I have a couple of users here who are reporting that on machines with
FIPS enabled, which in turn disables certain cryptographic functions,
FreeSurfer core dumps with a call to the crypt() function, which FIPS
disables.

Someone speculated based on output from strace that this is FreeSurfer
possibly attempting to validate its license.

Is this a known problem?  Is there a solution?

We have a university compliance office and possibly similar people
from our local VA who are insisting that FIPS be enabled.

If you need more information, please let me know and I will try to
obtain it for you.

Thanks,    -- bennet
