I have a couple of users here who are reporting that on machines with FIPS enabled, which in turn disables certain cryptographic functions, FreeSurfer core dumps with a call to the crypt() function, which FIPS disables.
Someone speculated based on output from strace that this is FreeSurfer possibly attempting to validate its license.
Is this a known problem? Is there a solution?
We have a university compliance office and possibly similar people from our local VA who are insisting that FIPS be enabled.
If you need more information, please let me know and I will try to obtain it for you.
Thanks, -- bennet
