Cool, thanks; I thought I'd looked there... (Seems like I
looked everyplace else... :)
What effect does this have on {build,install}world?
For example, does this "force" the *crypt links to *scrypt or
does it just "leave things as they are," whatever they might be?
How does this "#define" relate to previous versions of FreeBSD
if we didn't install the DES crypto distribution? With 4.x, I
have to install the crypto to get OpenSSH & that sets things up
to use DES instead of MD5. I've previously written that it
would be nice if we could select crypto using MD5... :)
My "guess" is that the default sysinstall sets up the links into
libscrypt* & if DES is "selected" then the links get set to the
libdescrypt* libraries.
Hmmm... Does that mean that make "tests" someplace for
existence of the DES libraries & handles this automagically?
