I'm running tacacs+ plus on Freebsd to authenticate my Cisco As5200's
To avoid re-adding usersl, I am attempting to referance my existing
passwd file.  The problem is that the passwd file is md5 crypt.  which
tacacs+ does not support.   I need a DES crypt passwd file which I
don't have.

 So I have three choices:

1.Install the libdescrypt on freebsd (where can I get it? as a   
    binary?and how to link it (will I need to re-add my users?) 

2. or convert the md5 passd file to a des passwd file. (anyone know if
     there are scripts to do this ? where?)

3. Run Radius to authenticate my Cisco AS5200's (if the as5200 support

    radius, Any experienced users with Radius on Freebsd?)

Any recomendations / suggstions will be greatly appreciated 
Doesn't seem like deadlins are always too short?  I have only 4 days
to decide which way to go.

Cheers,
