It seems, that on these GNU systems there's just a /lib/libcrypto.so.1. The attached patch looks just for this file if -lcrypt doesn't work. Looks a bit ugly, though it works fine in my tests.
Why isn't the linker picking up on it? The second argument to AC_SEARCH_LIBS tells what -l combinations to try (first crypt, then ufc). So, autoconf should be trying -lcrypt if it doesn't find crypt() with the current combination of libraries.
So, what exactly is the failure mode here? -- justin
