 I think you're right ! Here it is my "current" (971117-SNAP) system:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  bin     13 Nov 21 09:14 /usr/lib/libcrypt.a -> libdescrypt.a
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  bin     18 Nov 21 09:14 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0 -> libdescrypt.so.2.0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  bin     15 Nov 21 09:14 /usr/lib/libcrypt_p.a -> libdescrypt_p.a
-r--r--r--  1 bin   bin  10770 Nov 17 12:06 /usr/lib/libdescrypt.a
-r--r--r--  1 bin   bin  16698 Nov 17 12:06 /usr/lib/libdescrypt.so.2.0
-r--r--r--  1 bin   bin  12426 Nov 17 12:06 /usr/lib/libdescrypt_p.a
-r--r--r--  1 bin   bin   4616 Nov 17 12:06 /usr/lib/libscrypt.a
-r--r--r--  1 bin   bin  12579 Nov 17 12:06 /usr/lib/libscrypt.so.2.0
-r--r--r--  1 bin   bin   5104 Nov 17 12:06 /usr/lib/libscrypt_p.a

[ BTW, what is(was?) the lib*crypt_p.* stuff ? ]


  So what does accomplish the installation of the new /sbin/init which
comes with the DES distribution then ?
