[sci.crypt] crypt internat. / DES

mattern@uklirb.UUCP (11/06/86)

The international version of UNIX crypt(3) does allow encryption, but not
decryption; the source contains a preprocessor-flag INTL for that purpose:
< #ifdef	INTL
< 		/*
< 		 * Ignore edflag in international version;
< 		 * only encryption is allowed.
< 		 */
  . . . . . . . . . . . 
< #ifdef	INTL
< 	/*
< 	 * International version does not have setkey();
< 	 */

But here in Germany we not only have the stripped down crypt.c, but also
crypt.c.save, the original version! Perhaps someone forgot to
remove the file before shipping the system to Europe ...
