under freebsd:
ln -fs /usr/lib/libscrypt.a /usr/lib/libcrypt.a
ln -fs /usr/lib/libscrypt.so /usr/lib/libcrypt.so
ln -fs /usr/lib/libscrypt.so.2 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2
and if profiled libs are installed:
ln -fs /usr/lib/libscrypt_p.a /usr/lib/libcrypt_p.a
forces use of md5 for the default crypt() function. be sure to change your
root password immediately. you will not be able to log in to any account
that has an old des password. under linux try editing your pam
configuration.

Right now it only uses crypt(). Which can be platform
dependent, but usually is just the normal 8 chars.
If you want to submit MD5 functions to replace crypt()
I will gladly incorporate them.
Question: can an MD5 crypt() replacement function also
correctly work for the regular 8 char encryption?
