Description Kent Howard 2000-12-21 07:42:07 UTC

encrypt() always returns NULL which according to the documentation means
that the crypt() function "is not available on your system".  The MySQL
RPMS from the MySQL authors also appears to exibit this problem.  However
the 3.22.32 RPMS from the authors works fine.

Confirmed. I'll be looking closer into it (but recommend PostgreSQL anyway :)

This should be fixed in 3.23.30-1, available soon from Rawhide:
