Hi,

	FreeBSD's crypt library uses MD5 to improve crypt's
unguessability.  Unfortunately I've got hold of some software 
which don't want to know about how clever FreeBSD is and would
quite like yer bog-standard boring crypt from the stone age,
please, thank you very much.

*sigh*

So, anyone know where I can get a drop in crypt source (I assume
there are lots of flavours) that I can use instead of the -lcrypt flag?

Cheers,
Ay.
