	Since the DES encrytion algorithm is used by so many computers, it
is illegal to ship the routines out of the country, (not that this will
REALLY stop someone if they want it).  You must call up SCO and they will
send you the disks with the crypt libraries on them (as long as your address
is in the US).  You must then compile with a  -lcrypt flag.

	Hope this helps.
