Thanks Vladimir. So md5 is available in SUNWperl584core package. Some questions I have. If I want to port two other encryption routines along with crypt-cbc, Is there anything I need to follow other than OSR ? What kind of naming convention I should follow while registering package name ? Should these packages also be prefixed with SUNW ? Which C-Team will be reviewing this ? To which consolidation does these kind of encryption packages come under ? Or let me know whom(/alias) can I contact to find these answers. This info I will need when I register the package.
