I have compiled in support for crypt in php-2.0b9 and FreeBSD 2.1.6
using the lcrypt FreeBSD library.   I am encrypting using line like
(PHP scripting):

	$CryptPass = crypt($Pass1,"_1ftn2jvb");

The problem is about half the time I get what looks like a nice
encrypted string and the  other half I get something like /.1N0 for
the return string.  Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong
here.

Thanks
