Dumb question about DES/MD5 in /etc/master.passwd

This question must be really dumb, but I cannot find its answer.
In a somewhat recently updated RELENG_6 FreeBSD, whenever I run the
program /usr/bin/passwd to change an users password, it encrypts the
password using DES. I have already configured /etc/login.conf for MD5,
but it still goes with DES:
*$ grep passwd /etc/login.conf
:passwd_format=md5:\
# :passwd_format=des:\
$*
What could I be doing wrong?
If that matters, this system has been receiving system and /etc
upgrades since Sep/2003. Maybe some old configuration has been left
around...
Thanks in advance,
Jonny
