The information in this directory should be all you need to create a password
encryption library for use with I-Net 225. Headers are in the 'include'
directory one level back (with the rest of the network include files).
Simple create a shared library named 'password.library' to the given specs,
and copy it to 'Inet:libs'.
Upon network startup, if 'Inet:libs/password.library' can be opened, and calls
to 's_crypt()' in the socket library will wind up calling the 'make_password()'
entry in 'password.library'. All of the I-Net 225 clients & servers that deal
with passwords call 's_crypt()'.
If 'Inet:libs/password.library' wasn't found, calls to 's_crypt()' will use
the old standard encryption method used by the older Commodore AS225 software.
Two things to remember:
1) Since the password.library is opened at network start, and held
open until the network shuts down, if you copy a new password
library file into 'Inet:libs' while the network is running, you
will have to shut the network down and bring it back up for the
new password library to be brought into use. The library is
held open until network shutdown for performance reasons.
2) If you do change password.library files, or simply install one
where you didn't have one before (as in a new install of the
I-Net 225 package), you *must* delete all encrypted passwords
from the 'Inet:db/passwd' file, and re-enter them with the
'Inet:c/passwd' program, or no passwords will work.
