I'm confused.  What crypt is being talked about here, the command line
crypt or the library crypt()?  If it's the command line crypt,
wouldn't it be trivial to make a command line version using the
library call?  We only need a one-way crypt, right?

If you're talking about the library, then Linux and FreeBSD have it.
