Hi all,

I'm currently performing a hash check for password verification.    I'm 
generating an md5  hash or checking for plain text in pg_shadow.  However, 
outside of these two "out-of-the-box" options, what if someone is using 
pg-crypto or any other PAM ?  How can I differentiate between say md5 and 
pgcrypto ?  I see the md5 is prefixed in hash in pg_shadow.  I was 
wondering what other prefixes may exist, say for pgcrypto.  If you have an 
examples of what a pgcrypto or any other PAM hash would look like (or what 
they would at least begin with), that would be great.

Thanks,
Frank
