Let me explain; the 'exportable' libcrypt has to be (?) compatible with the DES-enhanced one. That lib (with DES) originally also contained the calles that are now in libcipher. These had to be pared out to keep the two libcryps equivalent. > However, isn't libcipher usable even if libcrypt isn't installed?

Perhaps the crypt.3 should be split - part for libcrypt (crypt(3)) and part for libcipher (the_rest(3)). > Can someone who is more familiar with how all this stuff interacts > these days either fix everything right so that make world will function > if /usr/man was been wiped, or tell me if my fix is fine, or > how it really should be fixed. Hows the above? I'll do it; I'll just be a little slow because my ?roff is not too healthy.
