i don't know about other OSs/libcs and if they are reentrant or not. lets try to summarize (some help with people using postgres on other OSs will be usefull here): Linux/glibc crypt not reentrant crypt_r reentrant and always available DES crypt reentrant if pgsql is compiled with ssl support i can see ./configure trying to find a reentrant crypt and revert to a not-reentrant one only as a last resort. as i said, i don't know about other OSs, maybe OSs without glic/crypt_r already have a reentrant version of crypt. i can also try to patch libpq and the configure stuff to do that, if you're interested in including such a patch in postgres. ciao, federico -- Federico Di Gregorio Debian GNU/Linux Developer & Italian Press Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] INIT.D Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Qu'est ce que la folie?
