On OSF we can force a linking with all the libs except what is wanted
by specifically mentionning them in the link line.. if this works
for FreeBSD we could 'statically link' everything except -lcrypt.. ?

would that be a compromise?
does it work?

how about two of them, and let the user select?
(he has to edit /etc/inetd.conf anyhow)
