No.  The `crypt' command, which implemented an incredibly weak cipher,
was not deemed valuable enough to be re-implemented from scratch by
Berkeley or (so far as I am aware) anyone else.  Thus, it is only
available subject to a license from USL.

Our iBCS2 emulation might be good enough to run a statically-linked
SCO or SVR3 binary if you have one.  You'll need to compile your
kernel with `options "COMPAT_IBCS2"' and enable the appropriate option
in /etc/sysconfig.
