As I understand, Debian slink comes with MD5 crypt because of export restrictions. I want to have a real crypt so I went to a german ftp server, found glibc 2.0.7 source and I downloaded it. Of course the real crypt is in a separate tar file. I downloaded that too and unpacked it in the glibc source tree I read the faq as far as compiling glibc and it said to do a configure like
./configure --enable-add-ons=crypt,linuxthreads What I am wondering is, is glibc on slink compiled with linux threads? It seems as if there are issues either way and that I probably ought to go with it if it was compiled with it or vice a versa if it wasn't. ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/glibc/2.0.7pre6 brian -- Brian Lavender http://www.brie.com/brian/
