Am I missing something altogether too trivial, or is the modified DES encryption used in the old fashioned Unix /etc/passwd file just not implemented in Go at all, not even as a reasonably easily found user package?
Even though crypt(3) is no doubt dated, there may be value in some Go support for it, if only for archaeological purposes. In my case, I just have some old database whose internal access control uses crypt-compatible password encryption and it is too much bother at this point to change that for the rare occasions when it is needed. If push comes to shove, I can code the algorithm myself in Go, but I'd rather spend my time on more rewarding tasks.
