crypt(1) doesn't exist in SUSv2 nor did it exist in XPG3 back in 1987. It's a OS dependent application which you can't expect to do the same or even exist on other OSes. Cygwin's crypt(1) is just for the purpose of creating a DES encrypted password for 9x/Me users. That's fine. Having crypt(1) doing something else on other OSes is fine, too.

My guess is You're not honestly assuming that Michael and Chris don't know what that error means, do you? That's called "irony".
