greater than 8 character passwords on SCO OSR6

[Roger Cornelius]

I read the exchange regarding > 8 char passwords on Unixware from the
end of June.

Is anything being done to add support for >8 character passwords on SCO
OSR6 (in udk mode)?  I have it working by calling osr5bigcrypt(), instead
of bigcrypt(), in openbsd-compat/xcrypt.c and linking with -lcrypt.
libcrypt has bigcrypt(), but for whatever reason, openssh built with it
fails to authenticate passwords >8 chars in length.

bigcrypt() is not documented as being available in udk mode, and
osr5bigcrypt() is not documented at all, so not sure if this is the
"correct" fix.
