Yes,  used Debian to build it, (dpkg-buildpackage -uc -B first, then
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -B -nc),  crypt is enabled.  Have done this many times;  it
all worked until a month or so ago, when Marcus and I had problems building the Hurd
with gcc-2.95.2

The setting up of the library may be wrong.  After installation /lib looked like:

libcrypt-2.1.3.so
libcrypt.a
libcrypt.so -> libcrypt.so
libcrypt.so.1 -> libcrypt-2.1.3.so

This is what was set up on 'automatic pilot'.  Should the link be

libcrypt.so -> libcrypt-2.1.3.so

followed by a re-compile of the Hurd.
