Thanks for your speedy reply! I tried to compile it, but it didn't quite
work. The results are below. Any more ideas would be greatly appreciated.
(Maybe an older version of crypt_gen?)   K.C.

$ sudo gcc crypt_gen.c -o my_encrypt
Password:
crypt_gen.c: In function `main':
crypt_gen.c:53: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a
cast
/tmp/ccBwKEJC.o: In function `main':
/tmp/ccBwKEJC.o(.text+0x1a0): undefined reference to `crypt'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
$
$ gcc -v

K.C.,

The program is in ~src/programs/irr_util and is called crypt_gen.c.
You should be able to compile it from the command
line with gcc, eg,

% gcc crypt_gen.c -o my_encrypt

The manual appears to be misleading.  Thanks for pointing
this out.  Let me know if you have any other problems.
