Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Could you provide some
details on the environment/distribution where crypt.h is not available
on the host? I've tried but on Fedora or Ubuntu, as soon as
glibc-devel (or equivalent) is installed, it pulls in
libxcrypt-devel. On Archlinux, /usr/include/crypt.h is also present.

Thanks for the additional information that you'll provide on this
topic!

Best regards,

Thomas
