- I installed crypt on my system and everything works fine. However,
- if I put xdm in the /etc/rc.local so that I login under Xfree86, it
- doesn't find crypt and I have to enter my password encrypted (!!)
- Is there any fix for this? Do I have to recompile xdm?
- If so, where can I get those sources <only>. I don't want to get the
- entire X11R5 source
