2 weeks ago Oracle released the instant client 10.2.0.4 for Mac OS Intel. Yesterday I had the time to recompile checkpwd (checkpwd for other platforms) with the new instant client. The compilation worked flawless.

The performance of checkpwd with the native Oracle Mac client is 50% faster than the previous version for PPC.

Here are the links:

• Checkpwd 1.23  [Mac – Intel – native] – 37 MB – with Oracle instant client
• Checkpwd 1.23  [Mac – Intel – native] – 68 KB – without Oracle instant client
• Checkpwd 1.23  [Mac – Intel – native] – 68 KB – Passwords are not displayed

And here sidguess recompiled for Mac – Intel:

•  Sidguess 1.02  [Mac – Intel – native] – 16 KB -without Oracle instant client
