Help with Smail3 please

[louis@signalpath.on.ca (Louis Bertrand)]

Dear misc list folks,

I am trying to compile Smail 3.2 (the release version) on
Obsd2.3 (CD-ROM version) but the make chokes on a few things
in Smail's "pd" directory.

.../pd/getopt looks for two libraries that look like they
don't exist or are unusual in BSD.

Here is the error message from the make:

 Build $ROOT/pd/getopt/defs.sh...defs.h...defs.sed... done
 cc -g -L/usr/local/lib getopt.o -o getopt -lident -lcrypt \
   ../../compat/compat.a
   ld: -lident: no match
   *** error code 1

The libident and libcrypt are missing in Obsd (at least I
can't find them). I guess lib crypt is radically different
because of the extra security algorithms.

What gets me is why I would need to compile getopt in the
first place. Isn't it already available in Obsd?

Thanks
