I talked to Patrick about the problems with cryptdir. He explained that
the problem is the expect script attempts to call the command "crypt",
which we do not include. It was found on Digial UNIX (I guess we call
that Tru64 now). It appears that our fix will be to remove it and a lot
of other stuff from the expect package, since these scripts call things
that do not exist on Linux systems and apparently haven't been tested too
well.
