I tried posting another thread about this but it doesnt seemed to have appeared so... I am using FreeBSD 2.1.5 with the MD5 crypt libs instead of DES. Now I know MD5 prefaces all output with $1$, and therefore assumed the salt was the 4th and 5th characters accordingly but when I use the crypt function with these as the salt it doesn't produce output that matches the crypted passwords in the passwd file. My code works fine on other BSDs using DES without any changes. The crypted ouput that does get generated is in MD5 style so I can only assume I am using the crypt function incorrectly due to the salt or some other reason. Any help appreciated, Neil Levine Yoyo Internet Services levine@yoyo.org
