Yes. md5(1), sha(1) and bdes(1) can certainly be replaced by openssl(1) (at least functionally). With minor effort, openssl(1) can take over from them properly. Libcrypto is a complete(ish) replacement for libmd. We could do to libmd what we did to libmp; gut it and make it a wrapper. > We can definetly start that road with merging some of the man-pages... ... and libs.
