FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE i386 Release Notes . . . libcrypt and libdescrypt have been unified to provide a configurable password authentication hash library. Both the md5 and des hash methods are provided unless the des hash is specifically compiled out. FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE Errata . . . A release note mentioned the merging of two libraries used for password authentication hashing, but listed their names incorrectly. The libraries that were merged were libscrypt and libdescrypt; the new unified library is called libcrypt. > My reason for asking... > > I've been having some odd errors[1] when profiling, and finally > traced it down to a stale libdescrypt.so.2 library remaining in > /usr/lib. > > Is there any harm in removing the descrypt and scrypt libraries, Nothing in the FreeBSD system should care.
