This question must be really dumb, but I cannot find its answer.

In a somewhat recently updated RELENG_6 FreeBSD, whenever I run the program /usr/bin/passwd to change an users password, it encrypts the password using DES. I have already configured /etc/login.conf for MD5, but it still goes with DES:

*$ grep passwd /etc/login.conf
       :passwd_format=md5:\
#       :passwd_format=des:\
$*

   What could I be doing wrong?

If that matters, this system has been receiving system and /etc upgrades since Sep/2003. Maybe some old configuration has been left around...

   Thanks in advance,

                                       Jonny
