        The problem I've run into is this statement:

  Ll ^= (S0L)[ *dp STEP];
---------------------^

        This error occurs when compiling crack-fcrypt.c. STEP is supposed
to be #defined to either ++ or --,  depending on whether BIG_ENDIAN
is defined,  or SMALL_ENDIAN is defined.  Are these system definitions?
The code within the conditional define will probably make a performance
difference depending on which one I use,  if I'm to use either.

        Anyone have a solution?  Once our Sparc 20 has cached the bad passwords,
I'd prefer to run it off the faster processor for the next run.

P.S.  Don't ask me to send you a copy of my password file so you can
test it   ;-)

If you'll accept a somewhat vague recall from Assembly class last year, this
might actually get you somewhere. The Endian refers to the memory model you
are using for the program. In that case, I think it's pretty safe to say
that on an Alpha, you would be using BIG_ENDIAN, because SMALL_ENDIAN is one
of those really ancient PC-type things with only a couple of megs of memory.
So you could probably #define BIG_ENDIAN, or remove the little ENDIAN option.
At any rate, with only 2 cases.. go for the old trial and error method..

(I did run 'bytesex' on an alpha last year, and it gave the correct result)

Dump fcrypt() and go get a copy of UFC.

Also, change all instances of:

into:

        (char *) ctime(blah)
