On ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/glibc/2.1.3 is already a link to
glibc-crypt-2.1.tar.gz. I hope this will help the people to find
the correct version. I don't know if it is already mirrored to
the public server outside, but it should be due the next hours.

Linux is like a Vorlon. It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
