I've just been bitten by the following, so I figured I might as well warn others. From a quick glance it doesn't seem to have been mentioned, or not clearly enough, in this list. - libscrypt/libdescrypt major number has been bumped a few days ago. - /usr/bin/login and friends are now linked against libscrypt instead of libcrypt. The bottom line is, if: - you don't have crypto sources on your machine - you were using a symbolic link from libcrypt* to libscrypt*/libdescrypt* - you used that to link to an old libdes binary then ***test*** your compiled login binary before you reinstall everything. Thanksfully I kept an older -current on another machine from which I could find a working copy of login, which saved me from totally ruining my night. But I'll be sure to install complete crypto sources first thing tomorrow morning on my machines. -- Pierre Beyssac pb@enst.fr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
