Icecast - Aug 2004 - Encrypted password problem with icecast 1.3.11

This is what I get when I do ldd on the icecast binary.

[root@gala bin]# ldd icecast
        libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x0ffb3000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x0ff65000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x0ff2e000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0fde9000)
        /lib/ld.so.1 => /lib/ld.so.1 (0x30000000)
[root@gala bin]#

It looks like the libcrypt is there alright. I guess that I am still
wondering how the encryption can work if the mkpasswd program does not
produce the same results every time? Thoughts?

if you're on Linux, then:

$ ldd icecast 

hould list libcrypt as part of the linked libraries. 

If this is not the case then crypt support was not activated during
compilation for one reason or another (e.g. a typo in configure command
line) 

hth.

Actually, you want mkpasswd to generate different hashes each
time.  Otherwise you've just handed the attacker the keys.

I tried and tried to get crypted passes to work but to no avail.  It's
been awhile since I've done any work with Icecast so YMMV.  I'm not sure
if the crypting hooks are in place on my floppy based distro.  I think
/bin/login for the console is compiled static.  I'm going to rip Icecast
out one of these days from my project so it's really not an issue for me.
