Hi folks OK - through a conversation with Rod I have pretty much decided not to merge eBones with secure, as it is clear the two are separate. What I would like to do is remove the DES library (libdes.*) from eBones/des and put it in secure/lib/libdes, where I believe it belongs. Included in the new DES code that I have (and in the old BTW) is fcrypt.c, which is a faster (2-3 times) replacement for the DES-based crypt(3) we are currently using. I would like to include this fcrypt.c in libdes to reduce the number of libraries produced. Secure telnet and other bits of code will benefit from this move/merge. What say you? Not being much of a boffin with shared libs, I need to know one thing; Is there going to be a problem if the MD5 shareable libcrypt has a different number of (what do you call them?) 'entry points' to what the new libdes will have? What say you(2)? M -- Mark Murray 46 Harvey Rd, Claremont, Cape Town 7700, South Africa +27 21 61-3768 GMT+0200
