Can anyone tell me what you have to do in order to use crypt under SCO xenix? I have a friend using a xenix system who simply wants to validate user-entered passwords against the appropriate /etc/passwd entries. Using crypt(key,salt) works fine here on my sun systems, but his xenix system doesn't seem to have the right library. Can anyone help out? Tell me what he needs to do in order to validate username/password pairs against the password file in xenix? I'd really appreciate mail replies - I don't tend to read this newsgroup. Much much obliged, SImon Hackett University of Adelaide South Australia e-mail: simon@itd.adelaide.edu.au
