-The core of FreeBSD does not contain DES code which would inhibit its

-If password security for FreeBSD is all you need and you have no
-requirement for copying encrypted passwords from different hosts

-mixed password files - either DES or MD5 passwords will be accepted,
-making it easier to transition from one scheme to the other.
