No, you don't need to re-compile your system. All the system binaries are linked against the shared version of the crypt lib, and will happily use the MD5 (stock), or DES version (securedist). There are some subtle compatibility problems with the MD5 crypt. The encrypted passwords are bit a longer, so some apps accidently truncate them. Tom
