Exact sequence as what you see in the book?  Is that "Cryptography and
Network Security" by Behrouz A. Forouzan?

Well, I don't readily have the answer to this.  I don't have that book.

If you're referring to oracle_fmt_plug.c: oracle_init(), then it has the
parity bits in its specified key dropped by the DES_set_key() call.  We
need to implement an equivalent of this, which we may do by adjusting our
specified key value as I had proposed (no need for any runtime overhead).

Things are trickier with these lines, also in oracle_fmt_plug.c:

        DES_ncbc_encrypt((unsigned char *)cur_salt, buf, l, &desschedule1, (DES_cblock *) crypt_key, DES_ENCRYPT);
        DES_set_key((DES_cblock *)crypt_key, &desschedule2);

I think what you need to do here is to apply the normally-excluded (in
JtR's code) DES final permutation between these two steps.
