It's not too odd. Somebody (ache?) modified the Makefile to DTRT for a regular build environment. This involves building the DES versions only if /usr/src/secure exists. I've modified the Makefiles again to also build the non-DES version if ``RELEASEDIR'' is set (this is only the case while building a release), but the statically linked binaries using -lcrypt remain to be the DES-encumbered ones. You have to relink them somewhere after moving the DES versions away for the `des' distribution. /sbin/init and /bin/[r]ed are the only binaries statically linked against -lcrypt (to the best of my knowledge). > > .

I've got a four-liner for review to Peter W. and Poul-Henning that simply closes down the CCP layer if no matching compression protocol could be negotiated. > I agree, but in the meantime it's just 2 extra lines in the .login > and .profile (.cshrc never contained a stty and should not have?).

I could select whatever menu item from the ``Documentation'' menu, and only got ``Sorry, this ain't here''. Of course, this was for my own SNAP, so if it's there in your version i assume you've done some extra work besides ``make release''? > > Further, using the latest XFree86 betas against a -current system > > shows strange effects. > Interesting.
