I have made some changes to libcrypt in -current. The libscrypt/libdescrypt symlink sillyness is gone and the installed libcrypt is fully functional. Since pw(8) and passwd(1) create md5 hashed passwords by default (see the optional entry in loginl.conf), the default algorithm selection mechanisms are almost irrelevant. However, some third party programs might be affected. It is possible to set the default hash method (md5 or des) - for crypt(3) calls in the absence of other clues such as a $1$ or the like. See crypt(3) for details. This should be a pretty low-impact change, but it might be worth a little extra care if you have some application that does something strange with crypt().
