Thanks for your reply but I found the problem. It was in the programming and not the encryption...

what is the entry in the "crypt_default" two OSes /etc/auth.conf files?
I suspect the FreeBSD 4.8 is defaulting to MD5 encyption and the FreeBSD 4.7 is knowledgable about DES encyption. MD5 passwords are obvious because they start with "$1$" and they are longer than DES encrypted passwords.
Sounds like you are re-implementing YP/NIS (see: man 8 yp).
