problem was solved. Before the system upgrade to 4.5, there was no separate /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2 file, it was symlinked to libdescrypt.so.2, and making the things the same way solved it! Playing with /etc/auth.conf didn't help.
To be more precise, symlinking libcrypt.so.2 on a running system cannot be done, so what I did was copying /usr/lib/libedscrypt.so.2 to a temporary directory and running command install -c -s -o root -g wheel -m 444 -fschg libcrypt.so.2 /usr/lib And beside this, the following symlinks were needed: /usr/lib/libcrypt.a -> libdescrypt.a /usr/lib/libcrypt.so -> libdescrypt.so They could be done by the ordinary way. If anybody have comments on the subject it's interesting to hear them, and my big thanks to all who helped solving this issue.
