This change should be made as soon as the upgraded system has been
successfully rebooted.
o The ppp program fails to work, citing a missing shared library
called "libdes.so.3.0".
Fix: There are two possible fixes: The first and easiest fix is to
simply install the des distribution with /stand/sysinstall, remembering
to pick a site that will allow you to export it if you're outside
the United States and Canada (ftp.freebsd.org and ftp.internat.freebsd.org
both fall into this category). The second fix, which doesn't involve
having to fetch DES bits, is to install the ppp sources in
/usr/src/usr.sbin/ppp and rebuild them. The sources are "smart" enough
to know that the DES library isn't on the system and won't create a
binary which depends on it. Note: If you choose the latter fix, you also
will not be able to use MSCHAP (Microsoft Win*) style authentication.

2. Purely as a work-around, and what you may need to do if ppp
also constitutes your only way of getting to the net, is to simply
do the following (as root):
cp /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0 /usr/lib/libdes.so.3.0
ldconfig -m /usr/lib
3. Another fix, and one which doesn't involve having to fetch the DES
bits, is to install the ppp sources in /usr/src/usr.sbin/ppp and rebuild
them. The sources are "smart" enough to know that the DES library isn't
on the system and won't create a binary which depends on it.
NOTE: If you choose the 2nd or 3rd fixes, you also will not be able to
use MSCHAP (Microsoft Win*) style authentication.
