This is still an issue. DES crypt is really an ugly wart on the side of
the FreeBSD nose..it's really a "legacy support" library and not something
we should be installing by default along with the rest of the
actually-useful crypto collection. Jordan, I wonder if it would be
possible at this late stage to have sysinstall ask a separate question
about DES password support, and use that to point the libcrypt symlinks
to one or the other?
