The use of standard crypt makes sense as you suggest, however, I believe that the crypt which is distributed with Debian 1.1 is broken, or at least incompatable with the standard Unix crypt algorithm. Whether this is a bug or a security enhancement is unknown. I do know that when I tried to copy my /etc/passwd file from a Sun system to Debian 1.1, the passwords would not decrypt correctly on login. Since the passwd file that I'm trying to test is not native to Debian Linux, the native Debian crypt algorithm won't be much use in it's incompatible state. I do get some warning messages when crack is invoked. Perhaps this is related to why it won't run: Any Ideas? bytesex.c: In function `main': bytesex.c:19: warning: left shift count >= width of type crack-pwc.c: In function `TryManyUsers': crack-pwc.c:556: warning: passing arg 2 of `strcpy' makes pointer from integer without a cast crack-pwc.c: In function `TryOneUser': crack-pwc.c:598: warning: passing arg 1 of `strcmp' makes pointer from integer without a cast crack-pwc.c: In function `main': crack-pwc.c:1094: warning: passing arg 1 of `strcmp' makes pointer from integer without a cast The version of crack that I am using is 4.1f. I thought that somebody on this list made reference to version 4.5 about a week ago. Do you know what the most recent version is and where it can be obtained? Jim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
