First of all, make sure you are running the latest RH5 updates.  It's
reasonably likely that you're seeing a bug.

Second, in glibc, crypt() is moved off into its own libcrypt.  Make
sure you have a /lib/libcrypt-2.0.?.so, and that /lib/libcrypt.so.1 is
a symlink to it.

Again though, the first thing I'd do is make sure you are running all
the latest glibc rpm updates.  They've been updated numerous times
since RH5 came out.
