Straight from sysdep.h:

/*
 * CircleMUD uses the crypt(3) function to encrypt player passwords in the
 * playerfile so that they are never stored in plaintext form.  However,
 * due to U.S. export restrictions on machine-readable cryptographic
 * software, the crypt() function is not available on some operating
 * systems such as FreeBSD.  By default, the 'configure' script will
 * determine if you have crypt() available and enable or disable password
 * encryption appropriately.  #define NOCRYPT (by uncommenting the line
 * below) if you'd like to explicitly disable password encryption (i.e.,
 * if you have moved your MUD from an OS that does not support encryption
 * to one that does.)
 *
 * See running.doc for details.
 */

        I myself run on FreeBSD 2.2.2, and hacked in a few crypt libs
here & there.  Works fine. :)
