Does anyone know what algorithm is used on the passwords in the /etc/shadow 
or /etc/passwd files? All the documentation I can find says crypt is used 
with two characters of salt which should output 13 characters. However my 
shadow file shows 34 character strings with dollar signs and slashes 
(shouldn't the output be alpha-numeric???). I already checked md5- nope.

Please reply to my e-mail address since i don't subscribe to this list 
(sorry, but i get enough php-general to keep me busy).


Thanks in advance,
Evan Nemerson
