Hi all,
Anyone know anything about MD5 hashes? I need to be able to encrypt passwords
from within a perl script, and I've grabbed the MD5 mods off of CPAN.
However, the PasswdMD5.pm mod docs leave a lot to be desired. Specifically,
the mention invoving the function as:
$cryptedpass
Thanks for all the responses - one of the great things about the Open
Source world is all the resources. I'd come across the package while
looking for something else, and now there's a bunch of other stuff to
look at.

For the reasonably bored, I just figured out how the MD5 enabled crypt
function in unix works, and holy ugly.
Basically, it takes a password and a salt. It then starts a 1000 iteration
loop. It then hashes the result of the hash iterativly, using the sale every
3rd time, the original pas
