PATCH: crypt(3) password support for pam_userdb

[Sebastien Tricaud]

Hi,

Thanks for you patch, I applied it into a separate (unofficial) branch.

You can check it out there, with subversion:

svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/pam-st

viewcvs: http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/pam-st/


For those interested by pam-st, it's just a place where I apply patchs. 
I think it would be wise to merge it into the officiel cvs head then.


Sebastien.
