  I want to be able to allow a user to log on to another type of computer
by accessing a standard Unix password file. For this, I need a standard
Unix crypt routine. Since I'm liable to be bringing in some money for this
in the long run, I need a crypt routine in the public domain. Any pointers
to such a routine or actual code would be most appreciated.

  I'm not going to use it to break password files. a) you don't need the
source for that and b) I have the source for the BSD crypt, I just can't
use it.

  Thanks, in advance.
