Thanks for the patch. I'll think it over. At the moment, I am focusing on the next lighttpd release (soon) For this PR, maybe lighttpd should look for libxcrypt and use that, if found, though libxcrypt is not small, weighing in at over 200 KB between .text and .rodata segments on my 64-bit system. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
libcrypt is linked into mod_authn_file and mod_authn_dbi only — the module table in src/meson.build gives libcrypt to those two and nothing else, and the lighttpd binary itself never calls crypt(). Declared on the core package it pulls libxcrypt onto every glibc install even when neither auth backend is selected; the plugin dependency lists at Makefile:257-258 are the matching place.
