(RADIATOR) Bad encrypted password

Hello,

We have some problem with our Radiator-2.18.1 in FreeBSD 4.3
We have DES encrypted password for almost all users in Mysql database. 
Some users have MD5 passwords in database. Users can change password 
from web and it uses UNIX crypt() function to encrypt it and saves to 
database.

Problem is:
Sometimes users can't login to Radiator. It says bad encrypted password.
Sometimes users can login but after disconnecting connection and trying 
reestablishing connection it says again bad encrypted password.
In system when I issue command
ls -l /usr/lib/libcrypt*

it points to DES libraries. But when I change password from shell it 
creates MD5 passwords for users. Also seems like sometimes some users 
password changed from DES to MD5 without user intervention. Is it 
problem of OS or problem of FreeBSD? Of course it is off topic question 
but are there anyone who can help me to solve this kind of problem?

Can somebody give me advice, direction to solve this problem?
Also I want to have only one encryption standard for all users. How to 
accomplish that?


thanks in advance,


Ganbold
