Hmm, I'm not sure. This library is only a password hashing library today (and also in UNIX 6 :), but when it provided encrypt() function (from UNIX 7 to Glibc 2.27) it can really do "encryption and decryption" (in a broken way though). But I guess we can change "password and data encryption" to "password hashing", at least. > > -.RI ( libcrypto ", " \-lcrypto ) > > +.RI ( libcrypt ", " \-lcrypt ) > > I see that another page probably also needs to be fixed. > Would you mind fixing it too,if appropriate, in this patch? Ah indeed, I didn't catch it. -- Xi Ruoyao <xry111@xxxxxxxxxxx> School of Aerospace Science and Technology, Xidian University
