You have to use -ldescrypt as -lcrypt (as opposed to -lscrypt). Note that the default MD5 encryption is stronger than DES. Btw., you've sent several problem reports recently, but all mails to you bounce with something like /foo/bar/...: permission denied. Hence you didn't get the questions and answers to those reports. (I think it's possible to query the GNATS database by mail. Ask majordomo@freebsd.org on how to accomplish this.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
