Michael Kerrisk e409862f64 ftw.3: Clarify description of fpath argument
As reported by Pierre Habouzit, 'fpath' is not relative
to 'dirpath'. It is either relative to the calling process's
current working directory (if 'dirpath' was relative), or it
is absolute (if 'dirpath' was absolute).

Petr Baudis 2419294d22 crypt.3: Correct note on key portion significance
As Marcel Moreaux notes:

    The Linux manpage for crypt()[1] contains the following
    statement as the last sentence of the NOTES section:

        In the SHA implementation the entire key is significant
        (instead of only the first 8 bytes in MD5).

    It should probably say "DES" where it says "MD5" (and maybe
    "MD5/SHA" where it says "SHA"), because in MD5 password hashing,
    the entire key is significant, not just the first 8 bytes.

This patch fixes the wording.
