scrypt contains a crypt() function which only does MD5 passwords. 
descrypt contains a crypt() function which does DES and MD5 passwords, 
and contains goodies for encrypting data.  descrypt is not to be exported 
outside the USA, even if you got it from somewhere else.

If you are outside the USA, you can get descrypt from 
ftp.internat.freebsd.org.
