I once knew the magic incantations for being able to verify a passwd by passing the salt from the encrypted password and the unencrypted password to crypt() to see if you got a string matching the encrypted password. I'm trying to write a small test program to do this, but I am not getting the encrypted string back. My first guess is this has to do with /etc/shadow passwords now using MD5, but according to the crypt man page, it should handle that. This is Red Hat 7.3. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer http://thekramers.net DK KD "This must be Thursday", said Arthur to himself, sinking low DKK D over his beer.
