One small comment: This fix is completely wrong. In 4.4 (actually mid-4.3-STABLE) and above, there is no libedscrypt or libscrypt (see http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.4R/relnotes-i386.html). libcrypt contains the code for doing DES, MD5, and Blowfish passwords. No need for the old symlink kludge. -- Crist J.
