New Login: need crypt

I am writing a new login which should have a few extras (any ideas ?) for
an SCO UNIX 3.2.2 machine.
Apart from the set_auth* stuff which I have found (omegod :-), there is a 
crypt(3) routine in the shared library libc_s that only returns 13 
characters of encrypted password.

SCO UNIX though, allows (and has) passwords with more than 13 encrypted 
characterns in the security database /tcb/files/auth/?/*.

Now the question: Does anyone know how it is done ? Do you have a free
version of crypt() that does that ? Is it somewhere in the archives ?
(No ftp please, just email)

Thank you very much.
Regards,
	JP
