Subject: quad_cksum failures.
Well turns out that quad_cksum was converted to compile on the
RT, but byte-order issues were never thought about. Therefore it
yields different results on the RT then it does on the VAX. The
password changing utilities are the first set of programs that put
this routine to use.
I have looked over the code and it shouldn't be too hard to
fix so that it works on the RT (though the RT version would suffer a
small performance degradation as byte swapping would have to occur at
several places in the algorithm).
