WHen I install servers, I don't select any options when it asks for additional encryptions services (des, kerb, etc) during install.
We have frontpage 3.0 (98 extensions) setup and they seem to create des passwords by default. I beleive our systems (not selecting any options) installs md5 libcrypt. So frontpage never works after I setup a web, I have to go use htpasswd to create a new password again, then everythign works.
Can I dropin a new libcrypt, do a make world or something to solve this compadibability issue on a running server? Should I just re-compile htpasswd and httpd to use des (is this possible with libcrypt using md5).
Just install the des distribution from the install media. The DES crypt library understands MD5 so you don't need to convert your passwords. YOu may need to rebuild some stuff if you want it to use DES vice MD5.
