Yes, this would also be needed for a 'crypt' module. Now the other part, which is also needed for portable applications, is to fix this portability problem: This function is missing on some platforms: FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0, Cygwin, mingw. In other words, add replacement code to gnulib (either freshly written, or taken from glibc). Bruno -- In memoriam Elisabeth von Thadden <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_von_Thadden>
