Subject: libcrypt.a ?

While compiling Pine 3.90 on a SCO system I've run into the problem
there is no libcrypt.a on the SCO system. 

Can libcrypt.a be found anywhere via ftp ?

Thank you in advance

	It's prohibited to ship crypt ( DES ?) software 
	outside US.
	Some info on this could be found in SCO TechFAQ.
	As far as I remember there is so called "international
	crypt library"  ( somewhat relaxed version ) somewhere
	at sosco.sco.com ( TLS ).

Unfortunately it will fail if users password contains numbers, so it is 
quite unusable. And so does GNU -s crypt also.

You might also want to try the gnu version of crypt.  It is made in Denmark,
can be exported to anywhere, but if exported to the US, it cannot be re-exported.

Therefore, do not pick it up at the normal gnu sites in the US, but try some
site outside the us.  For example:

    site=ftp.uni-c.dk
    remote_dir=/pub/gnu

glibc-1.07-crypt.tar.gz

Here is the README:
The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which
provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points.  Because
of the United States export restriction on DES implementations, we are
distributing this code separately from the rest of the C library.  There is
an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is called
`glibc-1.05-crypt.tar.Z'.  You can just unpack the crypt distribution
along with the rest of the C library and build; you can also build the
library without getting crypt.  Users outside the USA can get the crypt
distribution via anonymous FTP from ftp.uni-c.dk [129.142.6.74], or another
archive site outside the USA.  Archive maintainers are encouraged to copy
this distribution to their archives outside the USA.  Please get it from
ftp.uni-c.dk; transferring this distribution from prep.ai.mit.edu (or any
other site in the USA) to a site outside the USA is in violation of US
export laws.

Hope this helps you

JC

Well since you don't live in the USA, it is illegal (by USA law) to export
that library.  SCO have an 'Internation Crypt Supplement' that will allow
you to compile your program:

ftp from ftp.sco.com:/SLS/lng225b.Z

I believe that the limitation is that you can encrypt, but not decrypt.
