Is there any way of using Crack with the international version of FreeBSD?
When I try running it I get the following errors:

From "out.pid":
join: Rejected /etc/master.passwd:paul:****PASSWORD REMOVED****:1006:1000::0:0:Paul Civati,Surrey,Private,:/home/paul:/usr/local/bin/tcsh: does not have 8 fields

From "out.hostname.pid":
pwc: May 19 18:53:00 Crack v4.1f: The Password Cracker, (c) Alec D.E. Muffett, 1992
pwc: May 19 18:53:00 Version of crypt() being used internally is not compatible with standard.
pwc: May 19 18:53:00 This could be due to byte ordering problems - see the comments in Sources/conf.h
pwc: May 19 18:53:00 If there is another reason for this, edit the source to remove this assertion.
pwc: May 19 18:53:00 Terminating...

Is the problem due to the international version using MD5 encryption whilst
the US one uses DES? If so are there any other programs that achieve the
same results?

Many thanks,

Chris
