owl's tcb and musl? It's harder than it seems.

1) __crypt_blowfish() in musl isn't compatible with
__crypt_blowfish_rn().. so lack of support for owl's
__crypt_gensalt_ra() and crypt_ra/rn() etc. (owl's salt and tcb
prefixes):

http://cvsweb.openwall.com/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/Owl/packages/tcb/tcb/pam_tcb/support.c?rev=1.12.2.1;content-type=text%2Fplain

2) nss/rpc/yp - but can be easily removed from the owl's tcb.

http://cvsweb.openwall.com/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/Owl/packages/tcb/tcb/libs/nss.c?rev=1.4;content-type=text%2Fplain
http://cvsweb.openwall.com/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/Owl/packages/tcb/tcb/pam_tcb/yppasswd_xdr.c?rev=1.2;content-type=text%2Fplain

3) owl's shadow+tcb requires pam_userpass which requires libpamc (pam
client) from Linux-PAM... but it also can be removed. etc... etc.
(pam_chpw.c):

http://cvsweb.openwall.com/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/Owl/packages/shadow-utils/shadow-4.0.4.1-owl-tcb.diff?rev=1.5;content-type=text%2Fplain


Currently I'm trying to use OpenPAM with musl, but going to use the
owl's tcb (without nss).

btw. openpam-modules:

Best regards,
