Synopsis: Can't create password files using the crypt algorithm under Windows State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: marc State-Changed-When: Mon Nov 1 07:11:54 PST 1999 State-Changed-Why: If we had the choice, we would use crypt() on Windows and not need the whole MD5 thing. But Windows doesn't have a crypt() and we can't add one without having export control issues. So no, you can not generate crypt()ed passwords from Windows and there is no plan to let you since then code would be export restricted from the US.
