People have used wine in the past to run minilogin. Also, there is a Perl version of minilogin for 5.7-dr6 servers out there. Since you have the source(if you d-load it), you could prolly mod it to use IP addresses in stead of the uname/pword, thus bypassing the encryption issue. Just some thoughts. There are a couple other sources out there that you could take ideas from, though I haven't seen any that can simply compile and work out-of-box.
