Yes. Definitely. There's nothing inherently wrong with having libcrypt
linked in, but you're running HP-UX...and given the wide variation of
possible configurations for that abomination, it's a good idea to
compile everything from source if you have a choice.

I run NRPE on a mixture of 10.20, 11.0, and 11.11 HP boxen, all of it
compiled locally with SSL disabled. It all works perfectly well, and the
only CRC errors I see are signs of problems.
