Subject:   Help: after 4.4 upgrade, blowfish fails

Hi all,

Bit of an emergency here: Our authentication database uses blowfish
encrypted passwords, and since the 4.4 upgrade yestarday, blowfish
encryption seems to fail. Usual process: cvsup, buildworld,kernel,
installkernel, reboot, installworld in single user, mergemaster, reboot.
But now crypt can't do blowfish passwords, which worked before.

The following code works with MD5 encryption (replacing the $2$ with $1$),
but returns just a single colon with my install of 4.4-RELEASE. Any
suggestions?

--------------------------------
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void main (void) {
   printf ( "%s\n", crypt ( "foo", "$2$fdfdyskf$"));
}
--------------------------------

Thanks in advance,

Gavin
