This is what I have on my old SuSE 6.2 box:
philips@iph:~ $ /sbin/ldconfig -p | grep crypt
libcrypto.so.0 (libc5) => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libcrypto.so.0
libcrypto.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0
libcrypt.so.1 (libc6) => /lib/libcrypt.so.1
libcrypt.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libcrypt.so
philips@iph:~ $ rpm -qfv /usr/lib/libcrypt.so
libc-2.1.2-47
philips@iph:~ $ perl -e 'print crypt("hello","world"),"\n"'
woglQSsVNh3SM
philips@iph:~ $
libcript in libc.
Unfortunately (for you - for me fortunately) I'm living in Europe and have
european distro... seems SuSE has no problems at all...
on Debian server:
philips@helen:~$ /sbin/ldconfig -p | grep crypt
libcrypto.so.0.9.6 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6
libcrypto.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0
libcrypt.so.1 (libc6, OS ABI: Linux 2.0.30) => /lib/libcrypt.so.1
libcrypt.so (libc6, OS ABI: Linux 2.0.30) => /usr/lib/libcrypt.so
philips@helen:~$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/libcrypt.so
libc6-dev: /usr/lib/libcrypt.so
philips@helen:~$ perl -e 'print crypt("hello","world"),"\n"'
woglQSsVNh3SM
philips@helen:~$
libcript in libc too.
Debian is nonUS - has no this problem too.
