I need to write a routine to check a password, not under Un*x,
and for this application the Un*x password encryptor looks like
it is adequately secure.

Is there a copyright-free implementation of the password hashing
routine available?  That's crypt(3), right?  The "crypt" program
in the net.sources archive USES crypt(3), it doesn't CONTAIN a
crypt(3).

Thanks,
