Linux has a crypt(3) function, too, and it usually works.  You'll need
to tell us a bit more than 'in linux does not' - what exactly does not
work?

My first guess would be that you cannot compile or load your module,
because either the linker or the loader tells you that the 'crypt'
symbol is undefined.  In that case, try giving the -lcrypt option to
the linker, to tell it to use the libcrypt library - some Linux
distributions keep their crypt(3) in a separate library.

G'luck,
Peter
