The JCE doesn't come with a version of crypt(3). I have however done the
port myself (from Solaris source), and it was very easy. You might want
to check in comp.lang.java.security and/or check with one of the Java archives
to see if there is a publically available version. Also, you should be able
to find a publically available C version of crypt(3) via something like
Linux source, crack, etc.
