>Description:
I was trying to troubleshoot still having (MD5?) entries in the
/etc/master.passwd file when my crypt libraries were supposedly the
DES versions (so I was expecting the standard 13 character crypt
style passwords).

After digging through the website, I found the "securing FreeBSD" section
of the handbook, that indicates that the 'passwd_format' field of 
/etc/login.conf determines the encryption algorithm in the password
file.

passwd_format is not mentioned in the online man-pages on my system
(I have not checked the WWW version at freebsd.org).
>How-To-Repeat:
Install a base system from floppies

add passwd_format=des to /etc/login.conf
