     i'm going to install freebsd 2.0 tonight and want to
   know the PROPER way to install the "secdist" des security
   package (i.e., how do i keep my password files from becoming
   interpreted incorrectly and locking me out?).  i screwed up
   my 1.1.5 installation beyond repair (by myself, anyway) by 
   trying to install secdist.

Just install it before you setup your passwords.

Be happy...
