The international version of UNIX crypt(3) does allow encryption, but not decryption; the source contains a preprocessor-flag INTL for that purpose: < #ifdef INTL < /* < * Ignore edflag in international version; < * only encryption is allowed. < */ . . . . . . . . . . . < #ifdef INTL < /* < * International version does not have setkey(); < */ But here in Germany we not only have the stripped down crypt.c, but also crypt.c.save, the original version! Perhaps someone forgot to remove the file before shipping the system to Europe ...
