Hi guys.
I find it rather unfortunate that you provide crypt() function. This
causes a lot of conflicts in poorly written configure scripts and
Makefiles especially on GNU systems that provide crypt with richer
functionality.
I see few possible solutions:
- removing crypt() from libcrypto
this has probably close to no chance as there may be many
projects that rely on your implementation
- optionally removing crypt()
based on options given to config script
- enhancing crypt() with the functionality provided by GNU glibc so
that it provides the same features (MD5 crypt)
I'm looking forward to your point of view.
