Hi,

I am using Paul Gregg's checkpasswd and his mkpasswd.pl utility. Somehow, by
some strange luck, I managed to get a user working the first time no
problem, but any new ones I add don't work. It is driving me nuts.
Questions:
The mkpasswd.pl utility asks for a seed, and I just hit enter...is this
correct?
Why does mkpasswd.pl generate a different encrypted password for the same
real-world password each time you run it?
I tried copying the password from my working user entry to an entry with a
different name etc, but my mail client got the bad password error. This
baffles the hell out of me because it checks fine for one user but not
others. I think I just don't understand how the encryption works. Can anyone
help me out or guess as to why I am getting bad password errors?

Thanks.
Gregg
