> A bug in rc1 or is there something else wrong with the way I did this?
crypted passwords are known to work correctly on rc1--I'm able to /oper
on my testnet server, which is using crypted passwords.
I tend to use perl's crypt function to generate crypted password text.
Pick two letters out of the set [a-zA-Z0-9./]--these are the "salt."
Now execute:
perl -e 'print crypt("password", "sa"), "\n"'
(where "password" should be replaced by your password, and "sa" is the
salt you picked above.)
This should generate a 13 character string that properly crypts
"password" in the format crypted O-line passwords must be in. If it's
not 13 characters, that's a problem :)
