Well, the Linux crypt, is the glibc crypt, which is written by Michael
Glad (and also very fast). Michael is danish, and ever since the
inclusion of crypt in glibc, glibc has been available in a split
version, where you'd get the crypt from europe.
This is from one of the danish mirrors of pub/gnu: (ftp.dnet.dk)
-r--r--r-- 1 diku 30175 Nov 9 1994 glibc-1.09-crypt.tar.gz
-r--r--r-- 1 diku 1693470 Nov 7 1994 glibc-1.09.tar.gz
To me the simplest and best solution, is simply to put crypt in a
shared library for itself. It's not gonna change much, if at all, and
it should be no problem for someone in europe to compile glibc-crypt
and provide it.
