I think installing the DES distribution would be all you need. Basically, you need to: . install the DES libraries (libdescrypt*) under /usr/lib . make the libcrypt* symlinks point to the DES versions . re-install a couple of statically linked binaries that are using -lcrypt: /sbin/init, and /bin/[r]ed. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
