Uhm, Linux/Slackware :)
But it's not Slackware specific (I can confirm for Fedora too), you already
check for crypt in libcrypt in other configure passes (infact if you include
some other auth system, configure includes libcrypt correctly in the build
process).

I know that crypt() is in libcrypt in all glibc based systems.

Look at the crypt manpage:
Programs using this function must be linked with -lcrypt.

Bye
