(RADIATOR) MD5 and SHA encrypted passwords.

[Carles Xavier Munyoz Bald�]

Hi,
I'm using a DBM file to store the password of my dialup users.
I would like to use the MD5 and SHA password encription mecanism but I
don't know the format used to store the message digest (obtained using
MD5 or SHA) in the DBM users data base.

I have been reading the manual (section 13.1.1) and in one of the
examples, the MD5 for the string "fred" is
"CTpht$Obus9PLSMst1TDou.mN5bk0", but when I use the MD5 message digest
algoritm over the string "fred" I obtain a binary stream of bytes. If I
use the base64 encode algoritm, I obtain an ASCII string different from
the one showed above.
The same thing happens if I use the SHA message digest algortim.
What is the format used by Radiator to store the encrytped passwords
obtained using the MD5 or SHA message digest algoritms ?
Uses some kind of random generated "salt" like in the crypt() function
used in UNIX to obtain the encrypted passwords stored in the
/etc/password file ?

Greetings
