Hi,

I have a patch for Turbine (2.2beta) that implements Unix Crypt
support for user passwords (ah, the joys of adapting to legacy
databases =:-) ) in the DBUserManager and the DBUserService but I do
need an UnixCrypt implementation for this.

In the cryptix package is a suitable implementation for UnixCrypt,
which works fine for my case.

Are there objections in adding the cryptix32.jar to the Turbine 2.2
repository? Alternatively unbundling the cryptix.tools.UnixCrypt
method. The license seems compatible to the Apache License to me:
