The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which |
|
|
|
provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points. |
|
|
|
Because of the United States export restriction on DES |
|
|
|
implementations, we are distributing this code separately from the |
|
|
|
rest of the C library. There is an extra distribution tar file just |
|
|
|
for crypt; it is called `glibc-crypt-VERSION.tar.gz'. You can just |
|
|
|
unpack the crypt distribution along with the rest of the C library and |
|
|
|
build; you can also build the library without getting crypt. Users |
|
|
|
outside the USA can get the crypt distribution via anonymous FTP from |
|
|
|
ftp.gwdg.de [134.76.11.100] in the directory pub/linux/glibc, or |
|
|
|
another archive site outside the USA. Archive maintainers are |
|
|
|
encouraged to copy this distribution to their archives outside the |
|
|
|
USA. Please get it from ftp.gwdg.de; transferring this distribution |
|
|
|
from ftp.gnu.org (or any other site in the USA) to a site outside the |
|
|
|
USA is in violation of US export laws. |

Beside the separate crypt tar file there are some more add-ons which can be |
|
|
|
used together with GNU libc. They are designed in a way to ease the |
|
|
|
installation by integrating them in the libc source tree. Simply get the |
|
|
|
add-ons you need and use the --enable-add-ons option of the `configure' |
|
|
|
script to tell where the add-ons are found. Please read the FAQ file for |
|
|
|
more details. |
