As I understand, Debian slink comes with MD5 crypt because of export
restrictions. I want to have a real crypt so I went to a german ftp
server, found glibc 2.0.7 source and I downloaded it. Of course the real
crypt is in a separate tar file. I downloaded that too and unpacked it
in the glibc source tree I read the faq as far as compiling glibc and
it said to do a configure like
./configure --enable-add-ons=crypt,linuxthreads
What I am wondering is, is glibc on slink compiled in with linux threads? It
seems as if there are issues either way and that I probably ought to
go with it if it was compiled in originally.
I am supposing that I can do the above configure and the following steps, and I should have glibc with crypt
make
su
make install
Here is the ftp site where I got crypt for glibc.
