A very good friend of mine recently had problems too, with Redhat 5.0.
Her
server admin upgraded to RedHat 5.0, and they didn't have the crypt
libraries
altogether (we had to #define HAVE_CRYPT_H 0 to fix). What if they get
crypt?
We'll want to encrypt passwords in the future, and, I'd rather not have
to
rely on a pfile converter (has anyone released one for stock that people
could
modify?!)
