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:

        $cryptedpassword = unix_md5_crypt($password, $salt);

But never mention what a legal MD5 salt is.  I know that a legal DES salt is a 
2-charstring with those 2 characters being anything in the set 
('a..z','A..Z','0..9','.','/').

Is it the same for MD5?

Thanks,
