I've looked into exact same thing, but I've given up for not enough will to emulate blowfish crypt with openssl. And, oh, crypt()'s way of computing MD5 is not very straightforward, maybe they wanted to increase security. If you find it reasonable, it would be nice to have same fun with sha1 and others as well. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
